Re: telnet access control

I'm not sure about linux, but i know that in DigitalUnix (or Tru64 as it's now called), you have to add "ptys" to the /etc/securettys file...perhaps that can carry over to linux. let me know if this works -igor --- venu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hi all !! > > the default config on most unices

look at /etc/login.defs and /etc/seuretty

telnet access control

hi all !! the default config on most unices restricts "root" login via telnet... how is this done ? i have done it once before.. but don't remember how...is it thru inetd.conf ? and if i need to restrict number of simultaneous logins (total and for a particular user).. how do i do it ? thanks in
