Also check /etc/inetd.conf - look for telnet - it may be commented out. Vi the file and uncomment it and then do a kill -HUP on the inetd process (find it with the ps -ef|grep inetd command)

Example:
# ps -ef|grep inetd
root 177 1 0 Apr 28 ? 0:03 /usr/sbin/inetd -s
root 17304 17302 0 17:06:56 pts/2 0:00 grep inetd
# kill -HUP 177
#

This will make inetd re-read it's configuration file (/etc/inetd.conf). Also, telnet is sometimes turned off as company policy so if you need to check with your boss.

Sunsolve is a good place to start looking when you have a problem - found your error as follows:
Quote:
Connection refused
==================
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. This
happens either when trying to connect to an inactive service or when a service
process is not present at the requested address.

Activate the service on the target machine, or start it up again if it has disappeared.
If for security reasons you do not intend to provide this service, inform the user
community, possibly suggesting an alternative.

The symbolic name for this error is ECONNREFUSED, errno=146.

NAME

       inetd2rlinetd - configuration file converter

SYNOPSIS

       inetd2rlinetd [--force-overwrite] [--print-file-names] [--add-from-comment] [-f file] [-l entry] [directory]

DESCRIPTION

       inetd2rlinetd is a script to convert typical inetd.conf(5) style configuration files to rlinetd.conf(5) style configuration files.

OPTIONS

       -f file
	      File in inetd.conf(5) format which will be converted. Default in stdin.

       -l entry
	      A  line  in inetd.conf(5) format. Only that line will be converted. On Debian systems, this option is used internally by the update-
	      inetd(8) command.

       directory
	      Output files directory. Default is /etc/rlinetd.d.

       --force-overwrite
	      Forces overwriting existing files with new version.

       --print-file-names
	      Prints to standard output list of generated files.

       --add-from-comment
	      Puts special comment with original inetd.conf(5) line in front of each converted service.

   NOTE
       Options -f and -l cannot be used together.
