In the current version 1.5 used on a x86_64 "telnet localhost" results in "Trying 255.255.255.255" what shurely does not work. First I thought I made a config error, but all the other tools (ping, scp) worked fine. Then I realized that the problem was in inetutils running on x86_64, so I wrote a patch for it:
I am running a slightly old CVS snapshot of Inetutils and here is what I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ telnet --version telnet (GNU inetutils) 1.5 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ telnet localhost 22 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.3 Maybe it has been fixed already. :-) Happy hacking, Debarshi -- GPG key ID: 63D4A5A7 Key server: pgp.mit.edu _______________________________________________ bug-inetutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-inetutils
