SiddharthC,

I think it's a lot better if you go with SSH instead of telnet, as is more secure and it give you more flexibility to manage these things.

If you persist on using telnet ( which is not recommended now days ) then check this thread that it will point you in the right direction,

If by the term 'client' you mean a specific computer's IP address, the file is called /var/adm/inetd.sec where you specify deny/allow for specific addresses of address ranges. If you mean a specific user, there is no way to identify a user until after login is complete and /etc/profile is started. So you would test for the user in that file and exit if the user is not allowed.

There is no file by the name /var/adm/inetd.sec in my system

Hi Siddharth,

Create this file and add "telnet deny " to it. Optionally, you could put "telnet allow " and then "telnet deny *" to allow only certain hosts and deny all others. 'inetd -c' to restart the dameon and apply changes.

# man inted.sec
for more information.

You create the file as needed. Use the command man inetd.sec for details.
