HP-UX telnet to Solaris

xenomage · #1 (**permalink**) 08-08-2007

Hi,

i have a strange problem.

i have a HP-UX which is used to telnet to two solaris machine via port 11000. On the solaris machines, there's an application that sends a series of ascii character separated by LF over to the the HP-UX. The problem is that when the HP-UX connects to solaris A, the data that that is received has random CRLF as the separator but on solaris B there's only LF.

Is there a setting somewhere in the HP or solaris that i can look into solving this? Any suggestions is appreciated.

Thanks.

Telnet uses the telnet protocol to negotiate settings between the client and server such as whether to echo, the crlf mappings etc. Telnetd provides the server side of this protocol.

Using telnet to talk to a server that is not actually using the telnet protocol may result in strange characters appearing in the stream.
