Folks, Can anyone give me a general pointer to where in telnetd the user is authenticated (assuming normal authentication is being used)? I'm looking at the code in /usr/src/libexec/telnetd Maybe I should ask the meta question: I've got a box which can normally only accessed via ssh. I want to allow telnet access to a specific account (for providing network status). The only way I can think of to accomplish this is to hack the telnet daemon to permit only this one user. Are there any alternatives? Thanks very much, mb --- Mark Boolootian UC Santa Cruz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
