Description Eduard Vopicka 2003-07-22 10:03:33 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703

Description of problem:
The "-K" option seens to do nothing in telnet that comes with RedHat 9.
Even more, "toggle autologin" doe not work:

[eda@eda tmp]$ telnet
telnet> toggle autologin
'autologin': unknown argument ('toggle ?' for help).
telnet> toggle ?

and autologin is not listed as valid toggle argument by "toggle ?".

Even if both "-K" and "toggle autologin are metioned on telnet man page.

-K      Specifies no automatic login to the remote system.

        autologin     If the remote side supports the TELNET
                              AUTHENTICATION option TELNET attempts to use it
                              to perform automatic authentication.  If the
                              AUTHENTICATION option is not supported, the
                              user's login name are propagated through the
                              TELNET ENVIRON option.  This command is the same
                              as specifying a option on the open command.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
