mactelnetd - Telnet daemon for MAC-address connections
This daemon listens for telnet connections from Mikrotik RouterOS
devices or mactelnet clients on the same physical network. It also announces
it's hostname via the MNDP protocol every minute.
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax. A summary
of options is included below.
- -n
- Do not use broadcast packets. A tad less insecure. This means that
ethernet packets will have the mac-address of the client as the packet
destination, instead of using the ethernet broadcast address.
- -o
- Use the older MD5 based authentication. This is less secure, and also
requires your userfile to have the passwords in plaintext format. If you
are running the server with this parameter, you cannot add users using the
-a option.
- -a
- Add a new user. The user should be an existing user in your system. This
can be done without restarting your mactelnetd server as it re-reads the
user file for each authentication attempt. You will be prompted for the
username and password, or you can use one of the following options to
specify them on the command line:
- -u username
- You can specify the new username to add on the command line using this
option. If this is not used, you will be prompted for the username.
- -p password
- You can specify the new password for the new user to add on the command
line using this option. If this is not used, you will be prompted for the
password.
- -d username
- Delete the specified user.
- -l
- List the available users in the /usr/local/etc/mactelnetd.users
file.
- -h
- Show summary of options.
- -v
- Show version of program.
- /usr/local/etc/mactelnetd.users
- This file contains a line separated list of users that will have access to
your machine. Usernames and passwords are separated by colon. This file is
read each time a user connects.
