I am NOT using the modified telnet that is in the /test directory. Running Centos 5.2 and HIPL in userspace.On the server, modified /etc/xinetd.d/telnet so it is not disabled and set the IPv6 flag.
On the client ran: hipconf run normal telnet server.testwhere in /etc/hosts, server.test has the server's IPv6 address, and /etc/hip/hosts has the HIT for server.test.
Further I have NOT allowed port 23 in ip6tables, rather I am just running hipfw with -Aid params.
So I have a working alternative to SSH with userid login. Not as good server protection, as right now any HIP client can hit Telnet on that system....
First working IPv6 app, though.
