Hello,
I've got FreeBSD 2.0.5 installed and running on a 486 system remote to
me. I'd like to be able to work remotely as root or su via telnet. We
have changed my group to wheel but that group is not allowed access
via telnet. No other system changes were made to the install defaults.
I appreciate the security implications, but as a temporary solution
we'll use a phone call to turn my privileged access on and off until
we decide on our permanent security design.
I have searched the archives and reviewed the FreeBSD web site and now
need to ask your help.
Do we do it with /etc/login.access (all lines are as installed,
currently commented out)
or
can we set /etc/ttys ttyp0 to network on secure
or
something completely differant.
A quick hint or pointer to a doc would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Respectfully,
Paul Happ
