When I telnet to the localhost on port 3690 I get this output

[pep]$ telnet localhost 3690
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to myrepo (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
/bin/bash: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied
( success ( 1 2 ( ANONYMOUS ) ( edit-pipeline ) ) ) Connection closed by
foreign host.

So what's going on here?

Cheers,
Pep.
