.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I Telnetd
|
|
is a server which supports the DARPA standard
|
|
.B TELNET
|
|
virtual terminal protocol.
|
|
.I Telnetd
|
|
is invoked by the internet server (see
|
|
.IR inetd (8)),
|
|
normally for requests to connect to the
|
|
.B TELNET
|
|
port as indicated by the
|
|
.I /etc/services
|
|
file (see
|
|
.IR services (5)).
|
|
If the \fB\-debug\fP may be used, to start up \fBtelnetd\fP
|
|
manually, instead of through
|
|
.IR inetd (8).
|
|
If started up this way, \fIport\fP may be specified to
|
|
run \fItelnetd\fP on an alternate TCP port number.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fB\-D\fP option may be used for debugging purposes.
|
|
This allows \fItelnet\fR to print out debugging information
|
|
to the connection, allowing the user to see what telnetd
|
|
is doing.
|
|
There are several modifiers:
|
|
\fBoptions\fR prints information about the negotiation
|
|
of \fBTELNET\fR options,
|
|
\fBreport\fR prints the \fBoptions\fR information, plus
|
|
some additional information about what processing is going on,
|
|
\fBnetdata\fP displays the data stream received by \fItelnetd\fP,
|
|
\fBptydata\fP displays data written to the pty, and
|
|
\fBexercise\fR has not been implemented yet.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Telnetd
|
|
operates by allocating a pseudo-terminal device (see
|
|
.IR pty (4))
|
|
for a client, then creating a login process which has
|
|
the slave side of the pseudo-terminal as
|
|
.BR stdin ,
|
|
.BR stdout ,
|
|
and
|
|
.BR stderr .
|
|
.I Telnetd
|
|
manipulates the master side of the pseudo-terminal,
|
|
implementing the
|
|
.B TELNET
|
|
protocol and passing characters
|
|
between the remote client and the login process.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When a
|
|
.B TELNET
|
|
session is started up,
|
|
.I telnetd
|
|
sends
|
|
.B TELNET
|
|
options to the client side indicating
|
|
a willingness to do
|
|
.I remote echo
|
|
of characters, to
|
|
.I suppress go
|
|
.IR ahead ,
|
|
to do
|
|
.I remote flow
|
|
.IR control ,
|
|
and to receive
|
|
.I terminal type
|
|
.IR information ,
|
|
.I terminal speed
|
|
.IR information ,
|
|
and
|
|
.I window size information
|
|
from the remote client.
|
|
If the remote client is willing, the remote terminal type is
|
|
propagated in the environment of the created login process.
|
|
The pseudo-terminal allocated to the client is configured
|
|
to operate in \*(lqcooked\*(rq mode, and with XTABS and CRMOD
|
|
enabled (see
|
|
.IR tty (4)).
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Telnetd
|
|
is willing to
|
|
.IR do :
|
|
.IR echo ,
|
|
.IR binary ,
|
|
.I suppress go
|
|
.IR ahead ,
|
|
and
|
|
.I timing
|
|
.IR mark .
|
|
.I Telnetd
|
|
is willing to have the remote client
|
|
.IR do :
|
|
.IR linemode ,
|
|
.IR binary ,
|
|
.I terminal
|
|
.IR type ,
|
|
.I terminal
|
|
.IR speed ,
|
|
.I window
|
|
.IR size ,
|
|
.I toggle flow
|
|
.IR control ,
|
|
.IR environment ,
|
|
.I X display
|
|
.IR location ,
|
|
and
|
|
.I suppress go
|
|
.IR ahead .

|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
Some
|
|
.B TELNET
|
|
commands are only partially implemented.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Because of bugs in the original 4.2 BSD
|
|
.IR telnet (1),
|
|
.I telnetd
|
|
performs some dubious protocol exchanges to try to discover if the remote
|
|
client is, in fact, a 4.2 BSD
|
|
.IR telnet (1).
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Binary mode
|
|
has no common interpretation except between similar operating systems
|
|
(Unix in this case).
|
|
.PP
|
|
The terminal type name received from the remote client is converted to
|
|
lower case.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Telnetd
|
|
never sends
|
|
.B TELNET
|
|
.I go ahead
|
|
commands.
