Thanks to all that responded. Kai Grunau Was the one that was right on with
his information.
Maybe you disabled the telnet service on your workstation
----------
grep telnet /etc/inetd.conf
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/telnetd telnetd
Problem is that the was nothing in the inetd.conf file. The file was there
but there were no entries. I will have to look into why that is and proceed
from there.
Some of the other suggestion were.
Look to see if you have an /etc/nologin file. This is one of the things that
could cause this to happen.

I would check the name servers reverse lookup (and forward lookup)

I would try first to send the inetd process a SIGHUP:
Find the pid of inetd using ps:
ps aux | grep inetd | grep -v grep
kill -HUP pid
If that doesn't help, try:
/sbin/init.d/inetd stop
/sbin/init.d/inetd start
Make sure that you are connected to the machine directly (well I guess
you have to be :) ).
