Typically ftpd and telnetd are run out of inetd(what I've seen on later
distros anyway) so look in /etc/inetd.conf and check to see that ftpd and
telnetd are actully listed.

to start them manually you could try running in.telnetd(typically telnet)
and in.ftpd, though you'll have to play with them to find out if you
need any command-line  options or anything.

edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local and put the commands to start them in there.

ls /usr/sbin/in.* you should see telnetd and ftpd, although please note
this is based off of the assumption that the names of the daemons begin
with in.
