So, this is what I want to do:

there is a local non-superuser and it can upload the file into /tmp.

Using this account, I download a telnet server package equivalent to what is already installed.

I modify some settings, setting all file directories into /tmp.

Then compile and run as a standalone telnet server.

Is this possible? If not, what makes this impossible?

Or as a non-privileged user, would there be any way to enable telnet?
