Telnet Server
The Telnet server works optimally for most installations. It accepts logins from a variety of clients, including the Telnet
clients shipped with Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows 95, and Windows 98, as well as a variety of character mode
terminal clients from virtually any operating system. In addition, it can be configured to meet specific site requirements
such as improving security, simplifying logins, and supporting stream or console mode.
Authentication
The SFU Telnet server supports Windows NT LAN Manager (NTLM) for authentication of client logins. NTLM allows users to
be automatically authenticated to the Telnet server based on their Windows NT login. This makes using Telnet completely
transparent to users, while ensuring that clear text passwords do not pass over the network. However, NTLM must be
supported on the client side of the login as well.
When users are logged in to a system that is using NTLM login, they are restricted to local drives on that system. If they
need to map network resources, they can do so by explicitly mapping with full credentials.
Administration
The Telnet server is administered using the SFU MMC snap-in or the tnadmin program.
The following options are available:
Authentication gives you the choice of NTLM or Username/Password.
Auditing enables you to set event logging to a separate log file or to the event log and to specify what events to
log.
Server Settings enables you to set the following options:
Maximum number of simultaneous connections.
Maximum number of failed login attempts.
Map
Telnet port.
Console or Stream for mode of operation.
Default Domain Name is the domain name that is automatically added to the login username. The default
is ".", which disables this feature.
Idle Session Timeout is the time until an idle session is forcibly disconnected.
Terminate all programs when disconnecting or Continue to run programs started with the
command bgjob.
Sessions allows you to see data about the currently active sessions (such as user, domain, system, and logon
date/time) and to either send a message to the session or terminate it.
Services for UNIX MMC Console
SFU UNIX includes a single MMC for managing all of SFU. The MMC provides a cohesive management interface that allows
you to administer all systems on the network from any console. Further, since SFU supports the Windows Management
Interface (WMI), management can be scripted from the command line.
You can access the MMC Console by selecting Computer Management under System Management on the Advanced
Administration Menu. See "
Using the PowerVault Advanced Administration Menu
" in "NAS Manager."
ActiveState ActivePerl 5.6
SFU includes ActiveState's ActivePerl 5.6, a full-featured port of Perl 5.6 and Perl Script to Windows Powered operating
systems. Among other improvements, ActivePerl 5.6 includes support for fork() emulation at the interpreter level,
improving the portability of scripts and modules. ActivePerl also provides full support for the Windows Script Host, making
