The only way I can get it to work is to start inet -d from the bash prompt. Any explanations?

I have also gone through the archives of the mailing list (well at least July, August and September). I have followed the steps that were outlined in Jerome Gay's post on Wed, 13 Aug 1997 and made the changes as necessary to my account so I can run it from a shell (I also have it configured as a service using srvany). When I try to telnet to my box (either from another box or even my box) I get: PROMPT> telnet mybox Trying XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX... Connected to mybox.network.com. Escape character is '^]'. telnetd: All network ports in use. Connection closed by foreign host. What is the problem with "All network ports in use". I tried to use the system account, but when the login.exe executed it met with many exception errors and died (probably because the environment wasn't set up for that account...I would rather run under my account if possible). Any help would be appreciated.
