Autologin
---------
  
  For compatablility with vanilla telnet, and by popular demand, autologin
  is no longer on by default in telnet-ssl.

  Autologin is enabled if any of the following command-line arguments are used:

  * -a 
  * -l username 
  * -r (rlogin mode) 
  * -z cert=cert.pem
  * -z key=key.pem

Certificate-based authentication
--------------------------------
    
  SSL telnetd now supports -z certsok and /etc/ssl.users for certificate-based
  authentication without a password. As a consequence of this, telnetlogin(8)
  now accepts -f for login without a password. See telnetd(8) for more
  information.
