How did you it install it?

Why not use sshd?

I tried it with debian 4.0:
package "harden" etc.  was removed, but after a
#apitude reinstall telnetd
telnetd it works.
So a problem of ubuntu or the kernel?

colinux:~# uname -a
Linux colinux 2.6.22-co-0.8.0 #1 PREEMPT Wed Sep 12 11:35:56 CEST 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

If not:
googel says after asking for "telnetd: getpty: No such file or directory":

http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/pipermail/linux-arm/2004-July/008045.html

 I got this error message in the past and it turned out to be a missing
 file, /usr/libexec/pt_chown, which comes with glibc. Simply install it
 on your target. 
 Enabling pty support in the kernel might also be useful.




colinux:~# ll /dev/pts/0
crw------- 1 root tty 136, 0 2007-10-09 19:52 /dev/pts/0


and did i already mention:
[You shouldn't be using telnetd]
