Are you using the telnet daemon on the computer for other
purposes? You could make the telnet daemon use another
program instead of /bin/login. Just add
server_args = -L /path/to/your/executable
in the file /etc/xinetd.d/telnet, you could also make
another copy of the file and use another port if you do
want telnet to work as usual.
