Do you have emerged the telnet-daemon (emerge netkit-telnetd)? Do you
have enabled the telnetd in either /etc/inetd.conf or /etc/xinet.d/telnet
(this path is possibly not correct, I'm no heavy user of xinetd, but I
hope you get the idea...)
It seems that there is no process listening to port 23 on your box. You
could verify this using "lsof | grep TCP", which lists all ports on your
machine to which an process is bound and listens to it...
HTH,
Jens
