how can i disable telnet access on a mini2440? I have looked in the the startup script and I was unable to find where it starts telnet. I looked with ps i didnt see a telnetd but i was able to telnet in any ideas? Jeff
In /etc/rc.d (from memory) the start-up script calls something like telnetd. With a message that is echoed "Starting networking" Are you using 2.6.32.2 from FriendlyArm?
yes i am using 2.6.32.2 Ahh i found it now. Turns out inetd launches telnetd when ever a connection comes in on port 23 thats why i couldn't see it in ps. I ran ps when i had a telnet connection open and it showed up. After looking in the inetd.conf I see lines for ftp and telnet (both of which i will want to disable) Would it be better to? 1) disable inetd entirely or 2) comment out the lines in inetd.conf for ftp and telnet.
Sorry, don't know. Dave
I think the question is: What do you plan to do? It's easier to give an opinion.
I opted to comment out the lines for fpt and telnet and i was able to copy the syntax for the telnet line and point it at my dropbear executable with the options of /usr/sbin/dropbear -i -s g in the last column of the file and now my SSH server works flawless
