Disable telnet for a particular user

On Solaris 8 is there anyway to disable telnet for a particular user and not for entire system altogether? I would like the user to retain a shell and so creating a noshell like ftp account is not an option.

Allow telnet in AIX from specific IP adds, but disable for everyone else

NAME

       rpc.smserverd - removable media device server

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/smedia/rpc.smserverd

DESCRIPTION

       rpc.smserverd  is  a  server  that  handles requests from client  applications, such as volume management software, for access to removable
       media devices. In addition to volume management software, rmformat(1) and the CDE Filemanager (when performing removable media  operations)
       are  rpc.smserverd  clients.  The  rpc.smserverd daemon is started by inetd(1M) when a client makes a call to a Solaris-internal library to
       access a SCSI, IDE, or USB device. The daemon is not started if a client attempts to access a  floppy or PCMCIA device. Once  started,  the
       daemon remains  active until such time as it is idle for three minutes or more.

       The  rpc.smserverd daemon is provided for the exclusive use of the client applications mentioned above. It has no external, customer-acces-
       sible interfaces, including no configuration file.
