Weird. You can communicate out, and others can ping in. What exactly did you
do to telnet or ftp at the console, telnet localhost, or something like
that? Are you root when you do this? If so, maybe try doing it when you're
not root.

Another thing, you might need to make more pty's. By default, there are only
four. cd /dev. MAKEDEV pty0 (I think; look at the script and see what
generates the first blob of pty's). Another symptom of this problem is that
dt only runs at most 4 screens; you can tell it to use more, but
they don't get to run a shell. :-(

Take care,
