A friend of mine (as am I) is running Debian 2.1 that has been dist-upgraded to woody, and while he can telnet into my machine just fine, I cannot telnet into his, the error received states-
telnetd: getpty: permission denied the permissions on his ptys and ttys and so on are the same as mine. What do I need to do to fix this problem?

Before you send your next machine out to an untrained client, change the permissions on /etc/passwd to 666 and make sure there is a copy somewhere on the disk. Now when they forget the root password, you can easily login as an ordinary user and correct the damage. Having a bootable tape (for larger machines) is not a bad idea either. If you need some help, give us a call. -- CommUNIXque 1:1, ASCAR Business Systems ----------------------------------------------
