Sure... however insecure it may be....
you can replace the
ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure
in /etc/ttys with
ttyd1 "/usr/bin/telnet {othermachine}" unknown on secure
They _WILL_ see a login from the other machine... and the security
implications of using a rsh to accomplish this as init runs as root are tooo
scary.
