Try: ftp://ftp.cymru.net/pub/linux/security/in.telnetd.elf.gz

NOTE: THIS IS AN ELF BINARY!!!

Also note that something else changed.  I run Slackware 2.3.  I used to 
have a lengthy login banner that said something to the effect of, "Don't 
break into my system."  The new telnet does not recognize it.

It does not have the shared library vulnerability (at least as far as I 
could determine).

Where's the source for this?
