You ought to see files like

/etc/xinetd.d/telnet
/etc/xinetd.d/rlogin

with contents like:

# default: on
# description: The telnet server serves telnet sessions; it uses \
#       unencrypted username/password pairs for authentication.
service telnet
{
        flags           = REUSE
        socket_type     = stream        
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        disable         = no
}


If 'disable = yes' then the service wont function.
Try editing this. I dont know how this cooperates with
the system-services app.

Cheers,
Terry.
