Redmond" Reply-To: dmr@fc.edu Organization: Franklin College Switzerland X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (Win16; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: How to: eliminate IRC from telnet sessions? Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk We are running FREEBSD as our named, ftpd, httpd, and sendmail server for internet access. Due to limited computer facilities, I have been asked to remove IRC capabilities from our terminals. I have removed all access to MIRC applications, and locked out access to any future ftp downloads of those applications, but students can still access IRC through a telnet session. I find it necessary to keep the telnet application available on our terminals because of the importance of telnet searches to libraries and other research institutions. Is there any way to prohibit the sending of IRC requests to other systems from a telnet session, while maintaining access to other types of services? Any help would be appreciated. -- David M.
