ettylink <host> [<port_number>] loginid password
The ettylink command is similar to the ttylink command ,but it accepts the login id and password to be provided to the <host> system should it request a login id and password. The default port, 87, on a JNOS system does NOT request these, so using ettylink to this port/application is not recommended. The ettylink command is available when JNOS was compiled with #define MD5AUTHENTICATE. Ettylink will encrypt the password if the <host> system supports MD5 authentication (as indicated by a [hex_number] challenge value in its password prompt). If no such challenge is provided, the password is sent "in the clear".
