Actually, RedHat switched to xinetd back in 7.0. I can only hope that
was a typo. :)
Also, chkconfig can be used to enable/disable xinetd services, too:
# chkconfig telnet on
You don't need (get) to specify a runlevel, as it'll apply to any
runlevels xinetd is activated in.

P.S.: `ntsysv` is a nice feature, but it only applies the changes to the
current runlevel. If you change runlevels, the services you shut off
before will pop back up. Bad mojo. Use `chkconfig` instead.
