Re: Telnet Server

Thanks for the information.  I think the problem is that, with V4R5 and up
anyway, that the Telnet server will only run on one port at a time (two if
you configure SSL). It seems to use whatever you define in the Service
Table, but if you have multiple entries, it only uses one of those entries.

Unless I'm just missing altogether how this works.

Hello Shannon,

The following is from some old instructions I have:

You can run multiple instances of the Telnet server.  Firstly, you need PTF
SF53486 for VRM420 or SF53489 for VRM430 (or their supersedes) if you are on
earlier releases.  These PTFs make the Telnet server use the services table
to
determine its port (can you believe it took them that long to work out what
the
services table is for!).

Then you modify the services table and point the telnet entry to a different
port.  Use the WRKSRVTBL command.  Remove the old entry and add the new
entry.

Then run STRTCPSVR *TELNET.  The only drawback is that you must change the
services table before you start each new server but you could automate that
in
CL.

I don't know if this works on VRM440 or later because they changed the
structure/architecture of the Telnet server at 440.  I also recall Jeffrey
Stevens commenting on either that the above technique no longer works or
there
is a different way of making it work.  I think those comments were in the
MIDRANGE-L so you may find something in the archives.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
