This is a hacked version of GNU's inetd-1.4.0 telnet, hacked to support running it under AIX. You might ask, 'why would I want to do such a thing'? Well, combined with tcpserver, this allows you to run a nonstandard login (such as a shell, or a database engine), which the stock AIX telnet daemon doesn't do.

I borrowed some code from Gnome, and the rest from GNU telnetd, and did a minimal amount of gluing them togeather. I apologize if I've forgotten some license files I should have - email me and tell me what they are and I'll include them.
