The version you sent has lots of random asterisks and line breaks and stuff making it hard to follow, but it looks like you've got two entries for "klogin", one using the Kerberos server and one using /usr/sbin/in.rlogind.  If inetd is choosing the latter, that might explain the error.

But these days, really, using ssh with GSSAPI support is probably better than Kerberos rlogin on telnet for any number of reasons.
