Mandrake (and probably RedHat) have a separate RPM for the
telnet SERVER and telnet CLIENT. Go get the Telnet SERVER
package.
For SSH, you need to add sshd to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local
Did you install the ssh CLIENT or the ssh SERVER? This also
comes in multiple "flavors" such as "ssh-client..."
"ssh-extras..." and "ssh-server..."
