Technically, you can run kerberized (krb5) telnet/telnetd, and it's not quite as insecure as unkerberized telnet.  The telnet protocol supports security measures, but most people just use OpenSSH (which can do a lot more) so there's little effort being made to widely use it.

I doubt the OP was setting up krb5 telnetd, though.
