Trying to search to see if telnet is available for install, but doing "pacman -s telnet" as implied in manpage doesn't work, it just thinks its bad syntax.
Also would like to have some information about it before installing (if its possible). As in the BSD-world, its usually very simple to read the info in the ports-tree about the packet to be installed, before you do it.
Here its just "pacman blabla" and hope for the best.
What I'd like to know is if telnet, if it now is available for install, will just install the client and not the server.
Anyway wont be open from the router, but I dont want any telnet server, just the client.
Many thanks for some help

iphitus@sara:~$ pacman3 -Ss telnet
current/netkit-telnet 0.17-6
A telnet client (and server)
extra/putty 0.58-1
A terminal integrated SSH/Telnet client known from Windows.
pacman -S netkit-telnet
you get the server too, we dont split it. but it won't run by default, so hopefully that isnt a problem for you.
as for information about it, run 'abs' and take a look at /var/abs. Our equivalent of the ports tree.

"pacman -s telnet"
Your syntax error is that should be a capital S.

Not quite, doing
pacman -S telnet
would return
telnet: not found in sync db
His error is he need to add the capital S (sync) to his lower s (search) as in iphitus' reply.
pacman -Ss telnet

That's not a syntax error. ;-)
I was explaining the error; I had assumed iphitus had already covered the original question.

Thanks a lot, seems to work for my needs
Haven't confirmed there is no server running, but I trust its not, and anyway wouldn't be much security risk (I guess) since router only forwards 22 and 80.

server will not start unless you explicitly start it, either by doing /etc/rc.d/telnet start or adding it to your rc.conf yourself.

Install :
pacman -S inetutils
then: telnet host port
Change the title to [SOLVED]

hmm
inetutils from core has a telnet client. maybe thats what the op is looking for.
$ pacman -Qo telnet
/usr/bin/telnet is owned by inetutils 1.8-1

He either gave up, found it, or someone really made his day!
