Question how to stop telnet access to AIX box
how do I remove telnet access to my AIX (5.3) machine? I just want people (admins) to connect to the box using ssh?

Thanks.

you need to stop telnet-daemon.

that would prevent any new telnet sessions from spawning

Code:
stopsrc -t telnet

This command allows all pending connections to start and existing connections to complete but prevents new connections from starting.
