Yeah, try using login classes for those that you want telnet access to
(sysadms, tech support, etc.). Put a file
called nologin in /etc. This is just a flat ascii file that has a
message to display when someone tries to log
in (telnet or rlogin), before it gives them the boot. For those that
you want to give telnet/login/rlogin access,
in the /etc/login.conf set that "login class" to ignore the nologin
file. There's examples of how to do this already
in the login.conf file. the /etc/nologin file has no effect on FTP, so
this method can restrict logins to whoever
you want, yet still allowing FTP to everyone.
