- Source: netkit-telnet
- Section: net
- Priority: standard
- Maintainer: Debian QA Group <packages@qa.debian.org>
- Standards-Version: 3.9.8
- Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 10~), libncurses-dev, cmake
- Package: telnet
- Architecture: any
- Depends: netbase, ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
- Replaces: netstd
- Provides: telnet-client
- Description: basic telnet client
- The telnet command is used for interactive communication with another host
- using the TELNET protocol.
- .
- For the purpose of remote login, the present client executable should be
- depreciated in favour of an ssh-client, or in some cases with variants like
- telnet-ssl or Kerberized TELNET clients. The most important reason is that
- this implementation exchanges user name and password in clear text.
- .
- On the other hand, the present program does satisfy common use cases of
- network diagnostics, like protocol testing of SMTP services, so it can
- become handy enough.
- Package: telnetd
- Architecture: any
- Priority: optional
- Depends: adduser, openbsd-inetd | inet-superserver, passwd, ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
- Replaces: netstd
- Provides: telnet-server
- Description: basic telnet server
- The in.telnetd program is a server which supports the DARPA telnet interactive
- communication protocol.
- .
- This legacy server should in general be abandoned in favour of a contemporary
- ssh-server, as this implementation only is able to process password and user
- name in clear text. Other variants, like telnetd-ssl and a selection of
- Kerberized TELNET servers, are able to improve on this by providing secure
- forms of authentication and encryption.
