System: NetBSD t37-112.wrs.com 1.5_ALPHA NetBSD 1.5_ALPHA (GENERIC) #0: Thu Jul 27 21:19:54 PDT 2000 toddpw@t37-112.wrs.com:/usr/toddpw/rnetbsd-1-5/src/sys/arch/sparc/compile/GENERIC sparc
>Description:
When I enable telnetd on a 1.5_ALPHA or 1.5C system and login to them,
interrupt characters like ^C and ^Z are echoed as such but not
acted upon. ^D (eof) is recognized however.
>How-To-Repeat:
enable telnetd on a 1.5_ALPHA or 1.5C system.
telnet in.
run cat, and try to ^C or ^Z it. watch it echo but ignore you.
>Fix:
Workaround: stty -extproc.
1.4.1 shows extproc set in a telnet login, but does not have problems.
1.4.2 also has extproc set, and exhibits a muted form of the problem
(it doesn't print a shell prompt immediately, not sure if it has merely
missed the prompt or if something doesn't happen until I hit return).
