Do you have a specific requirement for these two protocols? For many years now ssh/sftp/scp have been able to securely provide analogous services, and I would recommend you take advantage of them before opening yourself up to the woes of root access on ftp and telnet. That being said, Are you not able to authenticate any users or just root? Are your ftpd and telnetd services being wrapped by inetd? Can you show inetd.conf? /etc/ftpusers contains a list of usernames that will be denied access through ftp, root and its alias toor are both in there by default
