I've tried in vain to use ssh with AIX 4.3.3, 5.1, 5.2 and am encountering the same probs with all three versions

With ssh, if I set rlogin=false in the user configuration, I can't open an interactive shell. Obviously, I can telnet or ssh in if I set rlogin=true but want to prevent people from su'ing to root.

Does anyone know how to get ssh to work when rlogin-false or any alternatives to prevent people from su'ing to root

All help mucho appreciated
 
Thanks for the replies...
however, I am more getting at enabling ssh to work whilst disabling telnet/rlogin. Therefore, u can only get in by ssh and not through telnet

Any more takers?
 

stopsrc -s inetd

or edit inetd.conf and remove telnet and rlogin


Cheers
 
If your only issue is to prevent users from su - to root, just edit the config file. sshd_config, in the file there is a variable "#PermitRootLogin yes" just uncomment it out and restart your ssh daemon.

The main issue is that there are other users with root authority. I have to prevent not only root but them as well being accessed. Therefore, If I have a user(userA), u should not be able to login through telnet or rlogin to him
 
yes, just turn off telnet daemon, poof no telnet. you are going to have a hard time keeping someone with root passwd out of the system.
