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 e3000. 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 e3000 and the Telnet server
as it is implemented on HP-UX systems.
