Package: busybox Version: 1.27.2-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear Maintainers, Please consider enabling telnetd in the busybox package. A tiny and trivial patch to set the config is attached inline. A rebuild with that change seems to work fine. As much as I wish it wasn't the case, telnet is still widely used, especially in the ISP/telco world. Telcos networking engineers expect to be able to telnet into boxes in their network even today. Having telnetd available without having to rebuild busybox would be extremely handy when using Debian (or derivatives) in small boxes (eg: arm64) inside a telecommunication provider's network. Thanks! -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi From b9a2c82b4120a698b6350c7550f5286008892f2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luca Boccassi <bluca@debian.org> Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2017 17:05:12 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Enable telnetd --- debian/config/pkg/deb | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/debian/config/pkg/deb b/debian/config/pkg/deb index 290205d99..73428dc5b 100644 --- a/debian/config/pkg/deb +++ b/debian/config/pkg/deb @@ -903,8 +903,8 @@ CONFIG_TELNET=y CONFIG_FEATURE_TELNET_TTYPE=y CONFIG_FEATURE_TELNET_AUTOLOGIN=y CONFIG_FEATURE_TELNET_WIDTH=y -# CONFIG_TELNETD is not set -# CONFIG_FEATURE_TELNETD_STANDALONE is not set +CONFIG_TELNETD=y +CONFIG_FEATURE_TELNETD_STANDALONE=y # CONFIG_FEATURE_TELNETD_INETD_WAIT is not set CONFIG_TFTP=y # CONFIG_TFTPD is not set -- 2.11.0
