Which debian? testing?? I had a similar problem with testing, it was due to a buggy telnetlogin program segfaulting: run /usr/lib/telnetlogin and see if it segfaults.. then you'll know. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=telnetd It is listed as resolved, but I don't think the fixed package has made it into the apt distribution system yet, as I had to upgrade it by hand (the horror! :) ).
