- We want users to be able to telnet into an application on an RS/6000
- (running AIX 3.2) and not have to enter a login or password. So, we are
- considering using a binary editor (say "hex") to patch the telnetd(1)
- executable and substitute "/bin/fubar" instead of "/bin/login".
- The program "/bin/fubar" will start the application (our University's
- registration system). Of course, we will provide the original telnetd(1)
- on another port so that a real login is possible.
-
- Will this interfere with any TELNET negotiations or cause other problems?
