Increase the number of telnet sessions allowed
Increase the number of telnet sessions allowed
Again a default setting that I do not understand. An application that I support uses telnet for remote access (don't ask!) and by default the number of instances configured to be allowed to the box is 50. This is a fully patched and up to date Redhat 5.4 system.
In order to change this to something a bit more sane, you need to edit /etc/xinetd.conf and change:
instances = unlimited
You then need to restart xinetd by doing:
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
