      Greetings,

    I'm not a big ssh config mangler, the answer may even be quite simple.

    I'd like to provide ssh access to a program that is working now with
    telnet. it has it's own authentication system. Consequently I use it
    with the telnetd's -L option, it works as a login script.

    Is there a way to achieve the same functionality with ssh ? I'd like to
    drop telnetd entirely => ssh tunnel to localhost telnet port is not
    really good. (And I also loose the source information).

    Any help or pointer is welcome :)

    Bye
    Bgs
