Here's the /etc/xinet.d/telnet3 file:

service telnet3

       disable = no
       port = 26
       socket_type = stream
       protocol = tcp
       user = dd
       group = bbs
       wait = no
       server = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
       server_args = -n -h -L /home/dd/ddlogin
}

Notice the "group = bbs" line. I believe that's why it's working now.
I don't know why, but it is working. It was only after that I adjusted this
file that it started working.

Thanks,
