I certainly agree about removing inherently insecure daemons/utilities altogether, preferably through configuration management tooling if there are many servers (I use ansible for Solaris) so that it stays removed.

Hello all,
Here is what I am trying to do. If a user exist, then send an echo "EXIST" or else "DOES NOT EXIST". (under HP-UX)
Kind of:
#!/usr/bin/sh
USER=mylogin
finger $USER
if $? = 0
then
echo "EXIST""
else
echo "DOES NOT EXIST"

Hi All,
I want to disable telnet on the startup of solaris 8-10 but still wants for a standby purposes. In case I need to troubleshoot ssh, I can connect thru telnet.
Most solution on the internet is to permanently removed it.

On Solaris 8 is there anyway to disable telnet for a particular user and not for entire system altogether?
I would like the user to retain a shell and so creating a noshell like ftp account is not an option. (14 Replies)

7. AIX
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)
