Pty problem in RawHide

[Kevin Hendrickson]

I can't telnet into my SuperMac S900, newly installed with RawHide 1.3.4
from ftp.linuxppc.org on Friday April 23rd. At first all connections where
simply refused (telnet, finger, etc), but I traced this down to inetd.conf
having ALL services commented out by default (why?) Anyway now I get
"telnetd: All network ports in use"! Even when telneting to 127.0.0.1 from
the console. Also attempts to run xterm fail with "xterm: no available
ptys"! 
 
Am I missing another configuration file somewhere? I've checked /dev and
there are plenty of ptyXYs in there. I've built my own telnetd from the
src.rpm and it seems that openpty() always returns -1. Anyone else having
this problem? I really don't want to start hacking glibc to see what is
going on. 

Until this week, I had been using an earlier RawHide from ftp.linuxppc.org
and telnetting was a non-issue (as it should be :-))
