If you run a `ps ax | grep -E "ftp|telnet"` do you see any entries,
which might indicate that you already have ftpd or telnetd running?
Or you might want run a `sockstat -4l` and see what TCP ports your
machine is listening on.  Sounds like inetd is trying to open a listener
on the appropriate TCP ports (21,23), but can't because it's already in
use.
