Source: netkit-telnet
Section: net
Priority: standard
Maintainer: Mats Erik Andersson <mats.andersson@gisladisker.se>
Uploaders: Alberto Gonzalez Iniesta <agi@inittab.org>
Standards-Version: 3.9.8
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 9), libncurses-dev
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.
