Re: query on telnet exit program

[Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

AFIAK, there are no exit programs in the telnet client, just in
the server.

Here are some ideas for alternatives:

   1) If the users never need to telnet out from the iSeries in question,
       you could just deny them access to the telnet commands using normal
       security procedures.

   2) If they are allowed to telnet out, just not to certain places,
       you could set up a firewall that disallowed outgoing connections
       to certain places.   This is the way most people allow/disallow
       connections, since most telnet software (aside from the one in
       OS/400) do not have exit programs.

   3) If neither of the first two are options, you could simply do the
       work in the telnet server that they are connecting to.   You said
       you don't want the traffic, but really, there's not much traffic
       involved, I doubt you'd ever notice it, even on a dial-up
       connection.  Plus, once the users find out it doesn't work, they
       won't try it anymore, which will eliminate the traffic completely.
