On Saturday October 4, 1997, Chip Marshall <chip@jlc.net> had this to say about "S/Key and popper": > I work for an ISP, and we are trying to tighten our security a bit. > For our mail server, we are restricting access to telnetd using > tcp_wrappers, but would also like to force S/Key instead of normal > passwords. However, our customers mostly check their mail using > standard passwords and know nothing of S/Key. I was wondering how > to go about permiting normal passwords from popper, but not any > other service (telnetd and such.) Can anyone help me? The problem with this is that lusers often use the same password for mail and telnet/ftp/web/etc.. If one is unencrypted and sniffable, why waste time on the others (at least as far as S/Key, Kerberos, etc). -- John-David Childs (JC612) Enterprise Internet Solutions System Administrator @denver.net/Internet-Coach/@ronan.net & Network Engineer 1031 S. Parker Rd. #I-8 Denver, CO 80231 As of this^H^H^H^H next week, passwords will be entered in Morse code.
