Hi maestroes

One question. Is it possible to restrict the number of telnet sessions on the specific ethernet port. I have two ethernet port, first is dedicated one network, second to another. i just want to restrict to concurrent log-in user number in an ethernet. is it possible?

KInd regards

cheers
 
Put something like this in /etc/profile perhaps:

Code:
if [ `netstat -f inet -n | nawk '$4 = "1.2.3.4.23"' | wc -l` -gt 1 ]
then
        echo There is already a telnet connection open on this port.
        exit 1
fi

Obviously replace 1.2.3.4 with the IP address of the port you want to restrict the logins on.

Annihilannic.
