Here's the line from netstat:

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:23              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
419/inetd   

I don't have lsof as a command.  Was that a typo or an addon?  

The netstat printout makes sense as I know that inetd can see incoming
packets and thinks they are for telnet, but cann't successfully start
in.telnetd.  (an aside to Asheesh, yes I have the telnet server installed.
That's where in.telnetd comes from.)

as root:
        lsof | grep 1024
will tell you what has bound to port 1024 (as well as some other stuff)
as will
        netstat -nlp --inet
to give you the list of open ports listening for both tcp and udp and the
-p option will also attempt to give you the process name as well.  A
combination of these two methods should tell you whether or not something
else is trying to run on port 23, tho I sincerely doubt anyone would stomp
all over a well known port reservation like that....
