- 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......
