	I'd love to, if it were mine to distribute. As it is, I tried to
perform a public service by letting all and sundry know about this, after
getting a mail from Alan Cox (who replied when I sent e-mail to the 
person listed as the author of the Slackware telnetd in the CERT advisory)
saying where the binary could be found.
	I mean, if it were *me*, I'd pgp-sign my mail, make both elf an
a.out bins available (this one's been done...), and make source available.
But I didn't write it. All I can do is deflect the e-mail I've gotten since
(6 requests for source, one request for install help).
