SV: telnetd problem?
The client is not sending the telnet newline command when you press enter.
Instead it sends a cr and probably a nl. The netbsd system expects just the nl.
Using the telnet newline command would make it right. Instead you see the
unknown command error for the cr. Pressing a ^j before hitting enter means you
get nl+cr+nl in the stream.
You need to get the telnet client to behave better.
One easy way to see what is happening is just to do hexdump -C on the command
line.

Ämne:telnetd problem?
Hi,
I had to use a client's machine to telnet into a 3.1(x86)
box, yesterday. His telnet client (<mumble> running
under XP) gave me fits trying to login.
Eventually, I *stumbled* into the machine. Then, found
damn near every command I tried to type (at sh prompt)
met by ": not found".
Long story short: it appears that the ENTER key is
sending something unusual.
If I preface ENTER with ^J, I am able to get commands
to be recognized -- at least, they are *executed*!
But, each command's output is eventually followed by
": not found".
A quick poke through the telnet client's menus
didn't seem to turn up anything -- but, I was more
interested in getting out of there than solving
*that* problem.
Now, I'm trying to think of ways I can diagnose
what is happening -- hopefully, entirely on the
NetBSD side of the interface (so I don't have to
try to understand this wonky telnet client!).
Suggestions?
I figure possibly arranging for the session to be
"raw" and just try to capture keystrokes to a file (?).
Then, examine the file's contents with a "working"
telnet client (or, at the console, etc.)
<frown> Annoying little problem!
Thanks!
