Edit: Fixed the problem by moving the code from rcS2 to rcS. Telnet works now. I'll leave my original post below.

Thank you, great work. Been using Linux for 5+ years, but I'm not that great. I've tried your tutorial for getting FTP and telnet working. FTP works great but not telnet.

Edited file contents:

Spoiler:

/etc/init.d/rcS2

#!/bin/sh
mkdir -p /dev/pts
mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts

/etc/inetd.conf

# <service_name> <sock_type> <proto> <flags> <user> <server_path> <args>
# ftp	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/sbin/tcpd		in.ftpd
# telnet	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/sbin/telnetd	telnetd -l /bin/login
21 stream tcp nowait root /bin/busybox ftpd -w -S  /
23 stream tcp nowait root /bin/busybox telnetd -i

/etc/inittab

# This is run first except when booting in single-user mode.
::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttymxc0 115200 vt100
::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot
::shutdown:/bin/umount -a -r
::restart:/sbin/init
::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS2
::respawn:/usr/sbin/inetd -f /etc/inetd.conf

Using the run.sh I first copied the files I was gonna edit just to be safe. There's some comments in inetd.conf, but I just used your lines for those.

So ftp works great but no telnet ...

Output of ftp and telnet where just ftp works:

Trying 192.168.0.158...
Connected to 192.168.0.158.

Connection closed by foreign host.

So it seems to be connecting then closing right away. I'm gonna try some things to get it working but I'm not great with telnet so if anyone has any help that would be great.

Note busybox seems to be changed in the latest update kobo3-upgrade-1.9.10.zip KoboRoot.tgz.
Note /dev/pty doesn't exist. only block char input are in /dev. Is rcS2 not getting executed? Gonna try putting the code from rcS2 in rcS.

Thank you very much, great work. <3
