Have you allowed telnet access for local use? Ie in /etc/hosts.allow do
you have the line
ALL: LOCAL
Secondly look at your log file in /var/log (the information you've given
isn't sufficient to tell why it's giving an incorrect login message).
I's also check that your loopback device is configured correctly by
running ifconfig as root. You should see something like :
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1
RX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
Hope this helps,
Matt.
