- We wanted people to be able to telnet into our application on an RS/6000
- running AIX 3.2, so we patched the telnetd(1) to execute "/bin/fubar"
- instead of "/bin/login". The program "/bin/fubar" starts the application
- (our University's course registration system).
-
- Everything works fine, except for one annoying thing. When using
- "LAN Workplace for DOS", the TELNET negotiation to the RS/6000 gets confused
- and both systems want to echo. When the user types something and hits
- return, the text is echoed. This doesn't happen when we use telnet(1)
- from other RS/6000s, SGIs, Suns, etc.
-
- What could be the problem?
