The user and group telnetd exist, and telnetd belongs to the utmp group.
Is there something else that needs to be set? There doesn't seem to be
any mention of this in the telnetd manpage, nor is there any other
documentation.
Any ideas? Thanks!
The problem is that the new telnetd requires you to have Unix98 ptys or it
won't work as you've observed. Tradition ptys must be operated as root.

Re: telnetd can't get ttys
identd would not reply to requests for ident. happened i believe after i
upgraded from hamm to slink. i believe slink by default set ident to user
nobody, and identd didnt work, i tried several different ident daemons and
all were the same, did not work..till i changed the user to root (had the
same problem on about 5 machines after doing an upgrade to slink). i
think i posted to the list about this when i had the problem(~6-8 months
ago)
yeah..found it in the archives

from the message then the error i was getting was:
in.identd: getpeername(): Socket operation on non-socket
changing the user from nobody to root solved the problem.

Please see if you can still reproduce the same problem with
the version in potato (from pidentd).
