Your problem has little to do with masq, and everything to do with your
/etc/services. The problem is that you changed "telnet" to 4006. Both
the "inetd" and "telnet" programs make use of that service name.
The better approach to this is to create a new service, say, "mytelnet",
in your /etc/services file, and leave the regular telnet service at 23.
Then, in your /etc/inetd.conf, where it listens for the "telnet"
service, have it listen for "mytelnet" instead. This will solve the
problem very easily. :)
