Thank you for the information. I have now disabled inetd. I really think it is a big mistake to even think about using either telnet or rlogin in this day and age. These so-called services are so full of holes to be useless. Since you now have the ssh tools installed by default, I think you need to give special consideration to disabling these other tools. At least you should disable all r* services and telent by default. I suppose you can leave ftp running, but it probably should go too since someone can instead run sftp. I suppose you rely on the secure research network to allow you to run the various rlogin and rsh junk. Even so, anyone outside of research.att.com needs to be worried about enabling these things.
The initial installation on windoze2000 apparantly failed for some reason which I have not explored. I may get enough time to inspect the logs some time in the future. /Joe > -----Original Message----- > From: Glenn Fowler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, March 31, 2008 10:38 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Joseph Kelsey; uwin-users@research.att.com > Subject: RE: [uwin-users] crypto10.dll missing in 2008-03-24 > > > ums is the uwin service for setuid/setgid > > to disable inetd comment out this line in /etc/rc > /etc/inetd > > On Mon, 31 Mar 2008 10:32:15 -0700 Joseph Kelsey wrote: > > It took a LONG time to stop all UWIN processes.
