If your system is connected to the internet you may want to let users login
using telnet. The changes you need to make are different for each operating
system mbse supports.
I will only describe how to use it from inetd, not xinetd.

<H3>How to use from xinetd.</H3>
<P>
This is how to use xinetd, Read the section above also.
Here is a tested setups:
This has to be done as root. You have to create a service under /etc/xinetd.d
named telnet if you dont have it yet installed, if it is already installed just
modify the server_args line to match this:
<pre>
server_args = -L /opt/mbse/bin/mblogin
</pre>
Your /etc/xinetd.d/telnet file should look something like this:
<pre>
service telnet
{
flags = REUSE
log_on_failure += USERID
socket_type = stream
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/telnetd
server_args = -L /opt/mbse/bin/mblogin
wait = no
}
</pre>
This will replace the standard login program on xinetd systems to the mblogin
program, so that next time someone logs into your bbs they will be presented the
issue file on /opt/mbse/etc file and the login prompt for the BBS instead of the
standard login prompt.
