Package: inetutils-telnetd Version: 1.9.2.39.3a460-3 Severity: normal It was recently observed by the upstream developer, after a bug report, that the telnet server is unable to hand the user name over to login(1), when not using Kerberos authentication, which whould be need when the client desires autologin.
This means that even when autologin is asked for, the client will still have to repeat his login name before seeing the prompt for his password. Thus this is of no security matter, only a minor nuisance for the remote client. Upstream's development tree has been updated with a solution.
