4./etc/init.d/xinetd restart
OK

you may wanna try this:
edit the file /etc/securetty and add the following to the end of the file:
pts/0
pts/1
pts/2
pts/3
pts/4
pts/5
pts/6
pts/7
pts/8
pts/9

can u log on as a regular user and then su to root? Also you should try to use ssh as it is more secure than telnet

Hi
Install telnet-server on your system and disable krb5-telnet in /etc/xinetd.d/krb5-telnet.
Move /etc/securetty as mv /etc/securetty /etc/securetty.bak
#service xinetd restart

Now try to telnet this machine as a root user. It will work.
Worked for my case though.
