Topic: Telnet session to admin.

[Marco Ruiter]

Hello,

Is it possible to do a telnet session to the e-smith server so i can tweak a around in the /etc dir. Make some squid log file ajustments and control the porn sites.

With kind regards,

Marco Ruiter

Sure, it's possible--you log in as root, of course, with the admin password.  Under "security" on the e-smith manager, set telnet access to "private".  However, if you're modifying configuration files, your better bet would be to change the templates so the changes will survive when you later change something else.  The templates are in /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/...
