All login messages including telnet logins are written to
/var/log/secure.  Telnet is configured so that you cannot login as
root.  The way around this is to login as a regular user and then login
as su.

To send a message to a user logged onto your system, you might try write
- check the manual pages for usage.  man write

If you want to disable other services, yes you need to edit inetd.conf
