Chapter 10. HIP Enabled Telnet

We have modified netkit-telnet from usagi (www.linux-ipv6.org) to support native HIP API. HIP is a compile time option, so that you can see the required modifications to the code (ifdef USE_HIP). Here's how you compile the telnet applications:

Before actually using the telnet, you should build and "insmod" the HIP kernel module. It is needed for telnet because it uses the native API (and not the legacy APIs). After that, you can experiment with telnet as follows:

Note: the username must be non-root.

There is a limitation in the current version of the native API. It does not support wildcard addresses at the server. This means that you have to select the correct HIT at the client.
