| Could somebody please explain why I can't get into one of my systems?  I
| am getting a 'telnetd: All network ports in use.' message when I try to
| telnet to port 23, but other services are ok.  Tcp_wrappers is installed.

You usually need to install more ptys in your kernel config when you
see this message. I'm not sure what effect TCP_wrappers will have on
this, none I would imagine.

If you already build a kernel with a lot of ptys, did you MAKEDEV
them in /dev ?

You will only be able to get in once either

a) Someone logs off (or closes an xterm)
b) You go to the console
