A/UX 3.1 - Wheres the telnet daemon?

[gavo]

So,

After having done basically nothing with this since I built it, I decided tonight to get back into it. Unfortunately for me, the box is on the floor, under a desk, in a very crowded room - so not the easiest to work on directly. No problem I thought, I'll just telnet to it - this will be fine because I need to follow through on all the recommendations in the FAQ which are mostly shell driven.

But wheres the telnet daemon? /etc/services shows no sign of it, and a "find / -name telnet -print" only finds me the telnet client app in /usr/bin. I know I've been drinking - but am I missing something?

I suppose this could be a good reason to download and install the SSH package, but telnet would do me just fine - if I could figure out how to enable / install it

Any pointers appreciated

Cheers,

IIRC, the name of the daemon binary is "in.telnetd". Try "find / -name "*telnet*" -print" - hopefully A/UX allows that syntax.

you'll have to use single quotes around the *telnet* to keep the shell from interpreting the stars. double quotes won't cut it.

find / -name '*telnet*' -print

or

find / -name \*telnet\* -print

Really?

uh.. aggravatingly, no. double quotes work. mea culpa!

Thanks Guys,

So it was there all along (makes sense!) - found it in /usr/etc with the *telnet* bizo.

Was not working cause inetd is set to "off" in the inittab (along with portmap) - probably should have looked there first I guess. Anyway, set the appropraite thingys and wah-ha-ha-ha - I can now telnet in (lol as root without a password).

Nice.

Is the root password set at all - i.e. do you log in at the console without a password too?

See the advice regarding telnetd upgrade in the FAQ.

Yep, its the default install - but my next job is to follow the faq and secure it up a bit.
