If i understand your question correctly, it does not matter what sort of
system is telnetting, another unix box or windoze, what answers a telnet
request is defined in /etc/inetd.conf normaly it would be
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd which will check /etc/passwd for a passwd of the user
who is logging in, which means in simple terms if you dont have an account
you cant loggin, and noone can read /etc/passwd the passwd is encripted.
root can addusers to the linux box with the 'adduser' command.
It can be done with the control pannel under X also.
'man adduser'
'man passwd'
