Yes, but you have one IP address for the console and another for "normal"
(this is my real server IP address) telnet no?

As someone else suggested, I was trying to log in (via the non-console IP

logging in as SYSTEM turned the message off. Simply an observation and no
inkling as to the science behind it all.
