ftp:
* vi /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd
* change "disable = yes" to "disable = no"
* service xinetd restart

telnet:
This is one of those things where grizzled old sysadmins usually say if 
you have to ask, then you probably don't understand the security 
implications and shouldn't be told.  Telnet is evil.  99.999% of people 
don't really have a viable excuse to enable it.  sshd is probably 
already there, and should be used instead.
