Is there a reason not to just run inetd as a service as the documentation
suggests?

The above permissions need to be added to the account from which 'login'
will run, not the target account to be logged into.  You'll need to add
the specified permissions to the account you will issue 'login' from.
I'm guessing from the information you provided above that this account
is not 'root'.
