Solved it. It was because of a uClibC configuration option that I had incorrectly selected: "Add unresolved libgcc symbols to uClibc" I de-selected this, recompiled the uClibc library, re-compiled the utelnetd daemon put it on my file system and hey presto the error disappeared.....
I'm now on to my next problem. When I try to telnet to the target I get the following messages returned:
Machine that I am telnetting from:
telnet xxx.xxx.xx.xx Trying xxx.xxx.xx.xx... Connected to xxx.xxx.xx.xx. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host.
Target machine: telnetd: starting port: 23; interface: any; login program: /bin/login
# All network ports in use!
I've read lots of solutions to this type of problem but I can't seem to make any of them fit!!!
I've tried doing an mknod of the form 'mknod ptyp0 c 2 0'. But I'm at the limit of my knowledge here!!!!
ANY ideas??
Thanks
