The following reply was made to PR bin/9226; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Michael Grant <mgrant@grant.org> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, jooji@neptune.oceancomputer.com Cc: Subject: Re: bin/9226: telnetd can log wrong IP address to utmp Date: Wed, 24 May 2000 19:07:45 +0200 I'm running 3.4-stable. the -u option to telnetd doesn't seem to work, I still get hostnames in utmp even when -u0 is used. I noticed that it passes the whole hostname to login with the -h option. Why not add an option to login.conf to convert or leave the hostname as an IP address, this way, it works for all things in general rather than having to change rsh, telnet, and ssh? Perhaps a reason not to do this is that some dns trickery with the reverse dns could spoof the user's real ip address. -Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
