<H1>mblogin - Unix login replacement for MBSE BBS.</H1>
@@ -41,6 +42,45 @@ login, not even root. If you change it in the file
<code>/opt/mbse/etc/login.defs</code> you may allow user <strong>mbse</strong>
to login. I advice against it, you should use <strong>ssh</strong> if you want
remote access to do maintenance.

<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.
