-I was getting this to, quite recently.  It puzzled the heck out of me,
-since I'd installed fwtk before with no trouble.  However, I see you 
-have the same problem I did!  Try changing your inetd.conf line from:
-
- telnet stream tcp nowait root	/usr/local/etc/tn-gw
-to:
- telnet stream tcp nowait root	/usr/local/etc/tn-gw	tn-gw
-That did the trick for me!

The firsty of these inetd.conf lines runs tn-gw with an argc of zero!  The
second gives it an argc of 1 (as is normal).

Dynamic-linking systems often support the zero-arguments case as a way of
getting the runtime startup code to list the dynamic libraries that are
required.
