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.
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.
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.
