Restricting Telnet to IPs
Dear Experts,

Is it possible to restrict telnet to specific ips in Digital Unix

Thanks

yes it is possible. you need tcp wrapper
installed on your system.

then configure
/etc/host.allow to only allow telnet for certain ip address.

you may also want to deny other traffic this can be done in /etc/host.deny
