well, if /dev/tty# is shot because segfaulting (or otherwise
inaccessible), I wouldn't expect telnetd to help there any (unless
telnet uses a different pool of ttys).
Actually I would expect it to use a different "pool", but this is not a
subject I know more than a trifle about.
When I wrote, I hadn't yet learned that the problem that made me want to use
Telnet was known, and a patch already submitted, but not yet included in an
update available on the mirrors:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3339
IOW, current need is past, but I'd still like to know what's wrong and get it
fixed for a possible next time.
Would a serial console (i.e. /dev/ttyS0) suit your needs?
Probably not well, something yet else to configure that I haven't needed to
do in more than two decades, another cable to locate and connect, and likely
for a one time only use. Or can serial connection be shared over existing
ethernet?
