Bug 28381

Summary: Can't turn off telnet autologin
Product: Base System Reporter: gburditt <gburditt>
Component: binAssignee: freebsd-bugs (Nobody) <bugs>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me

Description gburditt 2001-06-24 02:00:00 UTC 
	Between 4.1.1-RELEASE and 4.3-RELEASE, telnet seems to have
	acquired the highly obnoxious characteristic of sending
	a (usually WRONG, but it doesn't really have the info to guess
	correctly) user name automatically when trying to log in.

	The following commands in .telnetrc don't seem to fix the problem
	(but documentation suggests that they should):

	unset autologin
	auth disable sra
	auth disable null
	environ undefine USER
	environ undefine LOGNAME

	I am also curious why:
	sot noprecognition
	didn't provoke an error message.  (Yes, "sot", not "set", I
	mistyped it on the first try.)

	Also, telnet -X sra doesn't fix it, and telnet -X autofuck 
	doesn't even provoke an error message (and I hope there isn't
	an autofuck authentication method to disable).

Fix: 

I think reinstalling the binary from FreeBSD 4.1.1 would work.
How-To-Repeat: 
	

	telnet <hostname>

	In most tests the target system is running FreeBSD 3.2 with
	its version of telnetd.

Hi,

does this problem still exists in a recent FreeBSD 4-STABLE system?

Thanks

autologin was changed to the default. 
Your method of disabling autologin was incorrect.  Put in your .telnetrc 
DEFAULT 
auth disable sra 
(note space in front of the auth line, this is required)
