Lines: 62 Nntp-Posting-Host: hertz.njit.edu Summary: When trying to telnet to the 386BSD machine from a non-386BSD machine, the login/password prompts keep scrolling up the screen. Hardware: Both machines are AT&T StarStations 386/33Mhz running over a StarLAN 10 network. Software: The non-386BSD machine is running AT&T SYSV R4.0.2.1 and AT&T StarGROUP TCP/IP Software (really Wollongong Group) version 4.0 Update 1. Detail: Ping and FTP seem to work just fine. I can telnet to the AT&T machine from the 386BSD machine without a problem. When I manually start telnetd on the 386BSD in the debug mode, I can then telnet from the AT&T machine just fine!! I have looked at the code for telnetd, but cannot figure out what is causing the problem. Oh yes, I get the following diagnostic information when I try to telnet into the 386BSD machine: STATUS IS : WILL ECHO WILL SUPPRESS GO AHEAD WILL STATUS DO 33 250 33 Line mode enabled. ECHO 240 (Get welcome message, scrolling of login/passwd begins) When I manually start telnetd with the command "/usr/libexec/telnetd -debug 557" and then type "telnet <machine name> 557" fro the AT&T machine, I get DIFFERENT diagnostic information: STATUS IS : DO Line mode enabled. ECHO WILL SUPPRESS GO AHEAD WILL STATUS DO 33 250 33 Character mode enabled. ECHO 240 (able to login normally) telnet seems to be running in character mode here whereas before it ran in line mode. Telnetd has been compiled with LINEMODE, USE_TERMIO and DIAGNOSTICS defined. All comments welcomed. Thanks. Jeff
