Disable Telnet in FreeBSD
Log into each server as root:
Edit /etc/inetd.conf
and ensure the following lines are commented out (#):
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/telnetd telnetd
telnet stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/libexec/telnetd telnetd
IMPORTANT NOTE: This document is based on FreeBSD. The concepts
should be similar across operating systems, but the commands will very likely be different. Also, never
assume the directory structures exist in your system as written in the document. Never blindly follow
security instructions -- read, review, compare, apply as it fits your system.
