Re: Replacement for telnet
What I learner from the list is there appears to be no feature reach telnet package available. Ben Logan had a good method of using 'script' for logging all information on the screen. Unfortunately it adds all the control characters in the file. I have not found an easy method of removing the characters. Ed Wilts had suggested using c-kermit. This does more than telnet and is an interesting package. For logging it does the same thing as script, puts all the control characters in the log file as well. Viodit (M. Brown) suggested turning on logging with xterm. Unfortunately Red Hat has disabled this feature and not made it clear how to turn it back on. The man pages says logging is turned off, but does not say how to turn it back on. david ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Then the command line option to turn it on will work. MB -- e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It is God's job to forgive bin Laden. It is our job to set up the meeting. U.S. Marine Corp.

Re: Replacement for telnet
Hi Eric This will work, the problem is trying to identify all the escape sequences. Try running script then run 'ls' and then telnet to another device. You will see a number of different escape sequences. david On Wed, 27 Mar 2002, Eric Wood wrote: I have not found an easy method of removing the characters. try sed -e s/^M// filename newfilename ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: Replacement for telnet
David responded: This will work, the problem is trying to identify all the escape sequences. Try running script then run 'ls' and then telnet to another device. You will see a number of different escape sequences. Actually, as written, it will not work. It will replace all of the M characters at the beginning of any line with nothing, i.e., delete it. You have to have an ACTUAL control-M character in the line. But, besides that, you are correct, the Xterm escape sequences are tough to get rid of, since you have to also get drid of the normal ASCII characters that are part of the escape string. A Perl or Awk script could accomplist that. I'd recompile xterm and turn on the feature.

RE: Replacement for telnet
Well there's exactly what I want and there's good enough. Good enough may be piping your typescript through col -b and then through tr -d '\011' like so: cat typescript | col -b | tr -d '\011' It might be a teeny bit better in conjunction with the knowledge that all those !@#$% colors in your ls output can be disabled by doing ls --color=never instead of just ls. An accurate log of a session should include the control codes, but if what you absolutely have to have is a cooked, text-only version as would be produced by xterm's original logging option, then (as someone else already said i think) you can recompile xterm. :-( Wonder why they chopped that out... -Original Message- From: dbrett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 6:15 AM To: Eric Wood Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Replacement for telnet Hi Eric This will work, the problem is trying to identify all the escape sequences.

Re: Replacement for telnet
A relatively good way of logging telnet is to use telnet within ckermit. Go to http://www.kermit-project.org and download ckermit 8.0. I just finished building and testing this on my 7.1 system. You can make your connection via telnet, ssh, rlogin, ftp, serial, etc and log the session. I had absolutely no issues building it out of the box, run wermit (its default executable name), doing a 'log session' command, connecting via 'telnet localhost', doing some stuff, logging off, and exiting kermit and finally reviewing my session.log to make sure everything worked. kermit has been around forever, always, always works, and should really be installed as part of a base distribution. Its functionality is such that no toolbox should be considered complete without it. Heck, it even does ftp over ssl/tls!
