Telnet login maximum

[chaz_d]

Hi,

On an OpenSUSE 10.3 machine, I am only able to get 30 people logged in
using telnet.

The user insists on using telnet as their login client software cannot
use ssh.

How can I increase the number of telnet logins allowed?

Is it a number of processes parameter or something more refined?

I've looked into pty maximums and that is set at 4096, so that's not
it.

Please help if you can.

Many thanks,

Chaz.

Is this any use to you?

Basically you need to edit /etc/xinetd.conf to increase the number of sessions.

Thanks Big Tom,

The "instances" parameter was set to 30

Set it to 60 and restarted xinetd

That's done the trick.

That's a massive help.

Thanks again,

Chaz
