CentOS - Sep 2008 - Telnet & ssh connection limit and idle timeout

Dear all,


*
I am running centos 4 update 5. I want to limit user connection(maximum 10
simultaneous connection are only allowed) to server
(for telnet & ssh sessions).In the mean time i like to remove all dead and
idle connections(ssh & telnet session) of more that 24 hours.


 Any one guide me how to do this.

Regards
Lingu

I don't think you should be using telnet, for security reasons. SSH is
much better.

Sorry that no one has help you yet on this.

Check-out limits.conf (e.g., "man limits.conf").

This will allow you to limit the number of concurrent user
logins.

for telnet, intall telnet-server and in /etc/xinetd.d/telnet , append 
instances=<number> total number of instances and
per_source=<number>,the
number of simultaneous connections per IP address - it can not exceed 
the total number of instances.
