Often, in a desktop environment, just a telnet 3, telnet 5 command

You probably mean "telinit 3" and "telinit 5".

Yep. My fingers (or brain) slurred that one! :-(

But we are talking to a veteran of FreeBSD so he probably knows such stuff already, shouldn't he?

You'd be surprised. A lot just do init, which is also correct. I don't know why there was ever a distinction though. AFAICR, telinit has always been a link (hard or soft) to init. I've never looked into the code to see if argv[0] causes any change in code execution.
