Re: [bug-inetutils] Important update of telnetd.

[Mats Erik Andersson]

Dear all,

there has been further refinement of TELNET client and server
during this week, so let me mention the present status.

The development head of libshishi, as of 2012-08-16, and
GNU Inetutils as of 2012-08-17, allow these enhancements:

  * Server setup:

     ## /etc/inetd.d/telnet
     #
     telnet stream tcp6 nowait root \
        /usr/local/sbin/telnetd -h -a user -S telnet/address@hidden

  * User setup:

     address@hidden $ echo 'user/address@hidden' >> ~/.k5login
                    $ chmod 0600 ~/.k5login

  * Invokation steps:

     $ shishi user/address@hidden

     $ telnet -kLOCALHOST -a  telnet/localhost

     [ Kerberos V5 accepts you as ``user/address@hidden'' (server 
authenticated) ]

Best regards,

  Mats
