You'd need to provide the actual commands you used where it didn't work
for you.

s38:/tmp/busybox# ./telnetd
s38 login: 
bernhard at s38:/tmp/busybox$ ./busybox pidof telnetd
11182
Login timed out after 60 seconds.

and

s38:/tmp/busybox# PATH=":$PATH" ./telnetd
s38 login: 
bernhard at s38:/tmp/busybox$ ./busybox pidof telnetd
11414
Login timed out after 60 seconds.

Works for me.
