Well, the parent poster asked for an alternative, so I said sshd. If he wanted telnetd, then he wouldn't ask for an alternative, very simple. And you act as if I had anything to do with telnetd being removed. I have nothing to do about anything OpenBSD does, short of maybe helping to fix a bug or two I might happen to find. You don't like telnetd being gone, use another OS or just use an alternative, like the parent poster asked about in his first email (sshd).
