- OK - I accept the explanation for FTP and I was slightly wrong about the
- RLOGIN. No - I did not have OPER priv when I tried it. In fact another
- user was logged in when I had limited the access. The key is your comment
- that RLOGIN checks for a limit of zero. I tried that and it does work.
- BUT with a login limit of 1 and already 5 logged an RLOGIN attempt was
- not blocked as it should have (telnet or set host would be blocked).
