telnetd errors

[greenNine]

I'd be very grateful if someone could explain what the following errors actually mean? They are from the authlog on DYNIX/ptx V4.4.8:

May 7 07:39:57 numa4 telnetd[4040]: Initial option ioctl failed :22
May 7 07:39:57 numa4 telnetd[4040]: named terminal open failed

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

Seth, hi.

Do any of the permissions on your pty files (/dev/pty/* I think) look funny? Mike
