What do you want to say? That's correct, you can use login
with telnet which is started from inetd which in turn is
started as service under LocalSystem account (typically).

However, you may use login on the command line but this
requires you to add the needed user rights to your NT user
account. In NT4 use the user manager, in W2K the security
mmc snap-in.

This is what I told you.
