(Presumably you started KA9Q with an appropriate config.)

Did you run telnetd as root? Root privs are needed by _PATH_LOGIN to forge
the appropriate UID's to let you log in as yourself. But that should happen
after you enter a username.

The single letter ones are used for testing /inet. Proxyd is for doing
network transparent VSTa messaging--it's experimental. You shouldn't need
anything from down in ka9q/cmd except telnetd.

You might try attaching to telnetd with gdb right before you telnet into the
box, and see if anybody's dying on a signal or something.
