To limit the login session from telnet, you need to edit /usr/src/usr.bin/login/login.c. Find the #define DEFAULT_RETRIES, and change it to number you want (default is 10, which means you can try to login 10 times before the connection being closed.) I change it to 3, so after 3 failed attempts login will close the connection. After that, I did make & make install I hope this helps. --- Christopher Michaels <ChrisMic@clientlogic.com> wrote: > There is an option in the kernel config named "pty" > and it's the number of > virtual terminals that are available.
