The server (daemon) package is telnet-server. The contents of the RC?.d directories are usually soft links to a directory of startup scripts (in RedHat 7+ it's /etc/init.d). Generally, you can start and stop services by running the script in /etc/init.d with a command line argument of "start", "stop", "restart", and frequently "condrestart". Many also support "status" and "reload". If you run them without an argument, most will echo a usage statement that tell you the actions they recognize.
