Yes, your distribution files like glibc, telnetd, etc.  Looking at the
help text for CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS, you need glibc 2.1 or later for
Unix98 ptys.  If earlier than that, it is probably looking legacy ptys.

I guess you are using busybox telnetd, which can be configured to use
Unix98 ptys.  Do you have /dev/ptmx?

But you know you should be using ssh, right?  Google for dropbear...

Regards, ........ Charlie

 are talking about? Yes, I looked into the kernel config and the BSD
legacy ptys were not set.
