anonymous ftp can be killed by removing ftp from /etc/passwd the welcoming message may differ per vendor, but for RedHat it's /etc/motd /etc/issue /etc/issue.net for loggin, grab a shuffle and dig out /var/log :) Serge. You might want to have a look at the linux sysadmin guide, the linux security guide or the linux network administrator guide. Do a search with altavista. -----Original Message----- From: Aditya Pande [mailto:aadit@tdc.3com.com] Sent: donderdag 3 augustus 2000 0:39 To: linux-net@vger.rutgers.edu Subject: admin stuff Hi, Can anyone tell me how i can edit the messages that appear when someone logs in to a linux server via telnet, ftp? i want to customize it. I'm running Red Hat Linux 6.2 Also, how i can see logs of who logged in, what they did (file transfers, telnet sessions etc..) and how i can disable guest logins on ftp etc.? I guess the bottomline is: how do i manage server processes? if you have any info, or know of any links, i'd appreciate it. thanks.
