Edit the /etc/xinetd.d/telnetd file, and enable the service, then reload the service by running 'service xinetd reload', it's recommended to use SSH instead of telnet

It is a normal behaviour since root remote access is disabled by default for security reasons (you always should connect as a normal user and the "su" root)... anyway, to disable this feature you should add the allowed ttys for root access. To do such thing edit the /etc/securetty file, add pts/0, pts/1, and so on.
