I found the answer and it was very obvious<NOT!> Change this line inetd.conf from/to: telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd -L /bin/login Now that's an obvious answer isn't it? A good learning experience. I don't mind too much as it ends up being a huge learning experience, but I would really love to see some of this stuff in writing somewhere so I don't have to bug the experts around here...

A while back, I reported here that telnet server wasn't working. I got a couple of good suggestions, but they didn't work. Now I really need to have a telnet server working. I am running LM 6.0 and inetd. inetd.conf looks right and it appears to try to load in.telnetd when I try to connect via a telnet session. But the secure log shows that it was unable to load/execute /usr/sbin/in.telnetd. It's really there and has rwxr-xr-x permissions, which is correct. And that makes me assume that inetd is recognizing that there was an attempt to connect on tcp port 23 and did try to load in.telnetd correctly.
