Subject:    [telnetd]: "Permission denied" with /bin/login

Hello all!

With no arguments, telnet works fine and I get a login on my machine. But 
when I give the telnetd the paramter "-L /bin/login" (in /etc/inetd.conf) for 
it to use the standard login program, I only get "login: permission denied".
I know /bin/login is pamified on Debian; but even commenting out everything 
in the pam service file for login (/etc/pam.d/login) didnīt change anything.
What should I do? Why is login denying access? Please help me.

TIA

P.S. This happens for root and non-root users.
It looks like the in.telnetd uses /usr/lib/telnetd/login as the default login 
program because when passing explicitely as the login program to the daemon 
(with "-L /usr/lib/telnetd/login") Iīm granted telnet access.
