Disable root access on telnet?

[Dennis Bembenuto]

Hi all,

Again, I'm new to HP.

1. How can you disable root access on telnet? root can only be use in the console window. And, without disabling the telnet service so users can login using there own account but not to login as root.

2. How to set a passwd expiry? Example is 180 days?

Thanks....

To disallow telnet access to root, create a file called /etc/securetty with the following content:

# cat /etc/securetty
console

Thanks Ivan, appreciate the help.

you could configure tcpwrapper which will allow you to configure a hosts.deny and hosts.allow for any TCP service from inetd.

TCP wrapper is available for hpux 11.0 and above from software.hp.com if it is not already loaded on hpux like it is with 11.23
