replacing the telnet daemon on Solaris

My company is doing a mass removal of telnet services corporate wide, to
be replaced by SSH. And this is a good thing.

We will have a handful of servers, that due to application issues or
vendor support issues, will need to retain telnet daemon services and
will need to be locked down by user id, as to whether they can login to
a server or not. These systems are all Sparc based running Solaris 8.

Initially, it was suggested to me that xinetd might be able to lock down
telnet, and it can, just not by user id.

I have done all of the standard searches, i.e. yahoo, Sun BigAdmin,
freshmeat.net, sourceforge, etc. I have not come across anything that
can lock down telnet services by user id.

Is anyone else doing something like this? I would appreciate it if you
can share what you did, or what telnet daemon you used to resolve your
issue.

As always, I will summarize.
