Do you have a specific requirement for these two protocols? For many years now ssh/sftp/scp have been able to securely provide analogous services, and I would recommend you take advantage of them before opening yourself up to the woes of root access on ftp and telnet. That being said, Are you not able to authenticate any users or just root? Are your ftpd and telnetd services being wrapped by inetd?

Can we see the error message? Are you sure inetd is running? Using the right username/password combination? In all honesty, you're better off enabling sshd instead, which encrypts your communication, and offers numerous other security enhancements over plain telnet and ftp.

Enabling FTP and Telnet access for root and users
