Disable Password The -b option will disable the user/password query in pro- grams TELNET, RTELNT, RPTLNT, FTP, RFTP, CNCT, RCNCT, RPCNCT, MAIL, and MMAIL. Local users normally are not required to use passwords when activating TELNET, FTP, or CNCT. The MAIL and MMAIL programs and the network server programs RTELNT, RFTP, and RCNCT should not specify the -b option for security reasons.
