      This way is incorrect in two aspects. First, you'll have to compile libtelnet
    first:

    cd /usr/src/lib/libtelnet
    make obj && make depend && make
    cd /usr/src/usr.bin/telnet
    make obj && make depend && make && make install

    But second is that you'll get telnet w/o data encryption support, which isn't
    what you want (unless you have NOCRYPT=true in your /etc/make.conf).
    You can recompile telnet properly (in the typical case: no NOCRYPT and
    no MAKE_KERBEROS[45] either) using the following commands:

    cd /usr/src/secure/lib/libtelnet
    make obj && make depend && make
    cd /usr/src/secure/usr.bin/telnet
    make obj && make depend && make && make install

    However, I can overlook something more, so I'm giving no warranties at all...

    Sincerely, Dmitry
