I'd have to verify this, but you should be able to pull down the src/libexec/telnetd directory out of the CVS tree and rebuild it. I can pull this out and put it up for FTP if that would be useful. Log: 1.12 Wed Oct 8 3:10:32 1997 by uhclem CVS Tags: HEAD Diffs to 1.11 PR: bin/771 and bin/1037 are resolved by this change This change changes the default handling of linemode so that older and/or stupider telnet clients can still get wakeup characters like <ESC> and <CTRL>D to work correctly multiple times on the same line, as in csh "set filec" operations. It also causes CR and LF characters to be read by apps in certain terminal modes consistently, as opposed to returning CR sometimes and LF sometimes, which broke existing apps. The change was shown to fix the problem demonstrated in the FreeBSD telnet client, along with the telnet client in Solaris, SCO, Windows '95 & NT, DEC OSF, NCSA, and others. A similar change will be incorporated in the crypto version of telnetd. This resolves bin/771 and bin/1037.
