+//config:config TELNETD
+//config: bool "telnetd"
+//config: default y
+//config: select FEATURE_SYSLOG
+//config: help
+//config: A daemon for the TELNET protocol, allowing you to log onto the host
+//config: running the daemon. Please keep in mind that the TELNET protocol
+//config: sends passwords in plain text. If you can't afford the space for an
+//config: SSH daemon and you trust your network, you may say 'y' here. As a
+//config: more secure alternative, you should seriously consider installing the
+//config: very small Dropbear SSH daemon instead:
+//config: http://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html
+//config:
+//config: Note that for busybox telnetd to work you need several things:
+//config: First of all, your kernel needs:
+//config: CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y
+//config:
+//config: Next, you need a /dev/pts directory on your root filesystem:
+//config:
+//config: $ ls -ld /dev/pts
+//config: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Sep 23 13:21 /dev/pts/
+//config:
+//config: Next you need the pseudo terminal master multiplexer /dev/ptmx:
+//config:
+//config: $ ls -la /dev/ptmx
+//config: crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 2 Sep 23 13:55 /dev/ptmx
+//config:
+//config: Any /dev/ttyp[0-9]* files you may have can be removed.
+//config: Next, you need to mount the devpts filesystem on /dev/pts using:
+//config:
+//config: mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
+//config:
+//config: You need to be sure that busybox has LOGIN and
+//config: FEATURE_SUID enabled. And finally, you should make
+//config: certain that Busybox has been installed setuid root:
+//config:
+//config: chown root.root /bin/busybox
+//config: chmod 4755 /bin/busybox
+//config:
+//config: with all that done, telnetd _should_ work....
+//config:
+//config:config FEATURE_TELNETD_STANDALONE
+//config: bool "Support standalone telnetd (not inetd only)"
+//config: default y
+//config: depends on TELNETD
+//config: help
+//config: Selecting this will make telnetd able to run standalone.
+//config:
+//config:config FEATURE_TELNETD_INETD_WAIT
+//config: bool "Support -w SEC option (inetd wait mode)"
+//config: default y
+//config: depends on FEATURE_TELNETD_STANDALONE
+//config: help
+//config: This option allows you to run telnetd in "inet wait" mode.
+//config: Example inetd.conf line (note "wait", not usual "nowait"):
+//config:
+//config: telnet stream tcp wait root /bin/telnetd telnetd -w10
+//config:
+//config: In this example, inetd passes _listening_ socket_ as fd 0
+//config: to telnetd when connection appears.
+//config: telnetd will wait for connections until all existing
+//config: connections are closed, and no new connections
+//config: appear during 10 seconds. Then it exits, and inetd continues
+//config: to listen for new connections.
+//config:
+//config: This option is rarely used. "tcp nowait" is much more usual
+//config: way of running tcp services, including telnetd.
+//config: You most probably want to say N here.
