Can I disable specific services by lan card?

[rudy smith]

I have a hp9000 'L' class server running HPUX 11.0. Currently I have two lan cards on the box. One for standard traffice and the other is used primarily for backup. Is it possible to limit what services are allowed on the backup lan card? i.e telnet, ftp etc.?

You could do a few tricks if the two lan cards are on different subnets, from memory I didnt think you could have two physical lancards on the same subnet anyway.

check out /var/adm/inetd.sec to
limit services.
take the backup subnet nodes off the dns and use
your /etc/hosts file on the backup server.

The answer is Yes. use /var/adm/inetd.sec file to allow OR deny the services for perticular node.

you can use the range of IP address in the host filed to group the systems for which you want to allow/deny the services.

check "man inetd.sec" for more options
