But it is getting invoked. Further same thing is happring in Solaris 9 as well.

You need to restart or reload the inetd/xinetd process so that it reads the new inetd.conf or inetd.d files.. You can also give a kill -HUP to the inetd/xinetd process.

Allow telnet in AIX from specific IP adds, but disable for everyone else

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)
