"rlogind" prints no initial greeting message of any sort; it sort of
starts things running in the middle of "login", at the point where
"login" prompts for the password.

Nope, older versions of the "telnet" daemon can't be told about
"gettytab" entries or "im" capabilities.  I think the latest BSD version
can.
