This brings up a question.
When a person telnets to 'localhost' on their machine shouldn't they get
port 23 by default?
And if you removed 'telnet' from the /etc/services file from port 23 and
put it on 24 would that become the NEW default?
I changed /etc/services file so that port 23 is now looking at
/usr/sbin/node. Something different that 'telnet' And of course I amended
the files in
/etc/xinetd.d so that telnet is still there but related to port 24 now. And
'node' is there , saying that anyone who telnets to this system from afar
or from localhost, should get port 23 unless they specify port 24.
Well - it doesn't work that way. Not exactly. A person from afar telnets
by default to 23. That works, and they get the node.
But if on the same machine, a person telnets to JUST localhost - they get
*telnet*, and not *node*. Of course if they use ' telnet localhost 23' they
get the node.
Without the port identification they get port 24.
I hope this is not too confusing, but I am just wondering about the default
port for telnetting. Isn't port 23 regardless if you are coming in from
afar or from your own machine??
