Bingo. For an independent difficulty, was in Debian 11 here.
A wild guess: some procedure names changed from 11 to 12.
Booted Debian 12, made utelnetd and tested. Works as indicated in
various Web pages.

revealing and valuable!

Someone else noted the same and posted the man 8 here.

You give a password every time a xterm or similar is opened? To my
understanding, most users just open the term and go at the command line.
If you can break into my system, shorewall needs a bug report.
