I would expect the problem to be one of the following:
1) inetd isn't running
Test with:
sh$ ps aux|grep inetd
Output should contain a line like:
root 601 0.0 0.0 1056 0 ? SW Feb21 0:00 [inetd]
2) /etc/inetd.conf file isn't configured to run ftpd or telnet
Test with:
sh$ grep ftpd /etc/inetd.conf
Output should contain a line like:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -l -a
Make sure the line isn't commented out with a '#' as the first character
Telnet is a similar test
3) /etc/hosts.deny disallows all access and /etc/hosts.allow doesn't
allow access from the ip/port configuration you are using
Test with:
grep ALL /etc/hosts.allow
For the simplest solution (not the most secure) the previous command
should have no output or the line should start with a '#'
If none of these point you to the problem post more information and I am
sure either I or someone else can help you more. If you are still lost
then let us know and someone can go into more details about each of these.
