I have a Solaris 2.6 Ultra-10 at work and I want to
prevent users from logging into my machine. I dont want
to run in single-user mode. Is there a way to disable rlogin or telnet over to my
machine?
Edit /etc/inetd.conf and comment out the shell, login, exec, telnet and ftp
lines. As a matter of fact, comment everything else out as well.
Eric Also it may be desirable to leave either telnet or ssh
running, but move
them to a non-standard port. That way he can access his own system
remotely.
True. I guess I just assume everyone runs ssh now. :) I'd recommend against
telent or rlogin regardless of what port you use. Just too dangerous to
have plain text passwords traveling over ethernet, even if it never
gets outside of the company firewall. You never can tell if that windows box
next door has a packet sniffer.
