Well my RaQ2 does not work like that.
I have telnet turned off in the Control Panel
and
Telnet/Shell turned on for user admin (Modify User) and it
works fine.
You may be talking about the fact that the GUI says
"Telnet/Shell access"
So you can say that telnetd is turned off via Control Panel
Services,
and Telnet/Shell access is turned on for a user in Modify
User.
But since telnetd is turned off, you are only allowing shell
access.
The Modify User should really say "Shell access" not
"Telnet/Shell access"
