[Buildroot] Can't get inetd/busybox-telnetd to work

[Grant Edwards]

I've been trying to get inetd and busybox's telnetd to work, but I'm
stumped.

Here's my inetd.conf file:

telnet stream  tcp  nowait root /usr/sbin/telnetd  /usr/sbin/telnetd

When I telnet to my board, this is what happens:

  $ telnet 10.0.0.99 
  Trying 10.0.0.99...
  Connected to 10.0.0.99.
  Escape character is '^]'.
  buildroot login: root
  Login incorrect

I can't figure out why the login is "incorrect".  The root user
doesn't have a password.

Telnetd and login are both from busybox 1.16.

When I run inetd in the foreground and tell it to log to stderr it's
completely mute.
 
What tricks are there to get busybox's inetd/telnetd/login to work?

Doh!

I forgot to disable support for /etc/securetty (and pts/N wasn't in
/etc/securetty).

If you don't need login you can start telnetd this way:
/usb/sbin/telnet -l /bin/sh
You should be able to connect without login prompt.
