Does anyone know of a way to transfer a socket from one login system to 
another?  Stated simply, if I were to set up an alternate process to 
handle telnet requests (like a MUD, MOO, talker, database, etc) on an 
alternate port, would it be possible to alter the standard login script 
and the alternate login program so that if a user accessed the regular 
port, he/she could type something for the user name and get his/her 
socket transferred to the other login program?

BTW, what's the limit on the number of telnetd sockets that can be open 
at once under NetBSD?

Just curious,
