Data Call Telnet From Within A Shell?
Hi there,


I got a big problem.
For one of our customers I did a website (php) that connects to another machine "A" (server) to machine "B" via expect.

Now he wants that after the the connection with "B" is established, a telnet connection to "C" is opened, and some commands are executed. The results need to be retrieved too.

The problem is, it's not so easy to start telnet from a shell, since you only can give the username with it when its started but not the password. We don't have any permissions to install anything on "B" nor "C"; we could put a script on "B" though to connect with "C".

Does anyone have a shell skript that connects to another machine via telnet? Or a php skript which connects from "A" to "B" to "C"?

Any ideas on this? I'm going nuts about this ...


Thanks for your help!


Steff

systemd-machine-id-setup

SYSTEMD-MACHINE-ID(1)					     systemd-machine-id-setup					     SYSTEMD-MACHINE-ID(1)

NAME

       systemd-machine-id-setup - Initialize the machine ID in /etc/machine-id

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-machine-id-setup

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-machine-id-setup may be used by system installer tools to initialize the machine ID stored in /etc/machine-id at install time with
       a randomly generated ID. See machine-id(5) for more information about this file.

       This tool will execute no operation if /etc/machine-id is already initialized.

       If a valid D-Bus machine ID is already configured for the system the D-Bus machine ID is copied and used to initialize the machine ID in
       /etc/machine-id.

       If run inside a KVM virtual machine and a UUID is passed via the -uuid option this UUID is used to initialize the machine ID instead of a
       randomly generated one. The caller must ensure that the UUID passed is sufficiently unique and is different for every booted instanced of
       the VM.

       Similar, if run inside a Linux container environment and a UUID is set for the container this is used to initialize the machine ID. For
       details see the documentation of the Container Interface[1].

OPTIONS

       This tool does not take any options or arguments.

EXIT STATUS

       On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
