because telnet is usualy remote acess and login referes to thing
getty(or something like it) spawns for you when loging localy...

What are dependences between name of files in /etc/pam.d and services
in /etc/services ?

None, /etc/services is used for logical link between port numbers and
names. ie
$telnet localhost ssh

won't work unless ssh is listed in services

and pam.d is directory where configurations for each of the services
using pam are stored. ie /etc/pam.d/ssh contains rules how the ssh will
handle authorization, meaning what will be necessary for the login
procedure, where are passwords stored, which users may access the
service and similar stuff.
