How do you configure the builtin ftp and telnet servers in Redhat 9.0? I need to have 3 different users for the ftp server (all with different access privledges).

I have already tried google and I havent found anything (I might just suck at the Intarw3b). But thank you for your help!!

Look at xinetd configurations (in /etc/xinetd I think) for ftpd or in.ftpd.

Don't use telnet, it's broken.

Drop the class and find a better school. Telnet is broken, there is no reason to use it again.

Most FTP server's use regular system accounts, you can chroot them to their home directory if you'd like though. telnet and FTP would both be enabled via /etc/xinetd.conf or a file /etc/xinetd.d, I can't remember how RH9 does it.

You really should look at ssh, it works exactly the same as telnet except that it's encrypted.
