This is causing a bunch of telnetd daemons to start, and they never die. So the number of telnetd daemons grow until running on of ptys. Short of blocking telnetd access, is there anything than can be done about this? There are dozens of telnetd daemons open, and no active port 23 traffic. Why won't they die? This started happening after upgrading to 4.3-Stable, CVSupp'd about 10am today. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
