The following message comes up every time someone makes an inetd type
connection to my box (ftp, telnet, popper, etc.) and I don't know why, or
how to stop it.  Help would be appreciated.

Nov 28 10:53:25 duey inetd[20538]: login_getclass: unknown class 'root'


This is fairly annoying as it makes the console unusable.  How do I fix
this?

Thanks
Bill Sandiford
