I am seeing one interesting twist that Ed didn't mention. If I start the telnet server on my F18 box with something like "server_args = -D report", I can login locally. If I try to log in from a different box, I get a "no route to host" message which is bogus since I can ping the F18 system or ssh to it. I messed with hosts.allow and hosts.deny but didn't see any change.
I don't see that. And, since you said iptables is stopped (I also tested that way), it is completely bogus.
Maybe the problem isn't in telnetd but in tcp wrappers instead.
A possibility. Not as easy to verify.....
