Pardon me if I scoff a bit... NetBSD telnet source can be found on ftp.iastate.edu in the /pub/netbsd/NetBSD-current/src/src/usr.bin/telnet/ directory. Telnetd would be in the .../libexec/telnetd/ directory. But remember, just as easily as you can get a copy and built it yourself, so can your users. This sounds like a (bad) technological band-aid for a social problem. If someone doesn't like your restricted telnet, there's nothing to stop them from building their own copy and using it instead. Just my two bits... -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Michael L.
