Are the telnet/pty default stty modes hardcoded in either the pty device or telnetd? Or is there some way I can change these? It's the old backspace/delete problem again. Once logged in, profile does an stty to change erase, but I need to do that BEFORE login so the login prompts themselves work properly. What they do now is echo ^H when someone trys to correct a typo in their login name.

And don't tell me about ssh, I realize that's one solution, and we recommend using that, but we've had to enable telnet because a third party access control program we use to connect to customer systems doesn't do ssh or charges extra for it or something (I'm not sure what the issue with it is, actually). If it wasn't for that we'd just disable telnetd entirely...
