These programs support remote access across the Internet. All expect the
network connection to be standard input, output, and error. They are normally
started from scripts in
/rc/bin/service
(see
listen(8)).
Telnetd
allows login from a remote client.
There are three types of login:
- normal
- Normal users log in by encrypting and returning a
challenge printed by
telnetd.
The user can use either the
netkey
program
(see
passwd(1))
or a SecureNet handheld authenticator to encrypt the challenge.
/lib/namespace
defines the namespace.
- noworld
- Users in group
noworld
in
/adm/users
authenticate with a password in the clear.
/lib/namespace.noworld
defines the namespace.
- anonymous
- User
none

/lib/namespace
defines the namespace.
Telnetd's
options are:
- a

- p

- n
- turn on local character echoing and imply the
p
option
- t
- trusted, that is, don't authenticate
- u
- use
user
as the local account name
- N
- permit connections by `noworld' users only.
Rlogind
logs in using the BSD remote login protocol.
Rlogind
execs
telnetd
-nu
after completing its initial handshake.
Rexexec
executes a command locally for a remote client. It uses the
standard Plan 9 authentication (see
authsrv(6)).
Ftpd
runs the Internet file transfer protocol. Users may transfer
files in either direction between the local and
remote machines.
As for
telnetd,
there are three types of login:
- normal
- Normal users authenticate
via the same challenge/response as for
telnetd.
/usr/username/lib/namespace.ftp
or, if that file does not exist,
/lib/namespace
defines the namespace.
- noworld
- Users in group
noworld
in
/adm/users
login using a password in the clear.
/lib/namespace.noworld
defines the namespace.
- anonymous
- Users
anonymous
and
none
require no authentication.
The argument to the
-n
option (default
/lib/namespace.ftp)
defines the namespace.
Anonymous users may only store files in the subtree
below
/incoming.
Ftpd's
options are:
- a
- allow anonymous access
- A
- allow
only
anonymous access
- d
- write debugging output to standard error
- e
- treat any user as anonymous

To preserve intended protections in shared file trees,
any directory containing a file
.httplogin
is locked by
ftpd;

httpd(8).
