I'm trying to get telnet working the way I want it again. When I
'telnet -K localhost' this process shows up:
root 13847 0.0 0.6 248 2952 ? S 6:20PM 0:00.04 telnetd -a off -s -g net.default
You can see I'm passing the '-s' flag to telnetd, which according to
telnetd(8) will make telnet in turn pass the '-s' flag to login. But
as soon as I type my username, this process shows up:
root 9955 0.0 0.5 136 2720 ttyq4 S<s+ 6:20PM 0:00.03 login
and login gladly accepts non-S/Key passwords. I think this used to
work, but honestly I never used telnet much. Anyone remember
otherwise or know what changed? If it's a real change it may even
warrant a security advisory. :(
