by Sometimes. when receiving a telnet connection at my Linux box,
the following entries are created in my /var/log/messages file:
Mar 3 21:42:46 myHost telnetd[14112]: ttloop: peer died: Success
No entries are generated in my syslog when this happens (at
least not usually.) The call doesn't succeed. Now what the hell is
the meaning of the ttloop line? What event is triggering this logging
immediately after the connection is received? This doesn't happen
all the time, as I can get telnet connections from at least some remote
hosts all right (i.e. from those I have been able to test myself
directly.)
