telnetd is installed (and there is a /usr/sbin/in.telnetd file on my
system).  I have installed nearly all packages under "Standard". (As well
as "Req"  and "Imp".)

inetd is running. (Don't know if it is configured correctly though...)

This is the output I get:

# telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
