<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier">/usr/sbin/in.telnetd -debug &</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">which then for a brief period of time will let me establish a telnet session as a non root user. If I wait too long, I can't connect.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">On one of the machines, I get a dialogue like the following:</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier">/usr/sbin/in.telnetd -debug &</FONT>
