> Anyway, the program compiles just fine on Debian 12.

Bingo.  For an independent difficulty, was in Debian 11 here.  
A wild guess: some procedure names changed from 11 to 12.

Booted Debian 12, made utelnetd and tested.  Works as indicated in 
various Web pages.

I'd expect a compiler guru to say they're critically important and 
revealing and valuable!

Yah, they ignored the question.

> So much for trying to find documentation ...

Someone else noted the same and posted the man 8 here.

You give a password every time a xterm or similar is opened?  To my
understanding, most users just open the term and go at the command line.

If you can break into my system, shorewall needs a bug report.

Thx,                     ... P.
