Maybe I’m confused, but what’s the point of using NOCOLUMMS for something that’s not one of the statuses that is sent by the client? If you want to omit telnet, simply don’t list it in hosts.cfg for the host. If you want to drop an existing column, look into “Tips and Tricks” under the Help menu, and navigate to “How do I delete a test status?”.
NOCOLUMNS is for something that the client will continue to send, and you can’t turn off, but don’t want to display.

The manpage says “column is one of cpu, disk, files, memory, msgs, ports, procs.” – it doesn’t mention “telnet” as an option to drop.
Well, then the manpage should be updated.
Here is the page normally:
And here is the page with "0.0.0.0 .default. # NOCOLUMNS:telnet" added.
To entertain the suggestion, I've commented out the .default. line too but still no alerts... I'm not sure where else to look.
