I have a question about this part and how it applies to RedHat 7.0.
As you probably know, RedHat 7.0 moves entries from the inetd.conf file
to individual files in the /etc/xinetd.d directory. I checked the file
/etc/xinetd.d/telnet and found this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# default: on
# description: The telnet server serves telnet sessions; it uses \
# unencrypted username/password pairs for authentication.
service telnet
{
disable = no
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
log_on_failure += USERID
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm using hosts.allow and hosts.deny, but I don't see anything about
/usr/sbin/tcpd in there. Should it be?
