I had a problem:

   ...... Deleted a bunch .....

Solution: Modify /etc/inetd.conf so that inetd spawns off /usr/etc/telnetd
instead of /usr/etc/telnetd.gw.  Just swapped the comment characters.

Why does telnetd.gw do that ..... Another mystery of life ......

Many thanks go to Roland J. Schemers III of Oakland University in
