Telnet and Fortres

[Newport Public Library]

Sue Pearce,

Beware the telnet-Fortres combination. There is a way to bypass Fortres
using telnet (specifically, EWAN's telnet program), cumbersone as it is. I
wouldn't think it would be a problem for most situations, but thoroughly
test your final configuration before letting the public/students on the
PC's. I think the hole could be plugged, but we just get around it here by
not allowing telnet to the public. No one has complained, so I haven't been
asked to fiddle with it.       Jeanne Heicher
