1.6 How to start mbsebbs from inetd?
|

|

A: You need to change the file /etc/inetd.conf. Change the line with
|
||||
telnetd on it, on Linux:
|
||||
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd -L /opt/mbse/bin/mblogin
|
||||
on FreeBSD:
|
||||
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/telnetd telnetd -p /opt/mbse/bin/mblogin
|
||||
It may differ on some systems. After changing this file do a kill -HUP to
|
||||
the inetd process and try.

A: This is described in the documentation of the mblogin program.

<H3>How to use from telnetd.</H3>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
If your system is connected to the internet you may want to let users login
|
||||
using telnet. The changes you need to make are different for each operating
|
||||
system mbse supports.
|
||||
I will only describe how to use it from inetd, not xinetd.
|
||||
When you make changes to your system to
|
||||
change the telnet login, make sure you are already logged into your system as root
|
||||
from another terminal. If you make a mistake and can't login anymore you will be
|
||||
glad that you are still logged in on another terminal. Here are the tested
|
||||
setups:
|
||||
<UL>
|
||||
<LI>Linux: edit the telnet line in /etc/inetd.conf:<BR>
|
||||
<code>telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd -L /opt/mbse/bin/mblogin</code><br>
|
||||
After changing this file do a <b>kill -HUP pid</b> where pid is the pid of the
|
||||
inetd process.
|
||||
<LI>FreeBSD: edit the telnet line in /etc/inetd.conf:<BR>
|
||||
<code>telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/telnetd telnetd -p /opt/mbse/bin/mblogin</code><br>
|
||||
After changing this file do a <b>kill -HUP pid</b> where pid is the pid of the
|
||||
inetd process.
|
||||
<LI>NetBSD: append a line in /etc/gettytab just below the line with the default
|
||||
entry:<br>
|
||||
<code>mbsebbs:cd:ck:np:lo=/opt/mbse/bin/mblogin:sp#38400:</code><br>
|
||||
The speed entry 38400 doesn't seem to be important.
|
||||
Then edit the telnet line in /etc/inetd.conf:<BR>
|
||||
<code>telnetd stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/telnetd telnetd -g mbsebbs</code><br>
|
||||
After changing this file do a <b>kill -HUP pid</b> where pid is the pid of the
|
||||
inetd process.
|
||||
</UL>
|
||||
Now you can test it with <code>telnet localhost</code> or from another machine
|
||||
with <code>telnet your.machine.com</code>. Check if you can still do other
|
||||
logins such as ssh, rlogin and login on local consoles.
