AIX telnet control

[libanori]

Hi,
Does anybody know how to stop the telnet facility to certain hosts? example: deny telnet to serverXX, serverYY and allow telnet to all other servers

Thanks.

TCP Wrappers is your best bet.

I agree with luisb03. You can also find documentation about TCP Wrapper in the redbook sg246606 Managing AIX Server Farms.

Bye.

it is documented in IBM redbooks so I feel secure is running it. If your organization iis parnoid of freeware better remove many of the installed packages AIX loads.
