I experimented with my telnet/ftp problem some more,
here is what I got:

I can telnet to the server from the server itself using 
telnet localhost
telnet 127.0.0.1
AND
telnet REAL_IP_NUMBER
AND 
I can rlogin from all other machines  just fine (!).

Also, when I try to run telnetd as a separate daemon, I get:

/usr/libexec/telnetd: getpeername: Socket operation on non-socket.

(I commented out telnet in inetd.conf and reloaded before doing this).

I am stumped...

Thanks for your help.

A.Heiphetz
