take a look at inetd.conf...  it is most likely where they changed it...  
probablly just put a line like this in place of telnetd's line:
telnet  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/lynx lynx -anonymous

and played around with the lynx.cfg file to make sure that they can't do 
something bad...  hope this helps... TTYL...
