Shell Programming and Scripting

dear all

telnet on our server is disabled for security reasons , if we want to allow telnet for some users , ( maybe 1 or 2 to be able to telnet ) is their any way to do that ??

does anyone have any ideas ?
thanks

Semaan, it is possible. I don't remember how I did it eaxactly.
Can you check the /etc/xinetd.d/telnet file and try tweaking the "user" parameter.
Let me see if I can get something on this.

which is your OS?

btw, why don't you use ssh instead of telnet, ssh is more secure.

sorry in better way :
there is only one user among lot of them how have to go as telnet to use it , the others must stay in sssh , so i just want to know how , and by the wya didn't find the [/code] etc/xinetd.d/telnet [/code]

Try this link...
I don't think as such Solaris provides anything like that...

Or you can lock the password for all other users... ... but remember in that case ftp also will not work for others...
