Package: telnet
Version: 0.17-29
Severity: minor
This has been discussed before:
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/06/msg03441.html>
And redhat seems to have already experienced it and fixed it too:
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/long_list.cgi?buglist=135125>
Quoting from the redhat bug report:
For the past - Oh, I don't know, two decades? - 0 resolves to
127.0.0.1, and so "telnet 0 25" would connect to the local machine's
smtp server, or "telnet 0 80" connects to the local HTTP server. Not
so in RHEL3. WTF?
WTF indeed. "telnet 0 25" (12 keystrokes including the RET) is now "telnet
localhost 25" (19 keystrokes), a >36% increase in manual labor, which will
surely cause a carpal tunnel epidemic if not repealed.
"telnet 0.0.0.0 25" still works, but it's sooo awkward.
