I need to clarify my request for info - I need to prevent people from REMOTE sites from accessing my machine via telnet for this particular user. The problem is we have some users using a pseudo-BBS running under Informix and they are exiting by just closing the telnet connection. The BBS is not terminating and eventually the system crashes after 4 or 5 of these ungraceful connections. So I need to do something with the daemon on my end to reget telnet connections for that particular user. I hope this clarifies my request. thanx lee -- ============================================================================== Capt E.

It's not clear so far whether you mean this particular *local* user or *remote* user. Your next paragraph > The problem is we have some users using a pseudo-BBS running under > Informix and they are exiting by just closing the telnet connection. > The BBS is not terminating and eventually the system crashes after 4 > or 5 of these ungraceful connections. makes it clear you mean the former. The proper fix is to fix the BBS! Preventing it from being used by users telnetting in is just slapping a band-aid on the real problem. > So I need to do something with the daemon on my end to reget telnet > connections for that particular user. The place you would have to put this fix would be in login, since that's the first point where the user name is known. If you have the cooperation of the people maintaining the BBS software, you could have it deal with the problem; this seems more appropriate, since it's the source of the problem to begin with. der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
