Description Inger Karin Haarbye 2001-08-29 17:21:59 UTC
Description of Problem:

I have a Cisco 677i ADSL-router, and I have to use telnet to configure NAT. 
With telnet from fairfax/roswell, I get no echo when I have telnetted to
the 
router and write commands - so I can't see what I'm writing. (Telnet to 
localhost is OK).

This was not a problem in Seawolf, so now I have downgraded my Roswell 
RC1-telnet to the telnet-0.17-10 -package from Seawolf, and it works again. 
Of course, you can do a lot of configuration even if you can't see what you 
are writing, but sometimes the result is unexpected.

As the "old" telnet-package still works, I think "something" has happened
to 
the new telnet?

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

telnet-0.17-16

Does 677i have a normal Cisco CLI or some fancy menu-driven interface?

telnet-0.17-18 on roswell2 works just fine for me (plain oldschool CLI
interface).

Could you try rebuilding telnet-0.17-10 and install it on your system (i.e., if
curses libs have changed..).  Similarly, if you still have a Seawolf box around,
does rebuilding -18 there work?

If feeling adventurous, you could also try commenting out the
"telnet-client-cvs" patch in the spec file.


Comment 2 Inger Karin Haarbye 2001-08-30 14:17:14 UTC
The telnet interface is not much fancy - just plain telnet.

Since last time I tested telnet on Seawolf, I had used up2date - and got the
same problem with the new telnet (0.17-18) as I have in the betas. 0.17-10 is
the only one of these that works for me. Rebuilding the rpms on Seawolf and
Roswell is not making any difference. 0.17-10 works on both systems, 0.17-16 and
0.17-18 does not work.

Commenting out "telnet-client-cvs" patch however gives me a "working" rpm!

Hmmm, will review the cvs patch

Patch posted to the other report.

IMO, this is a MUST-FIX issue.

(it won't come up that often as people don't use telnet much anymore, but if you
do...)
