enabling telnet for some users

dear all

telnet on our server is disabled for security reasons , if we want to allow telnet for some users , ( maybe 1 or 2 to be able to telnet ) is their any way to do that ??

does anyone have any ideas ?
thanks

Semaan, it is possible. I don't remember how I did it eaxactly.
Can you check the /etc/xinetd.d/telnet file and try tweaking the "user" parameter.
Let me see if I can get something on this.

which is your OS?

btw, why don't you use ssh instead of telnet, ssh is more secure.

sorry in better way :
there is only one user among lot of them how have to go as telnet to use it , the others must stay in sssh , so i just want to know how , and by the wya didn't find the [/code] etc/xinetd.d/telnet [/code]

Try this link...
I don't think as such Solaris provides anything like that...

Or you can lock the password for all other users... :D... but remember in that case ftp also will not work for others...
