I think you need to have commas = (,) seperating=20 the ip's if you want them on the same line.
 
You also might want to check your usage = for the=20 service names... instead of using telnet or ftp , you'd probably want to = use=20 in.telnetd or in.ftpd on most linux distro's but that might not always = be the=20 case. I'd check your /etc/inetd.conf for the actual name (this obviously = does=20 not apply to ALL).
