Telnetd not working

[Jakob Engblom]

I am using the latest version of Busybox, trying to build a small networked
embedded system (based on an MPC8641D, but that is immaterial).  I have
included the telnetd part of busybox, but cannot successfully connect to my
system over the network. Neither from the local system or from a remote
system.

In both cases, telnetd runs, and according to netstat does enter into some
form of communication (it has a communications channel open from port 23 to
some port on the client).  But the telnet client reports "connection closed
by foreign host" every time I try to connect.

Any idea of what I am doing wrong here? Any known issues with getting
telnetd to work? It is compiled to work without inetd, so that should not be
the issue.

Best regards,

/jakob
