Title: telnet
Post by: atlantis on April 27, 2004, 05:07:58 PM

hi,

I'm using SME 6 and need temporary telnet access, but I can't find a possibility to enable it anywhere in the server manager. There used to be this possibility in 5.5 and 5.6, where has it gone? Right now any telnet connection is refused.

Please tell me how to enable it.

Regards
Martin

Atlantis

In your server manager on the left hand side is REMOTE ACCESS under the heading SECURITY

Click that and you should be able to enable Secure Shell settings. Once you have configured that use soemthing like putty to SSH into your server rather than telnet.

I haven't done this in a while, but I tested telnet under 6.0

enable telnet access via private network on SME 6.0

/sbin/e-smith/config settype telnet service
/sbin/e-smith/config setprop telnet status enabled
/sbin/e-smith/config setprop telnet PermitRootLogin yes
/sbin/e-smith/config setprop telnet access private
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/xinetd.conf

you should now see in /etc/xinetd.conf a line for telnet

you may have to edit /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/hosts.allow
in.telnetd : 127.0.0.1, x.x.x.x/x.x.x.x

 /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/hosts.allow   
 /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart


GL,

JB

Hi JB,

Well this is actually deeper than I wanted to dig... I think it's overkill for the moment as I have chosen another way now. But I will save your hints just in case...
