Can anyone help with an FTP,telnet and rlogin problem please?
I don't know how allow only some users, or groups to have a connection with
ftp, telnet and rlogin on a redhat 5.1

Thanks

man hosts.allow

Or perhaps you meant that the users should not have shell access at all, in
which
case you would set their password shell entry to /dev/null or /bin/nologin or
some
such.

Redhat uses WU-FTP which has configuration files in "/etc" called -

ftpaccess
ftpconversions
ftpgroups
ftphosts
ftpusers

I think you are probably interested in "ftpgroups" and "ftpusers".

You can use the "host.allow" and "host.deny" files to control user rlogin/telnet.

    on HP-UX 10.20 you have to edit the /etc/inet.sec file, try this.
