Not sure if this is the right list for this sort of a question.. Is there a way to disable authentication by the telnetd whenever a client connects. Basically, I need to setup an open telnet port! Currently, the telnet client comes up with a login/password prompt, but I would like to configure the telnetd such that any telnet attempts/connections are always deemed as authenticated and automatically presents the client with a shell prompt. I am using netkit-telnet-0.17 on a linux-2.6.11.12, on a custom powerpc build. No PAM is used so far. -- Shiva Send instant messages to your online friends http://in.messenger.yahoo.com <br><br> Stay connected with your friends even when away from PC.
