Open the /etc/inetd.conf file in an editor of your choice. Search for the line that contains info for the telnet services. Comment that line out (by inserting a '#' as the very first character of that line). Then run this command:
Code:
pkill -HUP inetd

Note that you have to be root to do this.

i see this line.

#telnet stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/in.telnetd in.telnetd

if i run this command, do i kill ftp also?

Thanks

Is this the only line in the inetd.conf that refers to telnet? If yes, then telnet is already disabled on your system. Can you try connecting to your system using telnet? And about the ftp, you have to # out that line too if you want to disable it.

another way
you can also try:

svcs telnet

if it shows telnet is enabled , then disable it with the following command:

svcadm disable telnet

(note: This command is only for Solaris 10) Smilie

I used Solaris 8. I'll keep in mind.

Thanks a lots.

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)
