question about inetd.sec

[someone_4]

Hello everyone I have everyone had a productive weekend!! .
I was wondering if this is a valid line in inetd.sec

telnet deny 216.224.128-191.*

I am trying to block telnet from an ip range.

Thanks
Richard

A range is a field containing a - character. To deny hosts in network 10 (arpa) with subnets 3 through 5 access to remsh:

shell deny 10.3-5.*

Yes, This is true.

Hi Richard,

Just cat inetd.sec, and will give you the same explanation in the eg: given in the starting of file.

The network range can be specified by this.

I know you didnt mean
cat inetd.sec
you meant
man inetd.sec
But I cant say nothing I dont know where my head is .. not even trying to do a man on inetd.sec.

Hi Richard =))

Actually I meant CAT :

# cat /var/adm/inetd.sec

The starting of the file will give you an eg: and it's explanations.

You can get more information from manges though.

LoL
I didnt have one in /var/adm
So I had to vi and create inetd.sec ..!!
But after reading your last post I found the original inetd.sec in
/usr/newconfig/var/adm/inetd.sec

And when I cat that .. I see the info you are talking about :)

Richard,

If you create the inetd.sec file manually, then make sure about the permissions of the file. Read the man pages for information on this. This file contains security information and may lead in to problems if you don't secure it.
