As a user or root?
Linux will not allow a telnet as root by default.

In Linux, these services do not run continuously unless you set them
to do so. The default is they are invoked by inetd.
My RH6.0 has a inetd.conf, but I will not speak for RH6.2.
Try find /etc -name *inet*.
It is also a good idea to look for conf.file as well as file.conf if
you are not used to a distro.
