Responding to my own post since I found out some good news, at least on the telnetd side. :) Studded wrote: > > Dan Nelson wrote: > > > > In the last episode (May 02), Studded said: > > > Jonathan Chen wrote: > > > > > > > Check out the im= field in /etc/gettytab > > > > > > I have a couple questions related to this.

Well it turns out that the telnetd in current was hacked to make this work. :) That's the only diff between the -current and -stable version, and it works just fine patched into -stable with one exception. The file is printed with a stairstep effect because of a missing \r in both branches. My friend patched utility.c to fix the problem. I submitted a PR with it, bin/6492. I'd appreciate it greatly if someone would take a look a that PR and commit it to both -Current (the utility.c fix) and -Stable (both).
