This directory contains the binaries for PROTELNETD and SSLeay for various Unix platforms. PROTELNETD is an implementation of TELNET with SSL encryption of data, and additional authentication to restrict unauthorized access. To install the software: - log in as root (or su to root) - ensure that the PRONTO environment is correctly set - run the 'install' shell script in the 'protnetd' directory - You may need to run the script using "sh ./install" - answer the questions where required The distribution is primarily intended to be via CD. If a non-CD distribution is required, you need to create a directory called 'protnetd' on the box that the software is to be installed. Place the files 'install', 'authskel.txt', and the .lzh for the required platform in the 'protnetd' directory. When running the install script, specify the parent directory of protnetd as the location that the CD is mounted. The software is installed in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/ssl. You need to ensure that you have about 5MB of free space in /usr. By default, PROTELNETD works on port 6999. This can be changed by modifying the entry for protelnetd in /etc/services (and sending signal 1 to inetd). The port number can be specified in proclient by appending the host name, or IP address with the port number, separated by a slash (/) or colon (:). The firewall will need to be changed to let this port number through, if access over the internet is to be allowed. Once installed, you must configure the /etc/protelnetd.auth file accordingly. The format of this file is documented within the file itself. If you wish to have an additional connection password, run the program: /usr/local/bin/protelnetdpwd All (non-local) access via protelnetd is logged in /var/adm/protelnetd.log.
