An interesting twist to this is that the old method is broken, IE tf
doesn't see the extra options (I think it just ignores it):
By what name do you wish to be known? kris
sent nlh: IAC WILL NAWS
recv nlh: IAC WILL ECHO
sent nlh: IAC DO ECHO
Password:
recv nlh: IAC WONT ECHO
sent nlh: IAC DONT ECHO
^M
with the new bit turned on tf doesn't have a clue about what's been
sent, but just ignores it:
By what name do you wish to be known? kris
sent local2: IAC WILL NAWS
recv local2: IAC WILL ECHO
sent local2: IAC DO ECHO
Password:
recv local2: IAC WONT ECHO
sent local2: IAC DONT ECHO
recv local2: IAC WONT 13
recv local2: IAC WONT 10
^M
for ppl wanting to see this you want to do:
/set emulation=debug
/set telopt=on
Checking on what an lpc mud does, it doesn't try to do the naocrd or
naoffd. I think it also does proper negotiation, and you don't see the
password:
What is your name: root
sent (unnamed4): IAC WILL NAWS
recv (unnamed4): IAC WILL ECHO
sent (unnamed4): IAC DO ECHO
Password:
recv (unnamed4): IAC WONT ECHO
sent (unnamed4): IAC DONT ECHO
recv (unnamed4): IAC WONT ECHO
^M
Cheers,
Chris
