Folks,

Can anyone give me a general pointer to where in telnetd the user
is authenticated (assuming normal authentication is being used)?  I'm 
looking at the code in /usr/src/libexec/telnetd

Maybe I should ask the meta question:  I've got a box which can normally
only accessed via ssh.  I want to allow telnet access to a specific
account (for providing network status).  The only way I can think of
to accomplish this is to hack the telnet daemon to permit only this one
user.  Are there any alternatives?

Thanks very much,
mb
