You can open only one Telnet or SSH-interactive session at a time. You cannot open both a Telnet and an SSH-interactive session at the same time
Note: You can prevent commands from being aborted at the console or through a Telnet or SSH session by using the rsh command to initiate commands from an administration host.
- Sharing the console session
If the
telnet.distinct.enable option is set to
off, the console shares a session with a Telnet or SSH-interactive session, and the following rules apply:
- Commands typed at either the console or the Telnet or SSH-interactive session are echoed to the other location.
- Pressing Ctrl-C aborts the current command regardless of where the command was entered.
- Messages are displayed at both locations.
- Auditlog entries identify all console commands as “console shell,” as shown in the following example:Fri Feb 18 12:51:13 GMT [toaster: rc:debug]: root:IN:console shell:df
- Auditlog entries identify all Telnet and SSH-interactive commands as “telnet shell.”
- The autologout program logs the user out of the Telnet session after the number of minutes specified by the autologout.telnet.timeout option has elapsed. The timeout counter starts after the Enter or Return key is pressed. For example, if the autologout.telnet.timeout option is set to ten minutes, every time you press the Enter key, the timeout counter starts counting. If ten minutes elapse before you press the Enter key again, the autologout program logs you out.
- Not sharing the console session
If the
telnet.distinct.enable option is
on, the console session has a distinct user environment and the following rules apply:
- Commands that are typed at one location are not echoed to the other location.
- Messages are not displayed at both locations.
- User privileges are not shared between console and Telnet sessions.
- Auditlog entries identify all console, Telnet, and SSH-interactive commands as “console shell.”
- The autologout program logs the user out of the Telnet session after the number of minutes specified by the autologout.telnet.timeout option has elapsed. The timeout counter starts after the command is executed.
