This is not true, you can use chkconfig for xinetd as well (run
chkconfig --list and you will see the xinetd services listed at the
bottom), but since xinetd doesn't do levels, the --level option won't
work.

So there are actually at least 5 things wrong with the %post snippet
here:
1) shouldn't be running chkconfig in a nochroot environment
2) the nochroot option is --nochroot, not -nochroot
3) telnetd is an xinetd service and doesn't use levels
4) the level option is --level, not -level
5) don't appear to have the telnet-server package installed (hence no
such file or directory error)
