Hi,
Been a bit of a struggle on my end... Some background, from most recent...
- The existing telnetd bundle source will not build with telnetd2 (wimpi) nor,
walking backwards, telnetd1.0b4... Got close with telnetd1.0b4, by making
'io.toolkit.Editline' a public class, but the shell is not compiling due to
missing methods...
- If I shutdown the bundle, the listen socket is still bound
# Note that the bundle DOES invoke shutdown() of dtw.telnetD which
subsequently calls shutdown on 'myListener', but to no avail;
- Needless to say, I can not embed a felix container with this functionality as
it stands, as a subsequent restart of the container gets a socket bind failure
on port 6623 (the property specified listen port) as it's currently bound to a
defunct container;
Hence, it looks like it would be a bit of work to upgrade the existing telnetd
bundle code to, for sake of argument, wimpi.telnetd2...
In the short run, I'm willing to simply fix the socket listener problem, but I am still backtracking to find the dtw.telnetD source that will build with the telnetd bundle... I'm about to get dtw.telnetd.1.0b3 next...
Appreciate the interest... I find the feature to be a useful tool... I don't
necessarily need the 'ssh' stuff as I'm sort of telnet'ing from the same box
from whence the container is run... IMO, there are other ways of defeating the
lax in security (e.g., firewall) -- meaning, I ssh to the box and telnet to the
container from there... easy enough and secure enough (IMO)... I'm only
interested in the [more than] rudimentary console for which the bundle
provides... I get a lot of useful mileage out of the telnetd bundle...
Thanks, much appreciative, Craig Phillips, Praxis Engineering..

using it.
Not sure if Craig is on the dev list, so have CC'd him here and will

Hello everyone,
I have been meaning to ask about this for a while (perhaps I already
did), is there any interest in bring the old telnet bundle into
Felix? I still use this bundle occasionally. It is dependent upon
telnetd, which is released under BSD (I see there is now telnetd2,
which is still under a BSD-like license). So, it seems do-able.
Thoughts?
