There is currently no way to limit admin users. See burt 42514.

However you can restrict rsh and telnet access with: options.rsh.access and options.telnet.access. For example: options.telnet.access "host=admin_host". This will only allow telnet from the computer admin_host.

Please check the man page for more details.

I'm using the "useradmin" command to add users to my DOT 6.3.1 for CIFS authen since I don't have a DC.

Unfortunately these users also become Filer Administrators and I have to be very careful not to let them onto the box. I'm looking at how to handle password administration for these users without letting them have a telnet session. Anybody use a "rsh" script to administers these user accounts?

Any ideas how I can limit them? The only thing I've come up with is having our manned Help Desk administer a telnet session for them while the user is physically in the Help Desk area.

Ideas?
