Hi,

I'm looking for the source to a version of telnetd which will compile for
SunOS 4.1.3.  I've poked around on archie, but all I can find are binary
copies of in.telnetd or telnetd.

What I really want is a version of telnetd which will:

        1. read an /etc/banner (or whatever) file to decide what to display
           at login time

        2. look somewhere other than /bin/login for my login daemon --
           preferably a place of my choosing.

Thanks,
David.

 We managed to compile the Net/2 telnetd under SunOS 4.1.3 _with_
line_mode enabled, which would support everything you are looking for I
believe, but the termio part was broken, so it had no clue as to the
actual size of a users screen. Still, "stty LINES 34" or something
similar was able to fix it for the user, so that may be a good place to
start.

 The source is widely available with the Net/2 distribution.

How did you do that?  I thought LINEMODE required some kernel help which
SunOS 4.1.3 did not have.  If your fix is not SunOS 4.1.3 specific, I
would really like to see it...

Try the Cray Telnet: ftp.cray.com:src/telnet/telnet.94.02.07.NE.tar.Z
It fixes this bug and others (the problem, by the way, is that it sets
the server side rows and columns to the client side rows and rows..).

The Cray version is based on Net/2 but adds fixes and support for lots
of other stuff like encryption.

 It is not really a fix until I get the damn thing to understand the size
of a terminal, and there are many other things in this world to busy
myself with.

 I believe the changes would be SunOS 4.1.3 specific however.

 In fact, it was that particular archive I believe that I tried
not realizing that in fact it was Cray oriented, rather than Net/2.

 That telnetd compiled fine, but does not support line-mode under SunOS
either.

 What do people think about simply replacing one's includes and
rebuilding the kernel, and then attempting to compile....

 Has anyone ever done so?
