Yes, it's telnetd. Replacing /usr/sbin/in.telnetd (telnetd_0.17-16_hppa.deb)
with a self-compiled one (from source netkit-telnet_0.16.orig.tar.gz with
potato patches) works for me. I modified Makefile in subdir telnetd to use
the correct login wrapper (the one from 0.17): 
   -DLOGIN_WRAPPER=\"/usr/lib/telnetlogin\"

HTH, Holger

P.S.: openssh works out of the box and is more secure
