Jairo,

Do a search on "telnet problems pts". You can see there are many problems. Look at these threads:

These should shed some light on the problem.

Have a great HP day!

Someone has trashed your /dev/pts directory (they would have to be root to do this). Remove *any* directory inside /dev/pts, then run insf -e to replace the missing device files.

Then, change the root password and cut the persons fingers off who has fat finger syndrome.

If it's just telm and tels gotten messed up (these are the telnetd devices), then you would ..
# cd /dev/pts
# rmsf t*
# rmsf /dev/telnetm
# cd /
# insf -d telm
# ll /dev/telnetm
Afterwards check /dev/telnetm and /dev/pts/ta. They should be created with the current timestamp.
