>Number: 6499 >Category: docs >Synopsis: man page updates for telnetd(8) and gettytab(5) >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-doc >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: change-request >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sun May 3 18:00:02 PDT 1998 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Doug >Organization: AAAG >Release: FreeBSD 2.2.6-STABLE-0502 i386 >Environment: -Current and -Stable >Description: Now that the '/etc/issue-like' file support is added in telnetd, update the man page to reflect that. Also, update the gettytab page to indicate that if= files can also take advantage of the im= formatting codes. >How-To-Repeat: DNA >Fix: Apply the following patches. Note that there is a small difference in gettytab.5 between -Current and -Stable (two lines). Whoever commits this might want to merge that small change first. There's no difference between -Current and -Stable for telnetd.8. --- telnetd.8.Dist Sun May 3 15:43:28 1998 +++ telnetd.8 Sun May 3 17:20:57 1998 @@ -524,10 +524,31 @@ is compiled with support for data encryption, and indicates a willingness to decrypt the data stream. +.Sh NOTES +By default +.Nm +will read the +.Em \&he , +.Em \&hn , +and +.Em \&im +capabilities from /etc/gettytab and use that +information (if present) to determine what to +display before the login: prompt.
