Re: Telnet not in netutils
No, of course I didn’t read the port notes since I don’t know where one can find them after having done a port install. Why did they do that (prefixing the utils with a „g“). Is it now a GNU thing? Yes, I know that it is insecure and what not, but for local connections like talking to a port of a local process it’s just fine :) And I also recalled how to quit the telnet session (on the Mac keyboard): CTRL-ALT-] (^]) :) > Am 27.05.2021 um 22:04 schrieb Christopher Jones : > > Hi, > > I guess you didn’t read/notice the port notes when you installed inetutils ? > > inetutils has the following notes: >All clients are now installed with the "g" prefix. > > Oberon ~/Projects/MacPorts/ports > sudo port contents inetutils | grep telnet > /opt/local/bin/gtelnet > /opt/local/share/man/man1/gtelnet.1.gz > > Chris > ] >> On 27 May 2021, at 8:57 pm, Christoph Kukulies wrote: >> >> I’m trying to get a telnet installed under macOS 11.3.1.

Yeah, my router uses it for maintenance, but that's the only Telnet server here; I've even disabled the external maintenance port (the password is hardly a secret) so my ISP will have to ask me nicely if they need it. -- Dave
Re: Telnet not in netutils
I use telnet to connect to local cisco router. This is a terminal server router and behind a firewall, no need to use sshd telnet connects quick. I think is should be available to install > On May 27, 2021, at 4:48 PM, raf wrote: > > On Fri, May 28, 2021 at 09:20:47AM +1000, Dave Horsfall > wrote: > >> On Thu, 27 May 2021, Christopher Jones wrote: >> >>> I guess you didn’t read/notice the port notes when you installed >>> inetutils ? >> >> [...] >> >> It's also a horribly insecure protocol; I've even disabled it on my LAN (SSH >> is your friend). >> >> -- Dave > > telnet might still be useful for debugging other services > (that have no authentication), although probably nothing > that nc/nc6 can't do. but yes, port 23 should certainly be > avoided like something proverbial. > > cheers, > raf >

Re: Telnet not in netutils
Hi, I guess you didn’t read/notice the port notes when you installed inetutils ? inetutils has the following notes: All clients are now installed with the "g" prefix.
