Multiple telnet sessions
« on: March 21, 2020, 06:49:43 PM »
Hi,
    I'd like to do multiple independent telnet sessions to my Tiny core installation.

The problem I'm facing is that if do a single telnet session to Tiny core, it works fine but if I launch another telenet session, the last one is an echo of the first: I see echoed all the commands typed in the first one.

I was able to modify the Tiny core boot with the option multivt and it works (locally) as expected: I have the multi independent Vts without any problem. I would like to achieve the same behavior with telnet sessions.

My configuration: Lubuntu 18.04 running GNS3, with Virtualbox 5 multiple Tiny core 4.47 VMs.

What can I do to have multiple remote telnet sessions?

Thanks in advance, Epg

Well, I "solved" the problem using the screen, which is a screen manager with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation embedded in Busybox.

tc@box:~$ screen
then my commands (like tcpdump) and when I need a new console, ctrl+a then c opens a blank console. To go switch back to the first console, ctrl+a then p. More details here: linux.die.net/man/1/screen

Bye, Epg.
