Telnetd returns echo back in "Don't ECHO"

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Telnetd returns echo back in spite of client program sending "Don't Echo". However telnetd always returns echo back in this situation. It seems to be changing from a client by the timing to which "Don't Echo" was sent. We hopes that echo back isn't always done.
  • Could you confirm whether behavior of telnetd is assumed one or a problem? And, please tell me the way which doesn't always do echo back.

  • Cases without echo back *1

client                      server
        <-- Do Echo    ---
        --- Won't Echo -->
        <-- Will Echo  ---
        --- Don't Echo -->
        <-- "login"    ---
  • Cases with echo back *2
client                      server
        <-- Do Echo    ---
        --- Won't Echo -->
        <-- Will Echo  ---
        <-- "login"    ---
        --- Don't Echo -->
