Don't believe any of these are relevant to your stated problem.

Again, I don't think this is relevant to your stated problem.

try adding:

                   telnetd: whatever : ALLOW

Note the use of ':' - I have no idea whether the wrappers will
allow you to use '|'.


As a general matter, service: ALL : ALLOW is very bad if your
machine is connected to the internet.  You really do want
your allow statements to be in the form:

service: exact list of machines or networks that should be allowed :ALLOW


Now then ... one last thing: DON'T USE TELENT AND RLOGIN - get out of
the habit of using them even on local networks.  They are painfully bad
security holes.  Learn to use ssh instead.

HTH,
