Can Telnet in Linux 8.0 be restricted for users
Hi,

I want to create a user and allow its to be able to have telnet session like what you have in the ftp allow and deny. Is this possible

Thanx.

If you can, err away from using telnet altogether and use ssh instead. Then, if you have a look at the manual page for the sshd_config file (the file itself is usually /etc/sshd_config), you'll find that you can allow/deny users, groups, etc access to sshd.

Telnet is inherently insecure and should be avoided if at all possible.

Cheers

Hi ZB,

How then would l use ssh from a client workstation using windows OS. Since this command is unrecognized by windows.

Thanx
