    Of note, Wieste Venema's telnetd (included in his logdaemon package) is
    immune to this attack.

    telnetd pretty dumb BSD 4.3 telnetd. No access control or logging,
            but compatible with SunOS 4.x, Ultrix 4.x, SunOS 5.x.
            Relatively poor in features (no environment passing) so there
            is less risks of surprises.
