Well, I'd say it's a good indicator of something going wrong.  The
server attribute in /etc/xinetd.conf tells xinetd what program to
execute to invoke that particular service.  Open up xinetd.conf with the
editor of your choice, and search for "service telnet"...see what the
entry for it looks like =)
