[Bug 224847] New: telnet man page does not mention DEFAULT for .telnetrc
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=224847 Summary: telnet man page does not mention DEFAULT for .telnetrc Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 4 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: koenig@linux.de QAContact: qa@suse.de I tried to change the telnet escape character globally using ~/.telnetrc. the man page only explains that the 1st element of each line is a hostname which gets matched. all tries using "*" or similar as hostname didn't work:-(. I had to read the telnet source code (commands.c) to know that the magic hostname is spelled DEFAULT: DEFAULT set escape ^\\ is what I was looking for. please add a short note about "DEFAULT" in the man page for others! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
