The more relevant point is that as shipped now, super-secure
NetBSD has no telnet (or rlogin, or ...) servers running on it.
That means that, other than privports, there's no way to stop
any random user running a "pretend" telnet server on an out of
the box NetBSD system.   Of course, we do have privports, so
it is all more or less OK...   ie: privports aren't useless.
