If you are just setting it up the first time.
two possible reasons are:

try chconfig telnet on

or try

telnetting using a user other than root then SU after connection. The root account is blocked by default from telnet since all passwords are transmitted in clear text.

Also check the telnet part of xinet.d .

try

log as root

ps aux | grep telnet

if it is running you could log on to localhost.

if it is not running

cd /etc/xinet.d

edit telnet

service telnet
{
disable = no
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
log_on_failure += USERID
}

save this file

type /etc/init.d/xinetd restart

hope this will work

it is safe to use ssh than telnet because of security issues
