Re: [PLUG] dialin server for linux?
|
Why not instead of using telnet use rlogin in the shell script.
#!/bin/sh
rlogin server.remote.com
This will not give them a second login, just ask them for their password a
second time.

:Incase you're not familiar w/ getty, there are lines in your /etc/inittab

:
:T1:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
:T2:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS2
:
:Change it to something like:
:
:T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -l '/usr/bin/telnet hostname' 57600 ttyS1
:T2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -l '/usr/bin/telnet hostname' 57600 ttyS2

:There doesn't appear to be a debian agetty package, so I can't easily

:talking about. But I believe the above will work. My only concern is..
:hmm, just realized I coult try it on a virtual terminal, and it looks like
:you'll want that -n. Okay, getty has it.
:
:Okay, I found something that works on a virtual terminal (should work the
:same as a comm port, except it's on port tty9 instead of ttyS1).
:
:
:Put in your /etc/inittab:
:
:T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -n -l /usr/local/bin/telnet.monet 57600 ttyS1
:
:Where /usr/local/bin/telnet.monet contains:
:
:#!/bin/sh
:telnet monet.op.net
:
:It wouldn't do it w/out the #!/bin/sh.
:Of course, you'll want to change "monet.op.net" to the host you're
:actually trying to reach.
:
:
:The reason I tried it with a script is, depending on the quoting I used,
:it either treated "telnet monet.op.net" as the name of a single program to
:execute (as apposed to "telnet" being the program, and "monet.op.net"
:being an argument), or it treated "telnet" as the login program
:(correctly), but treated "monet.op.net" as another argument to getty,
:instead of an argument to telnet. I'm sure this is why lord_dark was
:talking about using a script, but I still feel like there's gotta be a way
:to skip that step. I'm going to the bathroom, then I'll try some more :)
:

:Anyway, I'm certain this can solve your problem. And remember "man getty"
:is your friend.
