Hi All,

I am using  busybox-1.12.4 on MIPS target.  I want to telnet from PC to 
board.

After starting telnetd on board and then while trying to connect to it 
from PC i get the following error.

*/telnet 10.47.5.49
//Trying 110.47.5.49
//Connected to 10.47.5.49
//Escape character is '^]'.
/*/*Connection closed by foreign host.*
/

I have enabled syslogd on board. Log says

"*kern.err telnetd: can't find free pty"
*
What might be the issue?

For your Information...

I have   /dev/ptmx on board.

My kernel Configuration is

 # CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS is not set
 CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS=y
 CONFIG_LEGACY_PTY_COUNT=256

My Busy Box Configuration is

CONFIG_FEATURE_DEVPTS=y

Expecting your help

Thanks
Rahanesh
