We are considering setting up a mac (MacOS) and pc (DOS) using the server FTP feature of NCSA Telnet for public access file transfer. However, our initial efforts are uncovering some serious security issues. We'd like: - open access - to not utilize telpass, so our logs can reflect connection origin - read-only systems - disconnect after specified idle time If you have any experience/suggestions/success or failure doing this, we'd like to hear from you. I will be glad to post a summary if there is interest. -Jane Smith, Information Services UNC Educational Computing Service, RTP, NC BITNET: jds@ecsvax Internet: jds@uncecs.edu
