First, make sure that you have telnet-server installed, try:
rpm -qa | grep -i telnet-server
That's the first step. If telnet-server isn't installed, grab the RPM and run (as root):
rpm -ivh telnet-server-0.17-26.2.i386.rpm (or which ever version of telnet-server)
and run (also as root):
chkconfig --level 2345 telnet on;chkconfig --level 2345 xinetd on;service xinetd restart
Then try to log in again, it should work.
