Problem:

Logging in from the console virtual terminals (Alt-F1, etc) works fine.
But logging in from other hosts on the LAN *or* telnetting from
the console to the same host results in the message 'Connection refused'.

There is no /etc/nologin, hosts.deny and hosts.allow are the same as for
another host on the LAN which does allow logins. What's the problem?

This is on Debian 1.3.
