Telnetd Fails - Telnetd - Slave failed to initialize

[sirius2525@gmail.com]

I've compiled MIT kerberos 1.4.2 on Debian Linux. I've configured
inetd.conf to use the kerberized telnetd

I'm able to get a ticket but if I tried and connect with a kerberized
telnet client I get the following:

telnetd: Failed to chown slave side of pty: Operation not permitted
.
telnetd: Slave failed to initialize.


Your connection has been terminated

Any ideas what I can look at to resolve this.

Thx
