Write a wrapper around login.  Hope that bash has no buffer overflows
that can be exploited this way:

----- /usr/local/sbin/ulogin -----
#!/bin/sh
ulimit -s 16384
exec /bin/login "$@"
----------------------------------

Then use this as a replacement:

6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -l /usr/local/sbin/ulogin 38400 tty6

telnet stream tcp nowait  root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.telnetd -L /usr/local/sbin/ulogin

etc.
