Just a reminder - in this day and age - telnet is not recommended for
remote access, be it in a LAN or accessing sites from the Internet. Avoid.

Are you running the telnet or ssh server from your machines? It seems that
you only have the clients configured. Are you denying access to your
machines via the host_access modifiers (/etc/hosts.{allow,deny})?
