Are you using anything like busybox? Which telnet are you using. It's
killing me because I know I have run into this same problem. But I am old
and I forgot what I did. I had this problem about 3 years ago.. ugh.
To me it was something with securetty or the like. There is a config file
that allows telnet or not. Another thing to try is to load telnetd with
more options. I think there is "-a debug" you can turn on and that will
turn on the authentication debugging... "-D report" should also help you
out.
I had a problem like this with telnet on an older linux with busybox and
tiny login...
my problem had to do with making sure I had /dev/ptyX created...
so I just did:
cd /dev
MAKEDEV pty
not sure if that's your problem, but it's just something else to look into..
