inetutils 2.0.0: telnet client broken

Description

hi,

quick rundown.

gtelnet <ip> no longer works properly on inetutils 2.0.0


GagansMacPro:Downloads Gagan$ gtelnet 192.168.1.1
Trying 192.168.1.1...
Connected to 192.168.1.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
lm_will: not enough room in buffer

whereas 1.9.4_11 works without issue.

btw @Schamschula is there any way to merge my oldest tickets with the new (ugh mandatory) github usernames? i want my old tickets from broly@… associated with this account, if there is no way to recover my non-github account.

Strange error. Upstream fixed a buffer overflow. See: https://www.mail-archive.com/bug-inetutils@gnu.org/msg03077.html

As far as attaching different mail accounts, I don't know what to do there. You may have to get a hold of @neverpanic to do that for you.

experienced this issue in 2.1.0 as well.

hoping it isn't just me as Eric Gallager has added himself to the ticket.

it's a very very strange error. i agree with you it has to be that diff, but i'm at a loss as to why.

it's good to see (maybe not for you, haha ;) ) someone else experiencing the issue, which eliminates my telnetd built for linux but using the apple source with libsd+libpam

This still appears to be a repeatable issue with inetutils 2.2.0.

However, reverting to inetutils 1.9.4_11 it works just fine:

$ gtelnet www.mud2.com 27723
