I am being pushed from AIX onto RHEL 6 and after our first 'chuck it on' install, I have a problem. Where is the old (okay insecure) telnet & ftp server? I know that they are probably regarded as archaic now, but the source servers do not have the SSH tools, so I've got to somehow transfer the data.
Apart from this, I have CRT from VanDyke which is very nice, but the company will not pay the upgrade fee to get the SSH version, so that's going to be a pain.
I do have a closed network, so I'm not too worried about packet snooping.
For a 20+ year support of AIX (with forays into and eventually out of Solaris, SCO Unixware, Dynix, TI-UX) & HP-UX, I'm feeling especially vulnerable as I've never been so stuck. Internet searches send me all over the place without a good target.
I don't even have the client side tools installed.
Code:
# time find / -name telnet -o -name ftp
/var/ftp
real 0m0.40s
user 0m0.19s
sys 0m0.20s
# time find / -name telnetd -o -name ftpd
real 0m0.40s
user 0m0.19s
sys 0m0.21s
#
Any suggestions? (without laughing please)
If I can get the executables, I am happy to set up inetd.conf - oh no! Where's that gone now? What's all this almost empty /etc/inittab?
Despair! At least from HP-UX I've got the lvm commands such as vgdisplay.
I was aware of a reference sheet to ease conversions, but I can't seem to find that at the moment either. Maybe I'm just having a bad day.
Hi All,
I need to stop all the services for telnet & FTP as we want our
server to be more secure.
Please give me some steps for jumping to SSH protocol.

Hello all,
I am planning to deploy a configuration / auditing software package for about 100 new nodes that we are planning to install. I am hearing many good things in regards to cfengine and puppet. Can someone shed some light in regards to these solutions?

telnetrc
telnetrc(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual telnetrc(4)NAME
telnetrc, .telnetrc - Specifies setup commands for a telnet session
SYNOPSIS
$HOME/.telnetrc
DESCRIPTION
The .telnetrc file contains the setup information for a telnet session. It is a hidden file in your home directory and must be readable by
the user logging in.
The file can consist of multiple entries for each remote host to which a user can connect. A remote host entry consists of multiple lines.
The first line is the name of a remote host. The subsequent lines must begin with blank spaces, and contain telnet subcommands. These sub-
commands are processed as though they were typed in manually. Lines beginning with a number sign (#) are comment lines. See telnet(1) for
a complete list of telnet subcommands.
To specify subcommands that apply to all systems, create an entry, using the word "DEFAULT" as the system name, and specify the telnet sub-
commands in the subsequent lines.
EXAMPLES
The following shows a sample .telnetrc file:
# Beginning of telnetrc file # Default subcommands that apply to all systems DEFAULT
environ undefine USER # First system entry system1
set echo
toggle crlf # Second system entry system2
set echo
mode line
toggle crlf
FILES
User-customized telnet startup values.
