  No; why would it be?

   Is that the SSL enabled version?  Debian has it but the SSL and non SSL 
enabled versions are in different packages...


 BP> note the xinetd use flag

   This is from the example xinetd file available in the Debian package (note 
that the path is changing to '/usr/lib/mbsebbs/bin/mblogin' in the updated 
packaging I'm working on...):
-----<cut>-----------------------------------------
service telnets
{
    protocol        = tcp
    instances       = 10
    flags           = REUSE
    log_on_failure += USERID
    socket_type     = stream
    user            = root
    server          = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
    server_args     = -L /opt/mbsebbs/bin/mblogin
    wait            = no
}
-----<cut>-----------------------------------------
