I know I can turn off Telnet, but I can't do that here, *I* would have no
way in. This is a co-located FTP server and Telnet is MY only way in,
plus the techs at our ISP need it (I think). I don't even know if SSH is
available to me. I've never used it and most of my access is from a Win98
machine at the office.
So the question now becomes, can I deny Telnet service to selected users?
(In case you have missed the original message, this is a Red Hat V5.2 box.)
