How you limit logins on the console and how you limit remote logins can be handled in different ways. Limiting console logins is pretty useless in my opinion, because if someone has physical access, console login limits are the least of your worries. > but there are situations one could > only use telnet... Perhaps if the machine you were trying to login to exists in 1988 and you had a time machine, then telnet would be necessary, I suppose. In situations where one could only use telnet, one should use telnet to login and then immediately install sshd and remove telnetd. -- Andy Bakun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ tsl-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trustix.org/mailman/listinfo/tsl-discuss
