Don't believe any of these are relevant to your stated problem.

Again, I don't think this is relevant to your stated problem.
try adding:
telnetd: whatever : ALLOW
Note the use of ':' - I have no idea whether the wrappers will
allow you to use '|'.
As a general matter, service: ALL : ALLOW is very bad if your
machine is connected to the internet. You really do want
your allow statements to be in the form:
service: exact list of machines or networks that should be allowed :ALLOW
Now then ... one last thing: DON'T USE TELENT AND RLOGIN - get out of
the habit of using them even on local networks. They are painfully bad
security holes. Learn to use ssh instead.
HTH,
