Telnet is a terminal emulation application designed to allow remote access to machines running the [[telnetd]] [[daemon]].

In recent years the use of ''telnet'' has dramatically reduced with the introduction of the far more secure [[ssh]].

==Common flags==
-l <username> -- used to specify the username to use when logging into the remote machine.
-n <filename> -- used to create a trace file of the ''telnet'' session.

==Example usage==
[light@splat ~]$ '''telnet''' insecure.host.com
Trying 10.0.0.1...
Connected to insecure.host.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
Password:
[light@insecure ~]$ logout
Connection closed by foreign host.
