Telnetd binding interface
 

Hi all,

Trying to secure my OS by forcing the telnetd daemon to bind on a specific network interface. I known telnet is not a secure connection but as my users are
not friend with *nix, i,d'have to keep the telnet running.

In fact, my machine has two NIC. By default, telnet daemon bind to each interface. I d'like to restrict to only one interface.

I 'm currently running a linux slackware 10.0 with inetd.

How to i force telnet daemon to bind on a specific interface ?

Best regards,

Farid.

Why use telnetd? telnet is a clear-text protocol!
Anyway if your users are unfamilar with *nix tell them of puTTY
a windows ssh client. Im sure if you man ssh or sshd you will find some solution to your binding interface problem.

Anyway, every good system ingeneer uses openssh connection to manage their machines.
Openssh server is already installed and in production for advanced users.
My users has to use telnet and i want to force the telned daemon ton bind on a specific network
Interface.

There is also an another thing . Howewer telnet is not secure and Howewer i can force with fight my users to openssh , i'm very interesting just for fun to known how to solve this telnet problem.

Any Idea ?

Best Regards,
