Re: telnetd without inetd

What about the alternative xinetd? If you already have it firewalled, I'm not sure what your concern is about running it through inetd. I don't know if you can run telnetd as a standalone daemon, but if that's the only service that's enabled in inetd.conf, does it matter? FWIW, you can further lock down access in the hosts.allow file. -doug ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Locking down secondary mx sendmail
It seems the spammers like to target secondary mx machines and let those machines relay the email to the primary machine. I've tried setting up the virtusertable file to at least reject invalid emails on the secondary mx machine, but it seems that sendmail bypasses that when it's doing mx relaying for that domain. So, does anyone have some suggestions to partially lock down mx relay machines?

Weird NIS master problem
I have two FBSD NIS machines, the master is running 4.6 and the slave is at 4.7. The slave works properly, it's the master that is acting strangely. The master is also serving as a router with 2 nic cards, and is running ntpd. It processes NIS stuff, just *really* slowly. It is not doing firewall stuff (yet). For example, running 'truss id dsilver' it stalls right after running 'gettimeofday' but eventually answers back properly. The same behavior happens on any other client if I bind it to the master instead of the slave, i.e. you can login, it just takes a long time. I've confirmed that both machines are running ypserv, ypbind, rpc.statd, and the server is also running rpc.ypxfrd. Any suggestions? Thanks. -Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
