telnetd error

[Bill McBride_2]

getting this telnetd error in syslog:

telnetd;3487]: I_PLINK_DEV ioctl failed: Invalid arguement.
I can telnet out of the box but not into it.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

The resolution is same as suggested by Robert & sanjay. But checkout the number of pty's configured & the number of users logging into the server, else, you will get "no such device" error in future if actual number of users exceed.
