TELNETD and FTPD

With user authentication enabled on your Eagle system, the telnet and ftp dialogues are expanded to include the authentication process, with users being prompted for the gateway username and the gateway password, in addition to the information normally required.

In the examples below we assume that user authentication is enabled and the following line is in the Eagle's configuration file (see Chapter ):

faraway.outbound.com allow mymachine

This permits users on faraway.outbound.com (outside the Eagle-protected network) to connect to mymachine (inside the network), but requires an additional gateway username and password. In these examples, the name of the Eagle is firewall.xxx.com.
