"linux3" is running "in.telnetd" because it accepts connections from all
other machines. I also checked "/etc/inetd.conf" and did not found
obvious problems. After reading the NET-2-HOWTO, I suspected the
problem might have something to do with PC/TCP, so I recompiled the
kernel but am still having the same problem. Any other thoughts?
