I had to go look at the libtelnet code, tracing it back to the auth_disable_name() function, then the authtype_names variable defined in arpa/telnet.h: const char *authtype_names[] = { "NULL", "KERBEROS_V4", "KERBEROS_V5", "SPX", "MINK", NULL, "SRA", 0 }; Thus, the strings you can use with -X are NULL, KERBEROS_V4, KERBEROS_V5, SPX, MINK, and SRA. These are independent of what's given to the -a flag (e.g. -a off). I have no idea what the NULL authtype is, but the others make perfect sense. I ran into this situation when setting up dgamelaunch for FreeBSD, and found that telnetd kept asking for SRA authentication when I wanted absolutely no authentication capabilities. This applies to both RELENG_6 and RELENG_7. >How-To-Repeat: n/a >Fix: Document the above authentication types in the manpage. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
