[wplug] unable to telnet

[Jonathan S. Billings]

Just a little note, if you are using xinetd instead of inetd, to get it 
to reread it's config, instead of sending the HUP signal (inetd), you 
have to send the USR1 signal (xinetd).

Also, some people have mentioned adding a line to the /etc/inetd.conf.  
For xinetd, you need to put an entry into /etc/xinetd.d/<file>  or 
/etc/xinetd.conf.
