It strikes me that simply examining the enviroment variables the
client telnet passed to the login would be sufficient. From that
point, as I see it, the users .login could handle things, making the
requirement that a windows user to anything "unxilike" other than
start the telnet session at all unnecessary (that is, they wouldnt
need to type a command to get the tools to do their things, even!)
Additionally, there is the option of assigning various port numbers to
various tools, all accessible via telnet, although bypassing a
password entry means one would have to take care to restrict the port
to internal IPs only.
I am available on a consultant basis, I can implement what you ask for
easily. If your interested, call my and my girlfriends pager at
602-720-3483, and/or send a reply email.
