I've got a problem at work that's hurting my head... I have found a single
mention of it through google, but no solutions, perhaps I'm not searching
for the right thing. SSH is not an option, sorry. :)

Box is Redhat6.1, recently had an FTP security patch installed.
Telneting from some IP addresses works, but not others.
hosts.allow is set up correctly and works fine with FTP.
This used to work fine, but I'm not sure exactly when it stopped working.


Symptom: No login prompt (telnet hangs)

/home/user> telnet 203.47.39.xx
Trying 203.47.39.xx...
Connected to 203.47.39.xx.
Escape character is '^]'.

Red Hat Linux release 6.1 (Cartman)
Kernel 2.2.12-20smp on an i686          
_


Cause:
'login' process spawned by telnetd dies and sits there as a zombie.


Solution:?
Help! :)
