It's a bug in the telnet daemon. I got a message the other day that this bug
has been fixed with the latest version.
It's certainly not a bug in telnetd, or it wouldn't have been fixed by an
upgrade in login. telnetd does not write the utmp/wtmp records, it gets
login to do it as well as the authentication.
