Yes, that that is another part of the puzzle as both the /etc/securetty
and the /etc/xinetd.d/telnet files are identical in both root filesystems.
So, there must be some ither file somewhere keeping me from cooking my toast
with a telnet login to the 8541.



Seems to me thing you can do is find out why the telnet session is being
rejected.  Have you done an ethernet capture?

Do you have any firewalling setup?  In that case you need to make sure your
rules are setup properly.  The ethernet capture should give you a clue.

Are you sure the telnetd can be found on your system that doesn't work?
What do the logs tell you on the machine that doesn't work?  I think xinetd
kicks out a log file, what does that tell you?

Have you tried on the 8541,  login to the terminal and then telnet to
localhost?  If you can do that, then I'd say it's a firewalling problem, if
not, then it's a telnetd type of problem.


Hope that helps.
