You can get ktelent to core dump under Solaris 2.4 by doing the
following:
Using gdb, it becomes apparent that someone is trying to print the
null pointer, a no-no under Solaris. If you follow things through,
the offending code is in src/appl/telnet/telnet/commands.c.
Thanks for reporting this. This bug is already known, and fixed in our
sources. It's a generic telnet bug that's in the BSD sources as well.
The next release will come shiped with the simple expedient of adding
the following code encrypt_cmd:
if (argc < 2) {
fprintf(stderr,
"Need an argument to 'encrypt' command. 'encrypt ?' for help.\n");
return 0;
}
(A similar fix is needed for the auth command as well.)
