Howdy all,

    I must appologize, I asked this before (and was rightly scolded for not
including enough info) and then exam-time came around so I never continued
the thread.  So, I will ask again :).

    I cannot log ANY users into my RH6 system via telnet.  I can log these
users in via the console, but I cannot telnet to my own system (localhost)
and log them in.  I am also able to log users in via ftp.  This affects even
newly created users.

    When I attempt to log in, everything operates as normal...initially.  I
get a login prompt, and then a password prompt, and then it says "login
incorrect".  The only log entries this generates is something like : "inetd
: FAILED LOGIN from user dave"  It will also indidcate how many times I try.

    Obviously, I have done something to cause this but I cannot fathom what
that might be.  The only thing I did was install the iptraf utility, but I
did that several days before I stopped being able to log in.

Thanks for your help,

Dave
