Message-ID: <1992Dec17.230214.16501@vector.dallas.tx.us> Date: 17 Dec 92 23:02:14 GMT Organization: Dallas Semiconductor Lines: 16 I've recently become very concerned about the security of many of the Unix workstations under my care. Some of the users are overly free with their passwords and I would really like to limit access to the systems. Has anyone modified the telnet daemon to include to capability for an allow/deny file. What I'm thinking of is a way to prevent any machine not listed in an allow file or every machine except those listed in a deny file from telneting into our machines. I've gotten the BSD Net 2 sources and have started looking at them, but wondered if anyone else has already tried this yet. Your comments please...... Terry Bohaning tbo@vector.dallas.tx.us
