mbtelnetd - Incoming telnet proxy

Synopsis.

mbtelnetd

 

Description.

mbtelnetd is a small proxy that handles incoming telnet/vmodem 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.

 

Installation

To accept incoming telnet sessions to allow the ITN nodelist flag you must install mbtelnetd 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/mbtelnetd mbtelnetd

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/mbtelnetd
}
