Sorry for the simple rookie question, but how do you temporarily
disable telnet logins in AIX4.3?

Thanks!

Or
touch /etc/nologin

Remove file nologin afterwards it also will be removed during boot.
Remember when the file exists nobody other from root can login..

If you are trying to prevent a _particular_ user from telnetting into
the system.  Preventing telnets in general is a little more
complicated.  In that case, you have to disable the telnetd process.  It
can be done manually via "smit subserver", "Stop a subserver", & select
telnet.  You can automate it in a script by "stopsrc -t telnet."

Thanks all! I should have specified, but this is exactly what I
needed...
