3) I am going to have like 40 people ssh logged to the box, and from there telnetting to routers, do i need to worry about anything, like: - Number of VTYs, is it relative to RAM ? - Kernel recompilation to remove un-necessary services. - Any other points to consider ? Many thanks Regards
If you want to allow them to telnet only and not have a full shell environment, you could change their shell from bash in /etc/passwd to /usr/bin/telnet something like the following:
someuser:x:1003:100::/dev/null:/usr/bin/telnet Anthony
