 |
|
There are so many telnet programs in Gentoo and i don't know what to choose. I want something simple, like the one Windows have, and i want to be able to connect to my second PC, which has FreeBSD installed.
Any ideas? |

Well I use | Code: | | net-misc/netkit-telnetd |
and the telnet client included is simple enough.
| Code: | * net-misc/netkit-telnetd
Size of downloaded files: 155 kB
Homepage: ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/Networking/netkit/
Description: Standard Linux telnet client and server
License: BSD |
Weird huh? A standard _Linux_ client that uses the BSD license. 
There's also the telnet-bsd package, ported from OpenBSD with support for IPv6 | Code: | | emerge net-misc/telnet-bsd |

By gawd! How the heck did I miss that he actually wanted to connect to a FreeBSD box? I must be drunk! 
d0nju4n is of course right! You should use SSH instead of telnet since it is much safer.  |
