Re: {bb} messages file full of same telnetd error from bigbro

[Charles Jones <jonescr@cisco.com>]

Why are you even running telnetd? If you don't need it for some legacy 
application support or something, I would do away with telnet and just 
use sshd. The errors are most probably caused by bigbro dropping the 
telnet connection un-gracefully. The ttloop error occurs because the 
telnet session was reset before the session could fully initialize.

I don't know offhand of an easy way to ignore/disable these warnings, 
other than hacking telnetd source, or bigbro itself. One sure fire way 
is to stop using insecure telnet ;-)
