I have just recently installed NeXT Step 3.0 on an 040 Cube and am having
the following problem.
The root directory belongs to the group "alpha", and is owned by root.
Access privlages are such
Owner Group Other
Read Y Y N
Write Y N N
Execute Y Y N
Almost all users on the machine belong to the group "alpha", a few don't.
Under 2.1, those users in "alpha" could ftp and telnet in to the machine
and could login on the terminal. Those not in "alpha" could only ftp in.
Now under 3.0, the users in "alpha" can only ftp in and login on the
console. When they try to telnet in, the connection gets closed. How do I
fix this with out allowing executable privs. to those not in the "alpha"
group, and why is this the way it is? This seems to be a very improper
implimentation of privs.
Aside from this, how do I give permission for root login via telnet or
rlogin? I am aware that this is not a good idea.
Thanks.
