Im not sure on some of the specifics of all your problems. But a good start would be to install the upgrades, notibly the initscripts corrected many issues for me.
Good Luck! Ryan P.S. The telnet server is the kerberos server and it does not show /etc/issue.net, i went back to telnet from 8.0 and it works fine, but you may have to turn it on in /etc/xinet.d But obviously ssh is a better option.
