To configure Telnet, you will edit two files: the services
file, which lists the individual services that comprise the suite
of Internet Services, and the inetd
configuration file, which informs the Internet daemon about running
Telnet on this system.
Editing the Services File |
 |
The services file associates official service names and aliases
with the port number and protocol the services use. To enable Telnet,
you must edit the services file. Perform the following:
Open the services file with an MPE text editor. You may edit
the /etc/services
file from the POSIX shell or the SERVICES.NET.SYS
file from MPE/iX, whichever you prefer. Both file names should point
to the same file.
Verify that the following line exists in the file
or add it if it does not:
telnet 23/tcp
If the line already exists in the file and it is
preceded by a pound symbol (#),
delete the symbol and any spaces before the service name to enable
the service.
Save the file and exit the editor program.

Adding Telnet Service to inetd Configuration |
|
The configuration file for inetd
determines which installed Internet Services are available to users.
To add Telnet service to your system, you need to edit the configuration
file for inetd,
then have inetd
re-read the configuration. Perform the following:
Open the configuration file with a text editor. You may edit
the /etc/inetd.conf
file from the POSIX shell or the INETDCNF.NET.SYS
file from MPE/iX, whichever you prefer. Both file names should point
to the same file.
Verify that the following line exists in the file
or add it if it does not:
telnet stream tcp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal
If the line already exists in the file and it is
preceded by a pound symbol (#),
delete the symbol and any spaces before the service name to enable
the service.
Save the file and exit the editor program.
Signal inetd
to reread the configuration file by entering the following command
at the CI prompt:
:INETD.NET.SYS -c
Or you may enter this command from the POSIX shell:
$/etc/inetd -c
If you have added the Telnet server to the inetd
configuration file while the Internet daemon is not running, you
must start inetd
to start the Telnet server. To do so, stream the job JINETD.NET.SYS
from the CI prompt.
:STREAM JINETD.NET.SYS
