[ale] telnetd dying

[ChrisF at computone.com (Chris Fowler)]

I have copied telnetd to a "embedded" system.?? Not really embedded but very small and somewhat robust.?? I have specified it in inetd as the following:


telnet?? stream?? tcp ?????? nowait?? root?????? /usr/sbin/telnetd???????????? /usr/sbin/telnetd



When I try to connect It seems to hang and I receive no login prompt.?? On inspection of the log files, I notice that inetd tries to execute telnetd with telnetd terminates with exit code of 0x1??? Is there a way I can debug this??? ldd reports that all libraries are existent on the fs but?? I believe if I use strace, I can find the problem.

Thanks,
Chris
