Perhaps I should have been more specific in my original message. I
actually don't even get the login prompt at all...when I telnet in the
machine will disconnect me immediately. It is not a networking problem
since I do connect initially.

This is what happens:

$telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
$

And similarly with a telnet from a remote site (but obviously it uses a
real ip number then). As I stated I have checked all the inetd.conf
settings and the hosts.access and deny files. I am pretty certain it is
not tcpd since I tried setting inetd to call telnet directly rather than
through tcpd.

The wierd thing is that this is the way that it installed. I am wondering
if the new distributions do this as default and ho to fix it or perhaps I
need to reinstall something...perhaps getty? Does that make any sense? I
didnn't havce any errors upon installing it.

Anyway thanks to all useful advice, I am certainly mystified. :)
