Howdy Netlanders.  I have a problem whereby I can telnet to other machines
quite happily but I can't telnet from other machines to mine.  The
platform is a Sun 4/260 running SunOS 4.0.3.  /etc/services and
/etc/inetd.conf look alright, but I cant think of what else might cause
problems.  in.telnetd does start up on the 4/260 when you telnet to it,
and you get the usual "connected to .." stuff, but it does not come up
with a login prompt..  Any ideas??

Regards,
Grant Collins
