Hi all,
My desktop machine has a .telnetrc file with the following setting:
DEFAULT environ define TERM xterm
This is to ensure that the xterm-color setting I usually use is not
transmitted during telnet sessions to machines that don't understand it.
However, telnetting to a Solaris machine (5.7, 5.8) I see that
although the TERM variable is transmitted, the value seems to be
converted to upper case :
$ env
TERM=XTERM
The telnetd man page states :
"The terminal type name received from the remote client is converted to
lower case."
This is evidently not the case (pun intended :).
Is this a bug in telnetd?
This behaviour is not seen on other UNIXs (FreeBSD).
