I played around with it for a while, back when I was using RedHat. It worked fine for console logins, but never worked for ssh. I didn't ever figure out why - I just switched to using NIS, since I was using NIS anyway. For FTP, you can play around with its own configuration[1]. In /etc/wu-ftpd/ftpaccess, you can specify which groups are specifically allowed and denied with the 'allow-gid' and 'deny-gid' directives. Have a look at `man ftpaccess` for more detailed information. If you're offering SSH access as an alternative to telnet[2], then you can achieve a similar thing with the 'AllowGroups' and 'DenyGroups' directives. Have a look at `man sshd` for more detailed information. Perhaps you can come across a more fully-featured telnet daemon which will offer the same level of restrictions. [1] I'm thinking about wu-ftpd in particular, but I'm sure others have similar features. [2] Highly recommended. - -- Graeme. [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Life's not fair," I reply.
