Using TelNetD and Configuring the Users File

[tygre]

Hi all!
I'm a happy Roadshow user that I use on one of my Amiga while the others use Miami

I recently installed TelNetD v2.0 (https://aminet.net/package/comm/tcp/telnetd2_0) on these Amigas without much problem. With Roadshow, I'm facing this problem: whenever I try to connect via telnet to my Amiga, TelNetD Guru 8000 0004

I think that the problem come from my "users" file because its syntax is different from that of AmiTCP or Miami. I put the following but I think that it's wrong and the cause of the Guru:

NAME=tygre PASSWORD=abcdef UID=1 GID=1 DIR=RAM: SHELL=CLI

Could anyone help?
Take care!

Hi all!

I did some more test over the weekend and got something closer to working: I increased the stack to the server description with STACK=65535 and it seems that SHELL in the user file is a switch, not a keyword requiring a value

Now, when I connect with a telnet client to my Amiga, SnoopDOS shows something like that:

Code: Select all

NewSell -DEVICE fakesr.device -UNIT 21

but the telnet client stays "frozen", not showing any prompt or anything.

I saw that there is a DOS switch that I could add to the server description to link the I/O to the TCP stream, but when I use it, Roadshow doesn't allow my telnet client to connect anymore and the NewShell command above doesn't happen.

What am I doing wrong?

Anyone?
PS. I contacted APC&TCP already...

Help?

For the record, Patrik, over on Aminet, found the solution, thanks Patrik!

But Roadshow still seems to behave incorrectly, when compared to Miami

Bye now!
