Yes, you are wrong. :) Telnet is a service like any other.
You can disable telnet altogether. I often do. SSH is much better
and you can set SSH to only let people on if they have the right
stuff (ie keys, etc).
Turn your telnet off (add a # into /etc/inetd.conf in front of the telnet line)
But keep in mind, you also won't be able to telnet....

I thought you wanted them to have some sort of access.... if you don't,
it's really easy...
