It is probably best if you run the rlogin daemon from inetd. To do this, uncomment the rlogin daemon entry in /etc/inetd.conf, save the configuration, and send the inet daemon a HUP signal. Simple, thats: prompt> killall -HUP inetd Please be sure that you protect this daemon from potential abuse by unscrupulous folks by using a Deny by Default access list with tcp wrappers, and securing local rhosts files. -- Benjamin Krueger "Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about." - Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Send mail w/ subject 'send public key' or query for (0x251A4B18) Fingerprint = A642 F299 C1C1 C828 F186 A851 CFF0 7711 251A 4B18 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
