Some time ago I got some reports MPSAFE TTY broke telnetd(8). Even
though it turned out to be a different problem within the TTY code, I
spotted a small issue with telnetd(8). Instead of allocating PTY's using
openpty(3) or posix_openpt(2), it used its own PTY allocation routine.
This means that telnetd(8) still uses /dev/ptyXX-style devices.
I've also increased the size of line[]. Even though 16 should be enough,
we already use 13 bytes ("/dev/pts/999", including '\0'). 32 bytes gives
us a little more freedom.
Also enable -DSTREAMSPTY. Otherwise telnetd(8) strips the PTY's pathname
to the latest slash instead of just removing "/dev/" (e.g. /dev/pts/0 ->
0, instead of pts/0).

really wants to build non-cryptographic binaries, but the "crypto"
release distribution is now part of "base", and anyone installing from a
release will get cryptographic binaries.

Previously, there were two copies of telnet; a non-crypto version
that lived in the usual places, and a crypto version that lived in
crypto/telnet/. The latter was built in a broken manner somewhat akin
to other "contribified" sources. This meant that there were 4 telnets
competing with each other at build time - KerberosIV, Kerberos5,
plain-old-secure and base. KerberosIV is no longer in the running, but
the other three took it in turns to jump all over each other during a
"make buildworld".
As the crypto issue has been clarified, and crypto _calls_ are not
a problem, crypto/telnet has been repo-copied to contrib/telnet,
and with this commit, all telnets are now "contribified". The contrib
path was chosen to not destroy history in the repository, and differs
from other contrib/ entries in that it may be worked on as "normal"
BSD code. There is no dangerous crypto in these sources, only a
very weak system less strong than enigma(1).
Kerberos5 telnet and Secure telnet are now selected by using the usual
macros in /etc/make.conf, and the build process is unsurprising and
less treacherous.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
