Actually Red Hat has replaced inetd with xinetd, its not a change of
name.

Add the following line
includedir /etc/xinetd.d
in xinetd.conf file and make sure you have an entry like
defaults
{ ...
...
...
enabled = telnet
}
Then change directory to /etc/xinetd.d
In this directory you have configuration files for individual internet
services. Open the configuration file for telnet and check if the
service is not disabled (disable = no). Its enabled by default.
Now restart xinetd by issuing
/etc/init.d/xinted reload
to run the superserver

telnet localhost as suggested above.
