THere is a way to determine for absolute certain whether you are looking
at a host.allow
problem or not. Run telnetd without the TCP wrapper "tcpd". This is what
you said you had in inted.conf:

telnet          stream  tcp     nowait  telnetd.telnetd /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd

Now take out the tcpd part, and try this:

telnet          stream  tcp     nowait  telnetd.telnetd 
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd

Now see if you can telnet in. If you still cannot, then you have ruled
out TCP wrapper problems as the cause (which means it's not host.allow
or host.deny). If you can now telnet in, then you know that this is the
problem.
