for telnet, try:
#chkconfig telnet on
#service xinetd restart
then make sure you have no firewall blocking port 23
for identd, try
#service indentd start
then make sure you have no firewall blocking port 113
for fingerd, well, I don't have it on my FC1 box so I can't say for
sure ......
By the way, look into security considerations for these if you're not
familiar with them.
