Problem
Strange behavior with the telnet command, like:
- Cannot enter password while on a VMS or Tru64 installation,
- During operating system installation all answers are repeated,
- Input is echoed (including passwords),
- Escape sequence is not interpreted,
- Arrow keys are not functional
Solution
Use the character mode within the telnet session
This can be done two ways: - Temporary setup (if the session is already active)
Press the telnet escape character: ^] by default ( CTRL + ] ). You can change the escape character by using the -e option Example: # telnet -e ² myhost port
|
. Define character mode at telnet prompt: .
Permanent setup with .telnetrc settings (before running the telnet session) # vi $HOME/.telnetrc
DEFAULT
mode char
:wq
# telnet myhost port
