I'm trying to get telnet working the way I want it again.  When I
'telnet -K localhost' this process shows up:

root    13847  0.0  0.6   248  2952 ?     S     6:20PM  0:00.04 telnetd -a off -s -g net.default

You can see I'm passing the '-s' flag to telnetd, which according to
telnetd(8) will make telnet in turn pass the '-s' flag to login.  But
as soon as I type my username, this process shows up:

root     9955  0.0  0.5   136  2720 ttyq4 S<s+  6:20PM  0:00.03 login 

and login gladly accepts non-S/Key passwords.  I think this used to
work, but honestly I never used telnet much.  Anyone remember
otherwise or know what changed?  If it's a real change it may even
warrant a security advisory. :(
