Follow-up: Apparently the kernel needs "legacy PTY support" turned on to get
telnet to work under Debian. A word of caution: in later kernels you can
specify a number of pty's to create. The default of 256 is seriously overkill
and more than doubles the boot time.
But here's more weirdness: Telnet support under Debian is via inetd. Under
Busybox, it's got a separate thing. Under Busybox, enabling telnet support
under inetd doesn't work at all. But if you're using the Busybox telnetd
utility, it only wants to log in as root. It seems to ignore the -l argument.
Now, as for FTP, there's some weird permission thing or something like that
going on because if I log in as a non-root user, I can't see files that have a
777 permission. But I can upload files...which if I reboot and FTP I can't
see. GAH!!!!
