Since you get a message from telnetd, it is unlikely that you have a problem
at the inetd level. If we take the error message seriously, it means that
telnetd can't find a free port to bind to in order to establish the
connection. Since there are more than 65,000 ports available, it is
improbable that they are all really in use, so this error means something
else. For some reason, telnetd cannot bind to a port.
Things to consider:
check the permissions on telnetd (should be 755, owned by root)
did you make any changes (updates) to shared libraries?
Also, check your logs (possibly /var/log/messages, but check
/etc/syslogd.conf to be sure) to see if telnetd (or inetd) is writing
anything more informative to the logs.
If you need to send a follow up message, please mention which distribution,
version, and kernel version you are using.
