I was the guy trying to open up a way to telnet to port 8080 on one of my
machines to get around an overly protective firewall at my comrade's place of
business.

The synopsis:  It's pretty easy, provided you want it open all the time.  Just
add the following to /etc/services:

	goomba		8080/tcp	# Special firewall login spigot
	goomba		8080/udp

and this to /etc/inetd.conf

	goomba	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/libexec/telnetd	telnetd

That, and then a

	$ kill -1 (pid of inetd)

did the trick.

Of course, this is another hole in one's security; I really should be running
something more secure on this instead of telnetd, but this will work for the
short term.

Special thanks to Christopher Michaels and Doug White for their help.
