i would *highly* recommend not using telnet. passwords are passed in
plain text and are easy to sniff out. i would recommend getting SSH. and
btw, if you do get SSH, configure with `./configure --lib-wrap` to use the
tcp wrappers so SSH will use /etc/hosts.allow and hosts.deny. otherwise
it will use it's own /etc/sshd_config file which just becomes one more
file you have to remember to update.

my guess is that on the mandrake box, on tty1&2 you were logged in, while
one the caldera box, you weren't logged in. was that the case?
