>Description:
The man page for telnetd(8) reports that the (upper case) '-P' flag 
specifies an alternate login program to run, wheras the source in 
/usr/src/libexec/telnetd/telnetd.c reveals that we need to
use (lower case) '-p' instead:

   290                  case 'p':
   291                          altlogin = optarg;
   292                          break;            

Not a big problem, but a potential source of confusion.

>How-To-Repeat:

A little editing should do the trick. ;-)
