Telnet not working

[Popy]

I have a strange problem on my hpux 11.23 box. Telnet is notworking at all.

Telnet deamon is not running.
I verified /etc/inetd.conf with a working server and looks fine.
poer 23 is listening
ssh and ftp are working


telnet
Trying...
Connected to xxxx.yyy.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

looks like telnet is running but does not alow a conection can you conect to the server and run:
grep telnet /etc/inetd.conf
inetd -c
telnet 0

tail -25 /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

and than post the screen output here....
