I'm trying to login to a NeXT using Telnet running on a DCA
data switch. I can to connect to the NeXT and get a login
prompt, but the NeXT is neither sending out nor respecting
carriage returns. It only understands line feeds. (IE: I have
to enter a ^J as a record terminator after typing my login
and password. Also, the NeXT isn't sending out ^M at the end
of records. As a result,
records are printed to the
screen like this.)
After talking to some people and reading man pages for telnetd,
telnet, termcap, gettytab, etc., I believe the problem is that
the DCA data swith doesn't know anything about terminals, so
telnetd has no term info to give to the created login process.
Although, by the time I'm running csh everything is fine because
by then the terminal type is defined properly.
If this all sounds possible/true, the question all this is
building up to is: How do you change or specify the login info
that telnetd is passing to login? I should also say that I have
experienced the same problems when connecting to an Ultrix system
through the DCA gear.
Sal.
