I had the same problem with my 1.3 debian (ey, maintainers: could be a
bug). Look into your /etc/inetd.conf if the following lines are
included: 

telnet  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd
ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd 
/usr/sbin/in.ftpd

If not, just insert them and check if in.telnetd and in.ftpd are in
/usr/sbin.
