Title: How to use telnetd
Post by: mbertrand on August 26, 2013, 09:32:19 AM

I have currently vsftpd and openssh installed and working for a long time. They come from separate packages openssh.tcz and vsftpd.tcz. Now I want to install telnetd but can't find it in repos. I saw some posts about inetutils-servers.tcz but I don't want the other servers that come with it because I already have them installed and running. I also saw that buzybox may have telnetd?
Can someone clarify this for me?
Thanks.

Hi mbertrand
Busybox does offer  telnetd  but it is not compiled in in the Tinycore version.

Ok so the only option is to use the inetutils-servers.tcz ?

Or you can compile busybox with only telnetd; or any other telnet server, of course.

Hi mbertrand
That is the only extension in the repo that contains  telnetd. If you feel the other servers included in  inetutils-servers.tcz
will cause a problem, turn  /usr/local/sbin/telnetd  into a custom extension.

Sorry but I'm not familiar with inet, what do you mean a "custom extension"?

Hi mbertrand
Unsquash  inetutils-servers.tcz, remove any servers you don't want, then squash whats left back into an extension.
The Wiki has more info on creating extensions.
