Summary

Remove entierly from the SEE ALSO section. Elsewhere, remove as
appropriate and change from .Xr to .Nm where a mention of telnetd
continues to make sense (or removing it would require significant
reworking of the surrounding text).

Event Timeline

(Please see comments inline -- I think the port should be mentioned in telnet(1); not sure about inetd(8) but since we mentioned uucpd there it seems to be somewhat logical to have it there too)

contrib/telnet/telnet/telnet.1
1468

Maybe worth mentioning the port here?

usr.sbin/inetd/inetd.8
966–967

I'm somewhat inclined to say that we should reference the port in case the user needs the functionality, perhaps something like

.Nm telnetd Pq Pa ports/net/freebsd-telnetd

?

Restore a couple more important references adding a reference to the
port. This follows existing inetd.8 practice.

This revision now requires review to proceed.Sep 28 2022, 11:09 PM

This is definitely better than previous but we should probably delete this section altogether in a subsequent commit.

341–342

Similar comment to above, also "those" doesn't agree with singular telnetd. Maybe missed when some r-service was removed from this page?

usr.bin/login/login.1
66

The option is basically of historical interest only now?

brooks added inline comments.
usr.bin/login/login.1
66

It's a bit hard to know for sure, but there will be no users in the tree. I'd be curious to know what (if anything) in ports uses login(1).
