1) I assume that the users do not have telnet access to these machine to change their passwords. Maybe this is means to allow them to change their password. I would clarify this with the sys admin, maybe technical feasiable, but I have never heard of anyone doing this before. 2) rtelnet, is the sockified version of telnet, are you using socks somewhere ? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Ivan Fox Sent: Monday, September 25, 2000 12:53 AM To: fw-1-mailinglist (e-mail) Subject: [FW1] Does ftp require rtelnet A ftp server is setup on AIX v4.3.2 behind a firewall. Therefore we setup a rule to allow incoming traffic as "source destination ftp accept". But the ftp administrator comes and requests to change the rule to "source destination ftp/rtelnet (port 107) accept". He explains that without rtelnet, users cannot change their passwords. Being unfamiliar with AIX or Unix, your comments are appreciated. 1) Is it necessary? 2) Why rtelnet, not telnet?
