Providing Access to the MPE/iX FTP User Only

To prevent remote users from accessing the MPE/iX FTP server:

don't run INETD (if only FTPSRVR is running under INETD)
otherwise, comment out the line
ftp stream tcp nowait MANAGER.SYS /SYS/ARPA/FTPSRVR ftpsrvr
by placing the # symbol in the first column in the file INETDCNF.NET.SYS and restart INETD as :INETD.NET; info="-c"

To restrict only a particular host/network from accessing the MPE/iX FTP server, add a line in INETDSEC file, in the form of:

<service name> <allow/deny> <host/network addresses, host/network names>

For example, to disallow the host 192.23.4.3 from accessing the FTP server, add the following line:

ftp deny 192.23.4.3

For more information regarding INETDSEC.NET.SYS, refer to the Configuring and Managing MPE/iX Internet Services manual, section "inetd Security File".
