what did you need to do to get it to work?

you are probably running telnet on the real-servers under identd (look
in the HOWTO for further explanation). sendmail can call identd directly
but telnet is often run under tcp wrappers, which calls identd.
If this is the case then your inetd.conf
line will look like
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd
to run telnet without tcpwrappers change this to
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.telnetd in.telnetd
Having tcpwrappers does not add to your security. All it does is add a delay
to people telnetting that don't respond to identd requests.

I don't know what this means.

don't know. I'd suggest you look on the director for hosts.allow/deny type
things or routing problems
