Access restriction !

Deependra — Tue, 17 Aug 2004 06:52:38 GMT

Hi,

Is there any way to restrict the users from loging in to a perticular system based on the user ID? If I restrict for telnet in inetd.sec file, the user can still log in using xterm or dtterm.

The requirement is to restrict users to the systems allocated to them. They should not be able to login to other systems. What is the best way to achive this?

Well, unless you are using a distributed password scheme, the obvious answer would be to remove the user from the /etc/passwd file.

What sort of password scheme are you using ?

NIS ?

or ???

With NIS, you can restrict it using netgroup map. Other way would be putting some code in /etc/profile.

And also with tcp wrappers.

Netgroups seems to be the way to go.

A good document for that is: N2X941208001

Or use this link:
