What were you trying to do?
test the behaviour of telnet/telnetd when making an
unencrypted connection
What went wrong?
when supplied with no options, Athena's telnet binry says:
...trying Athena's default telnet options: "-axF"
however, despite the -x option, unencrypted connections are allowed
Additionally, if I telnet to a machine that requires encrypted
connections and I don't supply any options to telnet, and I
don't have tickets, the connection hangs after reporting tha
tit can't establish encryption. It's not clear to me if this
is telnet or telnetd's fault.
