For link local addresses, you need to specify interface otherwise routing
table doesn't
know which interface to use while sending the packet (unless you have
default route).
telnet doesn't accept arg about interface. You should try site/global
address instead.

Hello,

I am using the USAGI stable 20030214 kit to run the telnet command,
if failed with "Invalid argument". Both the in.telnetd and telnet commands
are IPv6 version from the USAGI kit. For example,

telnet fe80::240:5ff:fe34:d97f -l username

I use "strace" to debug and found it failed on socket "connect" system
call.

Any idea?

Yang
