Also, have you added/amended the line in inetd.conf:

#
# Internet server configuration database
#
#	@(#)inetd.conf	5.4 (Berkeley) 6/30/90
#

telnet	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/libexec/tcpd	telnetd

The TCP wrapper will not run if you don't tell inetd to run it. After
changing this file, be sure to send a -HUP to inetd.

Regards,

d.
