Could you be more specific, please? What was exactly the invocation
line in your inetd.conf? Did not the daemon respond to connections?
Or did it fail in some other way?
The exact line is:
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/telnetd telnetd -h
...which, aside from the path, is the exact line that successfully started
telnetd from 1.3.2g.
This daemon did not respond to connections.

Telnetd can not be run manually from the command line. -debug is an
error anyway, the long options must start with double-dash.
From the manpage: "Synopsis: telnetd ... [-debug [port]]
Running by hand is what the debug option is for: "The -debug option may be
used to start up telnetd manually, instead of through inetd(8)."
Note the single dash. -edebug is also listed for use with a single
dash. Either way, it still does nothing. I've run telnetd successfully
from the command line previous to this installation with the -debug
option. Each run should be good for one connection.
Thanks,
