Subject:   How to: eliminate IRC from telnet sessions?
Message-ID:  <32272842.208A@fc.edu>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
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.
