Re: How can I use sshd to satisfy my needs?

You've replied and it sounds like you don't need the actual telnet protocol supported and that makes it a little simpler.

An SSL encrypted tunnel sounds like it would suit this purpose quite simply. The stunnel program can be used to wrap a program which doesn't know how to do SSL and openssl s_client -connect host:port can be used to connect to it.

I have heard of versions of telnet which support SSL also which might make connections simpler.

If you really wanted to use ssh it might make more sense to create a sort of public private key which should allow access -- come to think of it, there is an option in sshd_config to allow empty passwords, users would just need to know which username to use.
