	telnet:	on

xinetd         	0:off	1:off	2:off	3:on	4:on	5:on	6:off

>> netstat -tlpn | grep 23

xinetd based services:
tcp        0      0 192.168.1.231:2100      0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      1856/sp_cop         
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:23              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      8546/xinetd       

Also, I ran the /usr/sbin/in.telnetd -debug and it gives this message as opposed to other machines which give nothing but a pid.
