I am trying to tweak the 5.0.6 tcp/ip-enabled root/boot disks to allow
inbound telnet connections. I have managed to get out-bound to work
fine. I got telnetd -debug to run on port 23, the server answers and
I get a login prompt (once I copied /bin/login), but every attempt to
log in gives me the following error: "missing target protected
password information". It never asks for the password and the
connection is closed upon entering the username. The /etc/passwd
file is an exact copy of the one on the system that I created the
boot/root disks on. I copied /etc/shadow and /tcb/files/auth/r/root
from the same system, but it does not make a difference.

What other files are necessary to make this work on the 5.0.6
boot/root set?
