telnetd without inetd

2003-06-05 Thread Dan Mahoney, System Admin
Is there a way to run telnetd in standalone mode, i.e. without inetd?
We have a system that we sometimes need to connect to from within a cisco
router, which can't do ssh (and not from anywhere else, we've firewalled
it as such).

If you aren't going to try something, then we might as well just be
friends.

We can't have that now, can we?

Are you just concerned about running it through 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.

Oh no I was just wondering about the need for an internet super-server
to essentially serve one daemon.
