telnetd.c software and telnetd.8 documentation do not correspond with
each other. The invocation options for the two are give conflicting
information, etc.  This applies to Inetutils 1.5.

The documentation says:

  /usr/libexec/telnetd [-BUhlkns] [-D debugmode] [-Iinitid] [-S tos]
                           [-X authtype] [-a authmode] [-edebug]
                           [-rlowpty-highpty] [-u len] [-debug [port]]


The program itself expects:

Usage: telnetd [OPTION]
 Options are:
     -a, --authmode AUTHMODE  specify what mode to use for authentication
     -D, --debug[=LEVEL]      set debugging level
     -E, --exec-login STRING  set program to be executed instead of /bin/login
     -h, --no-hostinfo        do not print host information before login has
                              been completed
     -l, --linemode[=MODE]    set line mode
     -n, --no-keepalive       disable TCP keep-alives
     -U, --reverse-lookup     refuse  connections from addresses that
                              cannot be mapped back into a symbolic name
     -X, --disable-auth-type AUTHTYPE
                              disable the use of given authentication option
 Informational options:
     -V, --version         display this help and exit
     -L, --license         display license and exit
     -H. --help            output version information and exit
