Sorry, my answer was not really true. I was
a bit in a hurry when I replied.
The inetutils "should" work on 9X as well with the
exception of ftpd which I have patched so that
it can't run on 9X at the moment.
Unfortunately telnetd seems to have a problem
which has to be tracked down. It doesn't fork
and exec /usr/bin/login and I don't know why
yet.
So the correct answer to your original question
is:
It doesn't work on 9X yet but it
will (hopefully) work in a few days.
