Telnetd Problem

Hello,

I'm having a problem getting telnetd to work. The system is an ARM-based 
Cirrus EDB9301 development board. I'm using busybox 1.01.

It seems that I can't start telnetd from inetd. Telnetd can be started 
manually, and works as expected. When the telnet line in /etc/inetd.conf 
is uncommented and you try to start a telnet session, you get the message:

telnet: bind: Address already in use

I've tried this with the "Networking Utilities --> Support call from 
inetd only" box checked and unchecked.

It would seem that telnetd is unable to bind an address that inetd is using?

Is it possible to run telnetd from inetd exclusively from busybox?

Thanks,

Bob Wirka
