Re: Allow root to telnet
Michael,
The omnibackup program should have it's own daemon.
Failing that, when telnetting to a machine (which is bad as telnet is
insecure), you should be able to login as a normal user and SU to root.
How ever, it would be better if you used SSH, which is basically an
encrypted telnet protocol (in simple terms)

Subject: Allow root to telnet
Hi,
I am having trouble with a few services and want to allow root to telnet to
a Debian 2.2r5 system for testing purposes, but can not find the way to
allow this to happen.
I have had a look through the man pages, and looked into /etc/securetty but
get stuck there. Do I have to add an entry for telnet to securetty to allow
root to login that way? Or is it done elsewhere??
Also, how would I allow telnet to accessed on more than one port at a time.
I may need to allow it on port 23 and 5555(omniback backup software port),
but can only seem to allow one or the other, not both. How can I allow both
23 and 5555 to accept telnet?
Any answers would be better than none.
Thanks
Mike W
