I gather you mean that as the start of test archives
and alpha testing. (The bootstrap script is presently
only minimally out of date.)

Documentation is reasonably up to date, since I have
tried to let my changes enter also there.

Unfortunately, telnetd is broken on Arch Linux, probably
due to util-linux. Printing of responses from the server
on the client screen is missing in important parts.
(User name and password exchange must be done blind-folded!)
The server works correctly with Debian, FreeBSD and Solaris,
so the problem seems specific to Arch Linux.

I gave our inetutils-syslogd running on Arch Linux wrapped
below systemd, which works well, so it is not clear to me
whether systemd is intervening in telnetd-login, causing
message losses.
