Thus spake Jan Beck (jan@janbeck.com): > I am writing a small server that accepts telnet connections. I am trying to > disable the display of the password, but am unable to do so. What do I have > to do to disable the echoing of the password? Read the RfC, it is: IAC DONT ECHO NUL, which means "Interprete as Command, Don't ECHO, termination of command". Send the values: 255 253 1 0 To the server. Do reenable echo, send "DO" instead of "DONT" . I don't remember, which command is "DO", but it should be one of 250-254, irrc.
