Adding functionalities to rlogind

[Jerome Bellet]

Hi all!

I would like HP-UX to ask a question to each user who rlogins to an HP box.
At first look a proper reference in inetd.conf to a script that asks this question, in replacement to the reference to rlogind, should do the task.
But it does not seem to be so easy.

Any idea?
TIA, Jerome

PS: It should also work with telnetd.

Jerome,

It should in fact be that easy. Btw, what question would you be asking the user? If you want to limit the access to specific addresses, well that's been done.

Essentially the inetd listens on ports to launch applications. However, rlogin was intended to be used for 'secure' remote access, in an almost trusted environment.

Hope that helps.

I would like to ask the user the purpose of his login (before or after his remote session), then store his answer in a log file.
