System name: timesink
Type and version: KN02ca 7.7F (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: PMAG-DV
What were you trying to do?
Log in with encryption on a private workstation running a 7.7 telnetd.
According to the release notes this should work. Previously I was running
ktelnetd (copied off the dialup machines) instead of /etc/athena/telnetd, and
it worked.
What's wrong:
With ktelnetd, a 'telnet -safe timesink' used to work, and give the
proper feedback:
navigator> telnet -safe timesink
Trying 18.81.0.77...
Connected to timesink.MIT.EDU.
Escape character is '^]'.
[ Trying KERBEROS4 ... ]
[ Kerberos V4 accepts you ]
[ Kerberos V4 challenge successful ]
What you type is protected by encryption.
Password:
It would give the encryption notice, and prompt for a password. Then login
would proceed normally. The line in my inetd.conf file looked like this:
telnet stream tcp nowait unswitched \
root /usr/local/ktelnetd telnetd -a off
Under the new release, I replaced this with the standard telnetd:
telnet stream tcp nowait unswitched \
root /etc/athena/telnetd telnetd
But when I tried a 'telnet -safe timesink', while I got the Kerberos
messages, I'm not prompted for a password anymore, but rather logged in
without kerberos tickets...
navigator> telnet -safe timesink
Trying 18.81.0.77...
Connected to timesink.MIT.EDU.
Escape character is '^]'.
[ Trying KERBEROS4 ... ]
[ Kerberos V4 accepts you ]
[ Kerberos V4 challenge successful ]
Warning: No Kerberos tickets obtained.
What should have happened:
I should have gotten the "What you type is protected by encryption."
message, been prompted for a password, and gotten tickets.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
7.7 release notes, section 3.2. telnetd man page.
Thanks,
