Re: [PLUG] dialin server for linux?
|
I think this can be done with agetty, using a little shell script that
just does
#!/bin/sh
telnet whereever.com
and setting the login program to that shell script using the -l option on
agetty, and the -n option so it doesn't ask for a username..
I don't know how secure this would be though since the script and telnet
will be run as root..
