A bad solution to this might be to change the services file to put telnet on a different port. Otherwise, yes, on older versions, changing the inetd and passing it a HUP would be better.
Alternately you could have a 2nd SSH daemon with separate config listening on another port that only allows connection from 1 or more IP addresses for troubleshooting.

I need to change the security on our AIX servers and disable telnet from all but certain IP addresses.
I have hashed the telnet line in /etc/inetd.conf and added filter rules for those IP adds to allow access on port 23, but this didn't work.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks. (2 Replies)

micro_proxy
micro_proxy(8) System Manager's Manual micro_proxy(8)
NAME
micro_proxy - really small HTTP/HTTPS proxy
SYNOPSIS
micro_proxy
DESCRIPTION
micro_proxy is a very small HTTP/HTTPS proxy. It runs from inetd, which means its performance is poor. But for low-traffic sites, it's
quite adequate. It implements all the basic features of an HTTP/HTTPS proxy, in only 260 lines of code.
To install it, add a line like this to /etc/inetd.conf:
webproxy stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/micro_proxy micro_proxy
Make sure the path to the executable is correct. Then add a line like this to /etc/services:
webproxy port/tcp
Change "port" to the port number you want to use - 3128, or whatever. Then restart inetd by sending it a "HUP" signal, or rebooting.
On some systems, inetd has a maximum spawn rate - if you try to run inetd services faster than a certain number of times per minute, it
assumed there's either a bug of an attack going on and it shuts down for a few minutes. If you run into this problem - look for syslog
messages about too-rapid looping - you'll need to find out how to increase the limit. Unfortunately this varies from OS to OS. On Free-
BSD, you add a "-R 10000" flag to inetd's initial command line. On some Linux systems, you can set the limit on a per-service basis in
inetd.conf, by changing "nowait" to "nowait.10000".
