Do a man on rpm. You should be able to force it to uninstall. From memory I think it would be 'rpm -ef xinetd-...' where ... is your xinetd version info. 'rpm -qa |grep xinetd' will show you the exact string you need. You could also try the freshen option.

telnet is not secure. Lots people begin just using ssh and sftp right now.
