: telnet doesn't give you a banner *telling* you what it did, in current
: versions; however, if you do ^] enc status, it should say:
:
: telnet> enc stat
: Currently encrypting output with DES_CFB64
: Currently decrypting input with DES_CFB64
:
: which should be clear (and isn't spoofable the way a normal message
: would be.) There are some improvements to this (on v5 anyway) in the
: pipeline.
Upon connecting to one of my machines running the CNS distribution.
telnet> enc stat
Currently input is clear text.
Last decryption mode was DES_CFB64
The telnet session was started after the appropriate kinit using the
command:
/usr/kerberos/bin/telnet -x -a slowpoke
