Not always...sometimes the r* commands are blocked at a firewall, but not a telnet. Also, the r* commands can be blocked with rhosts files. Also, at the moment, my connection from home to the net is by way of a "SLiRP" setup on my shell account at work - it presents a PPP server to my home PPP client, but my home system isn't really on The Net. My net accesses appear to come from the work system I dialin to. At any rate, it can pass telnet, but not the r* commands through. At any rate, specifying a username isn't part of the telnet command - it's frequently part of the information conveyed with telnet, but not part of telnet itself. > > 3) wherever else user needs to specify a username & hostname. > > Ditto. Hmmm...I bet you could do something like this: % cd /usr/src % find . -type f -print | xargs grep -f 'getpwnam' or something similar to get a list of places to start looking (for the daemon side username validation?).
