I seem to recall patches like this that were kicking around a long time
ago... except that they also allowed telnetd to run on a unix domain socket
and allowed a different program to be run on them.  eg: run something else
other than login(1).  This was kind of bizzare but it allowed you to run
controlled portals outside of chroot jails (as they existed years ago). I
actually got to use them about 6 years ago on FreeBSD 2.2 and antique
SVR4/386 systems.

Cheers,
