Hi,
I'm trying to add Telnet access to my Glo, but for some reason it doesn't work. inetd starts, ftp server works perfectly, but telnet just closes connection immediately after trying to connect.

This is what I've done:
.kobo/koboplugins.ini

Code:

Telnet On=Plugin::executeSystemCmd("/bin/sh /mnt/onboard/.kobo/telnet.sh")

Using the 14/11/2012 version of kobo plugin (great stuff, thanks!) to make this button work.

.kobo/telnet.sh

Code:

#!/bin/sh
mkdir -p /dev/pts
mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
/usr/sbin/inetd /mnt/onboard/.kobo/inetd.conf

.kobo/inetd.conf

Code:

21 stream tcp nowait root /bin/busybox ftpd -w -S  /
23 stream tcp nowait root /bin/busybox telnetd -i

So, what can possibly make ftp work but not telnet? What's the best way to debug this?

Thanks ~
