mbtelind - Incoming telnet proxy

Synopsis.

mbtelind

 

Description.

mbtelind is a small proxy that handles incoming telnet/sio sessions and calls mbcico via the network on the standard fido port (60179). This small proxy was original written by Vadim Zaliva, lord@crocodile.kiev.ua, Serge Terekhov, 2:5000/13@fidonet and Vadim Kurland, vadim@gu.kiev.ua for the ifmail package as iftelnetd. This program should be installed to listen to port 60177 and if you do not allow telnet users login also on port 23.

 

Installation

To accept incoming telnet sessions to allow the ITN nodelist flag you must install mbtelind in your system. You need to do this as root. The example shown is for most GNU/Linux distributions. Add the following line to /etc/services:

tfido           60177/tcp

Add the following line to /etc/inetd.conf:

tfido   stream  tcp     nowait  mbse    /opt/mbse/bin/mbtelind mbtelind

Or add the following lines to /etc/xinetd.d/mbsebbs if your system uses xinetd instead of inetd:

service tfido
{
	socket_type     = stream
	protocol        = tcp
	wait            = no
	user            = mbse
	instances       = 10
	server          = /opt/mbse/bin/mbtelind
}
