hmm...well, still no resolution to my telnetd problem. A suggestion to check to make sure that Unix98 ptys are enabled and mounted, and they were...so that solution is no more.
And since PAM got updated, my netatalk and wu-ftpd had both broken and refuse to let me log in properly. After checking my log files, aparently my system decided that through these two daemons my password was expired, but didn't return anything other than "login failed" on the client side, and no messages reading "root enforced -- you must change your password now" showed up anywhere other than my daemon.log file. I changed my password, and all is well now...no idea why it happened in the first place. And, me being stupid, I promptly deleted all references to console-apt. What's the link to that again? -Jeremiah Merkl
