Telnet service consists of a Telnet client and a Telnet server.
The Telnet server uses the standard virtual terminal protocol,
originally developed by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA)
to allow users on a remote node that supports the Telnet and TCP/IP
protocols to log on and run applications on the host HP 3000. When
you configure and enable Telnet on your system, inetd,
the master server for the Internet Services, will listen for connection
requests from Telnet clients. If the request comes from an authorized
client node (for example, one that is allowed Telnet access to the
host via the allow
entry in the inetd
security file), inetd
will accept the request and start a Telnet session for the requesting
client.
The Telnet client allows users on your system to log onto
and run applications on a remote host system that supports Telnet
access. On MPE/iX, the Telnet client is the program file TELNET.ARPA.SYS.
Read "Implementation Differences" for a
discussion of the differences between the implementation of the
Telnet server on the HP 3000 and the Telnet server as it is implemented
on HP-UX systems.
