    I checked the hosts.allow and host.deny.
    Hosts.allow
    # See tcpd(8) and hosts_access(5) for a description.
    #ALL EXCEPT in.fingerd, in.identd : ALL : spawn (safe_finger -l @%h 2>&1 | \
    # /bin/mail -s "%d-%h %u" root) &

    I tried uncommenting - still "login incorrect"
    Also added the IP from which I was telneting - still "login incorrect"

    Hosts.deny
    # See tcpd(8) and hosts_access(5) for a description.
    http - rman : ALL EXCEPT LOCAL

    Tired commenting this - still "login incorrect"

    I also followed another suggestion to check /etc/shells to see if passwd
    shell was there. It was there.

    The other suggestion I got was to see if PAM was running - not sure what it
    is.

    Any other suggestions?

    After the install I had to setup inetd to start on startup b/c it was not by
    default. Think I did a workstation install.

    Thanks
    Alex

    No, you get the same error. It's always better to show as little
    information as possible to the 'ouside'.

    Perhaps you should check the /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files
    ?
