System name: lees4.mit.edu
Type and version: SPARC/4 8.2.8 (with mkserv)
Display type: tcx
What were you trying to do?
require encrypted telnet sessions
I changed the line in /etc/athena/inetd.conf for telnet to
include -e:
telnet stream tcp nowait unswitched root /etc/athena/telnetd telnetd -a cred -e
What's wrong:
Telnet hung when I tried to telnet without kerberos tickets.
What should have happened:
It should not have hung, simply refused the connection.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
From the telnet man page:
-e This option causes telnetd to refuse unencrypted con-
nections.
To get around this, I used "-a valid" rather than "-a cred".
