The solution will be depend upon the problem, so you nead to find out
the reason first. Figure out where the login is failing, by:
- Checking your log files, and/or
- "strace"ing the "in.telnetd" process ("strace -p <pid>", before
typing the username).
Likely reasonas are that in.telnetd is either:
- failing to identify the user, or
- failing to execute the "login" program
