It automatically
logs on using the currently logged on username and password.
NOTE The Windows XP and above versions of Telnet sets Windows NT LAN Manager (NTLM)
authentication on by default. This means that it will always attempt to log on using the currently
logged on username and password. Using this option makes access somewhat automatic. All you
need to do is type Telnet HostName at the command prompt and Telnet connects you, if
you have proper rights. However, this option has two unfortunate side effects. The first is that
you can??™t specify another username and password to log onto the system. The second is that the
NTLM option appears to interfere with operation of some Telnet clients. You can turn off this feature
using the TLNTAdmn utility described in the ???Administrating Telnet with the TLNTAdmn
Utility??? section of the chapter.
-e Modifies the escape character used to enter the Telnet client prompt from a remote session.
Telnet defaults to Ctrl+], which is a good choice because it isn??™t used by anything else.
-f Filename Sets the filename for client-side logging. Using this option also turns client-side
logging on. Client-side logging doesn??™t track the commands you type at the Telnet prompt; they
only record what you??™ve done at the remote terminal connection.
