Hello,
can you try playing with inetd?
eg. inetd.conf
telnet stream tcp nowait root /path/to/ssh ssh hostname
in that way, the input and output path of port 23 will be redirected to input and output of ssh connection... therefore, it will act as telnet/ssh gateway... since this type of connection dont have a controlling terminal... you need a paraphrase to gain login to ssh server...

Thanks fooler. I was thinking though..doesn't this make telnet connect directly to the ssh daemon? I guess tunnelling is the only alternative if the legacy app sticks to telnet then. Please correct me if I'm wrong though.
