Yes, you might want to consider if you want to allow unencrypted Windows logins across the network, since telnet is unencrypted. I think that the MS telnet server supports NTLM authentication, but that only works with MS telnet clients, I suppose. If you really need telnet-like functionality, but don't want the security issues of telnet, you might consider getting an ssh server. VanDyke Software has a very nice one called VShell, and I think you can use OpenSSH on Windows also. If it has to be telnet, you might look at using something that doesn't integrate with Windows logins, but has its own logins instead. I've never deployed a telnet server on Windows, though, so there may be other considerations as well.
