I'm have the box setup as a server-gateway. I ='m trying to setup remote access into a specified port (ie, 5150) from the internet and have it redirect (or bind) to my internal lan NIC to another host port 23. This would basically be a telnet redirect but I want it secured by 1-port number (leaving port 23 incoming open for actual server access) and 2-by remote ip address list.
Is this possible? I tried to modify xinetd.conf and , just as a test, changed the service telnet by adding the lines only_from and redirect_to. It didn't work for me. Obviously I'm new to this and maybe xinted sin't even what I need to do this.
Thank you.

I think what are wanting to do is covered here:
http://myezserver.com/docs/mitel/ipportfw-howto.html
It sounds like a case of port mapping. Then let your internal machine do the access restrictions. However, can you use SSH rather than telnet? Far more secure.

I was thinking more along the lines of a psuedo firewall type of setup with xinetd. Where I could route incoming telnet (ssh) requests to the internal nic to an internal host. BTW, I couldn't get the portfowarding to work, but I'll try again when I can dig more into it. The docs say I should have a link in my server-manager once thr RPM is installed, but alas, nothing changes.
