I guess the earlier problem I had with changing user passwords and creating new users is related to the shadow file. Anytime I change something to /etc/passwd or shadow I get locked out.

telnetlogin
TELNETLOGIN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual TELNETLOGIN(8)NAME
telnetlogin -- login wrapper for telnetd
SYNOPSIS
telnetlogin [-h host] [-p] [-f username] [username]
DESCRIPTION
telnetlogin is a setuid wrapper that runs login(1). It is meant to be invoked by telnetd(8); the idea is to remove the necessity of running
telnetd as root.
telnetlogin should be installed mode 4750, user root, group telnetd. Then, telnetd may be run from /etc/inetd.conf as user ``nobody'', group
``telnetd'', and with the option -L path-to-telnetlogin.
telnetlogin accepts only the subset of options to login(1) shown above, in the order listed. This is the order telnetd 8 normally provides
them in. telnetlogin also does sanity checks on the environment variables TERM, and REMOTEHOST. It also insists that the standard input,
output, and error streams are open on a terminal, and that it is the process group leader of the foreground process of that terminal. After
checking all of these conditions, checking the values of the above environment variables for reasonable values, resetting signal handlers,
and so forth, it execs login.
SEE ALSO login(1), inetd.conf(5), inetd(8), telnetd(8)RESTRICTIONS
THIS IS PRESENTLY EXPERIMENTAL CODE; USE WITH CAUTION.
HISTORY
telnetlogin was written during the development of NetKit 0.17.
