That should be a local administrative decision. But personally I don't
care what the defaults are.

It's a good idea to make it easy and clear how to change the behavior as an
issue of local configuration. I think that all that needs to be done is to
make telnetd run loginpr instead of login. Perhaps it should be addressed
by calling our login something else and having /bin/login point either to
that or to loginpr, depending on local choice.
