2/13 How is telnetd configured to disallow logins? It seems to allow all
in the hosts.allow file. (here on Soda)
\_ man skey.access
\_ In general you can just comment it out in /etc/inetd.conf.
Or just don't run inetd at all...
\_ i'm not a complete moron, i know how to turn off telnetd.
what i want to know was how/why SODA still runs it. -TOP
\_ I'm guessing that its for ftp, pop and imap support.
\_ those are why inetd is still running (which i assume you
meant). telnetd is still running because it's super 1337.
Also, it allows for use of s/key, for when your dog eats
your ssh client and washes it down with toilet water.

\_ s/key? is that like Stanfurds SRP telnet?
\_ No. SRP is much cooler, despite being from
Stanford. ;)
\_ the best way is to not run inetd at all.
\_ Are you implying that SODA is NOT doing it the BEST way!?!
\_ Yes.
\_ are you implying that you do NOT have a sense of humour?
\_ NO! |
