There is no real solution, because there is no real problem to solve.

If MiniMyth actually does not provide a copy of mythtv-setup to allow 
users to blank that setting and allow mythfrontend to listen everywhere, 
then this is a fine example of why not including applications is a 
terrible design choice.  I realize it is designed to take up a minimum 
of storage, but mythtv-setup is all of 360KB.

Also for what it's worth, it's not a telnet socket, and should not be 
used with telnet clients.
