Package: krb5-clients
Version: 1:1.0.1-4
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
Just installed the krb5-clients, and debian using the telnet from it,
instead of the plain netkit telnet.
While using telnet, I saw a strange double line error (paranoia on).
After a quick security check I got the answer, this is the behavior
of telnet.krb. But why?
Example:
netkit# telnet.netkit 127.0.0.1 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
krb5# telnet 127.0.0.1 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
Why is that second line there? It just horrifies me, that a simple
program acts strange...

Somehow this bug was left behind so closing it now.
Kind regards,
