Many Thanks to the following who responded in my hour of need (Project
now back on track):
- Jim VandeVegt Thanks for detailed response
- Damian Wiest We both got the root cause ok, but I fixed the
problem differently
- Joseph Saldana Thanks - the info you supplied was useful but not in
my Sol8 man page
- Victor Engle Thanks
- David Harrington Thanks
Problem:-
Root /.profile $PS1 and $PS2 prompts showing for all telnet connections
from all users.
Root cause:-
Root .profile used by inetd subprocess (telnetd) as inetd was improperly
started using:
$ /usr/sbin/inetd -s & to start, so I got that piece right. The
inetsvc initialisation script
does not use the root .profile but the above command does (when run as
root).
Corrective Action:
Stop inetd ($ pkill -HUP inetd / $ pkill -9 inetd) then use the
following as root to start inetd
without the root environment $ env -i /usr/sbin/inetd -s &. Telnetd
does not use/inherit the
root environment variables as a result.
