Configure telnetd
« on: September 16, 2010, 03:12:51 AM »
I need to configure an embedded device running TC to be on the network using a static IP address. So, this is what I have done:

1. modify eth0.sh to contain the right IP address, gateway, etc.
2. add /opt/eth0.sh to /opt/bootlocal.sh


To enable telnetd:
1. I copied inetutils-servers.tcz from /mnt/hda1/tce/optional to /mnt/sda1/tce/optional
2. Edited /mnt/sda1/tce/onboot.lst to include inetutils-servers.tcz
3. Edited /mnt/sda1/opt/bootlocals.sh to add a line /usr/sbin/telnetd&

Is there anything else that I need to do?

Also, how do I set up the username and password so clients can actually login?

Thanks.

FYI our busybox includes telnetd, so you might want to have full path there to make sure you use the server you want.

Also, IIRC telnetd by default is run from inetd, so a manual start like that needs an option.


It uses the normal accounts, so you can add new ones with adduser and change the passwords with passwd.

The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
