problem with telnet

I am trying to telnet into a QNX 4.23 machine.
I get the following:
Trying 192.168.0.10…
Connected to 192.168.9.10.
Escape character is ‘^]’.
telnetd: /bin/login: No such file or directory
.
Connection closed by foreign host.

On the target machine there is a ‘/bin/login’ with
permissions: -rwsrwxr-x root root

I can go to the target machine and login. I can run
/bin/login from the shell.

I can ftp to the machine successfully.

Any ideas on what I should be looking to fix?

Check that Dev.pty is running and that there are free ptys.

It is running and no one is using any ptys.
I run the following in my sysinit:

Dev -n 100 &
… other stuff …
sleep 3
Dev.pty -n16 &

I checked with ps to make sure Dev.pty was running before
trying the telnet.

Any other ideas?

I’ve seen this with low memory. It’s a shot in the dark but I’ve seen it.

Is inetd running?

Is it configured to start telnet?
