Hey There,

Off the top of my head it sounds like an error in /etc/inetd.conf or, more likely, a problem with /usr/sbin/in.telnetd

Can you grep telnet from /etc/inetd.conf and do an "ls -l" on /usr/sbin/in.telnetd -- it should have permissions of 4755 by default (or, at least, setuid root since it operates on a low port)

Looking forward to hearing back from you. Hopefully you don't just have a billion pty's open ;) j.k.
