You will also need to change the /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files.
By default on a high-security install the hosts.allow is empty and the
hosts.deny is set to ALL:ALL. Normally, you can leave the hosts.deny as it
is, and let hosts.allow act as the exception list.
My /etc/hosts.allow (where 192.168.0.10 is my remote PC and 192.168.0.200 is
another user's PC):
--SNIP--
in.ftpd : 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.10
in.telnetd : 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.10
sshd : 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.200
--SNIP--
In my server installation, I did not need to change my inetd.conf to set up
telnet or FTP (or SSH for that matter).

Telnet and FTP are installed in a server installation, and the security
configuration does allow users to telnet it - problem is the allow files
don't let anyone access the system from remote using FTP or telnet unless
you make those changes.
I also recommend you install SSH.
