..Yes. And personally, I don't know a THING about Debian. They say there's alot of unresolved links, where you have to go find the librarys and such. It'd be much easier (IMHO, again I could be wrong, I barly know much when it comes to C) to just compile this small telnetd program, have it run as a daemon, and put the little 'login' program in /sbin. All good!
