telnet does not provide this functionality. The non-kerberized rcmd
protocol provides this functionality; however, it is highly insecure
(that it, anyone will be able to log in to your machines without much
effort).
The rcmd functionality is controlled by .rhosts files in users' home
directories, and by /etc/hosts.equiv.
