I've noticed that running most DOS commands via telnet using *xinetd*
produced no output. Runing DOS commands via telnet using *inetd* works as
expected and DOES produce the expected output. For instance, in telnet via
inetd, typing:
net help
produces the following output:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
- net help
The syntax of this command is:
NET HELP command
-or-
NET command /HELP
Commands available are:
NET ACCOUNTS NET HELP NET SHARE
NET COMPUTER NET HELPMSG NET START
NET CONFIG NET LOCALGROUP NET STATISTICS
NET CONFIG SERVER NET NAME NET STOP
NET CONFIG WORKSTATION NET PAUSE NET TIME
NET CONTINUE NET PRINT NET USE
NET FILE NET SEND NET USER
NET GROUP NET SESSION NET VIEW
NET HELP SERVICES lists the network services you can start.
NET HELP SYNTAX explains how to read NET HELP syntax lines.
NET HELP command | MORE displays Help one screen at a time.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In telnet via xinetd, their is NO output from the same command:
-------------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
- net help
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
-
-------------------------------------------------------
Also, if you run a DOS shell via telnet through inetd, you can see the output
of unix/cygwin commands:
____________________________________________________________________________________

Output of same pwd command when run via telnet through xinetd:

Is this a known issue? Is this a bug? or is there some configuration thing I
have to do??
