Right, telnetd sessions don't use getty.  _But_ telnetd
still reads the "im" and "if" strings from the "default"
entry in /etc/gettytab.  See the source.

But the strange thing is, it still doesn't work.  I have
no idea why.

PS:  This is from src/libexec/telnetd/telnetd.c, about
line 1100:

        if (getent(defent, "default") == 1) {
                char *Getstr();
                char *cp=defstrs;

                HE = Getstr("he", &cp);
                HN = Getstr("hn", &cp);
                IM = Getstr("im", &cp);
                IF = Getstr("if", &cp);
                if (HN && *HN)
                        (void) strcpy(host_name, HN);
                if (IF && (if_fd = open(IF, O_RDONLY, 000)) != -1)
                        IM = 0;
                if (IM == 0)
                        IM = "";
        } else {
                IM = DEFAULT_IM;
                HE = 0;
        }
        edithost(HE, host_name);
        if (hostinfo && *IM)
                putf(IM, ptyibuf2);
        else if (IF && if_fd != -1) {
                fstat (if_fd, &statbuf);
                if_buf = (char *) mmap (0, statbuf.st_size, PROT_READ, 
                    0, if_fd, 0);
