Telnet daemon retired in 3.8 ?

[Matthew S Elmore]

I cannot appear to locate a telnet daemon in 3.8 installs now. It 
appears to have silently disappeared between 3.7 and 3.8.

I see no mention of this in the release notes or after a cursory search 
of the mailing lists. It's possible it is mentioned somewhere and I am 
missing it.

I understand the advantages of ssh over telnet, but telnet is still 
heavily used in many environments.

Is it merely hiding somewhere or can someone recommend an alternative 
for me?

Regards,
Matt
