  • Telnet Door...

    From Bucko@21:4/131 to All on Sat May 9 13:15:55 2020
    Anyone using TelnetDoor by R&M Software for RLOGIN out?? Is there a way to
    send a password also in addition to the USERNAME?? There is the -Y option
    which sends the username but I don't see a password option.. Anyone have any ideas??

    I believe -X is the password, -Y is the username, and -Z is terminal type.

    Yep. He's got options scattered between his GitHub and just doing a
    telnetdoor /?

    https://github.com/rickparrish/TelnetDoor/tree/master/bin/Release

    Although he lists -X as the client username, I think most people use it to
    pass a password.

    Technically rlogin doesn't pass a password, but yeah as maskreet said
    people in bbsing use the client username as a password.

    Tenser could probably tell us about rlogin better than me, I started
    using Linux etc after SSH was the thing to use.

    I'm not sure how traditionaly rlogin is authenticated, but my guess is
    via ip address much like NFS.

    Thanks for the info Andrew, It is much appreciated... Trying to get Virtual Advanced BBS to RLOGIN out to a file server I have setup so I can share the file base.. Turning out a lot tougher then I imagined.. Jeez.. That's what I get for wanting to add a "different" BBS to my stable.. ;)
