Last week there was a CERT advisory warning us that there was a "vulnerability" with in.telnetd that could compromise security. I copied and installed the new version of in.telnetd as per their instructions and within the next 48 hours or so our Sun 4/280 crashed 4 or 5 times. The symptoms were always the same, with the Sun reporting that it was "out of ptys". I replaced the new version with the old version and we've had no problems since. Has anyone has similar difficulties with this new version of in.telnetd?
