How would I attempt to create an automatic login on Telnet?
We have a linux box, where we have people to connecting to it, so they can telnet to a client of ours (On AIX,). Is there anyway I can have it automatically have them login without the username & password prompting on the AIX machine via a bash script or similar?
Libraries have the problem all the time, for public access to catalogue systems.
There are two common possibilities:
1) Get telnetd to call an alternative login program
which doesn't ask for a userid/password (autologin,
qlogin) and does everything else the login does.
The shell for that user is the application you
want to run. 2) Alter the PAM configuration so that all telnetting
users are authorised as a particular user/group.
The shell for that user is the application you
want to run.The shell isn't a normal program. There are a few shell wrappers which will do these additional things and then call a normal program, such as a library catalogue.
