secure telnet

[fbsd_user]

I there any way to tell the FBSD telnet server launched by inetd to
only accept SRA secure logins?

Secure RPC Authentication, I think.
RFC1416, might be compliant with 2941 as well.

No.

The RFCs describe the protocol.  I don't see why there would be any
user interface involved, so I don't know what other kind of
documentation would be useful.

I don't think there is any in the FreeBSD system or documentation
tree.  For secure remote login, ssh(1) is superior in every way,
even
if you use null encryption on the session.
