to enable telnet uncomment the line starting with "telnet"
from inetd.conf - please put your ttys file back to normal!

run these two commands

                /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh_host_key -N ''
                /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -d -f /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key -N ''

and add sshd to your system startup to enable ssh

watch my unconfigured system take shape
