I know exactly what you meant, and I said - telnetd has no startup script.
the daemon is luanched automatically from inetd (try looking at
/etc/inetd.conf)

#telnet stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.telnetd
[shimi@www shimi]$ locate in.telnetd
/usr/man/man8/in.telnetd.8
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd
[shimi@www shimi]$ ls -l /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        35628 Aug 18  1999 /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
[shimi@www shimi]$ 

is that a script? :)

coz the first lines look like this:
   UW PICO(tm) 4.0                     File: /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
