Hai Why don't you use the debian feature /usr/sbin/update-inetd --disable telnet This command will remove the telnet daemon . Like this you can use it for all other services.
That only stops services running through inetd. Many daemons don't (ssh, mysql, postgresql, exim4, exim3 depending on config, courier-*, to name a few), so it won't work on them.
