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.

Try tcp wrapper.

Why not to use OpenSSH with AIX rathar than legacy telent which introduce more functionality in conjunction with tcpwrappers , if telnet is not mandatory .
