I will not go over the question about running telnet in your

telnet is running using ps and netstat?
useless advise, since telnet is almost always run from a socket, the
telnetd is only running if there's an active connection.
to the OP, the *correct* answer is, do not use or touch xinetd, and if
you modified anything in xinetd, undo it. heck, uniinstall xinetd,
nothing in RHEL7/CentOS7 uses xinetd anymore.
root# systemctl enable telnet.socket
root# systemctl start telnet.socket
the first command enables it so its available when the system is rebooted.
the 2nd command starts it now.
now, I will have to concur, the telnet protocol should be banned, and
anything using it should be updated to use ssh instead. I haven't
enabled telnetd on any unix/linux host for the last 10+ years.
