Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)
OK, I have been doing lots of googling and still have
not found the answer. OS is XP PRO on the house
machines (workgroup) behind a router. I want to be
able to telnet into one from my main machine, however
most of the information I have found says not to have
the telnet server enabled. I have not been able to figure
out if there is a way to set up the groups/protection so
that the machine will only accept a telnet connection from
me on my machine to the other one ... is there a way to
specify machine\user instead of just user in a group ??
I have found a number of references and MS KB articles
on creating/using the TelnetClients group (and the side
effects of that), but I still have not figured out if I can limit
it to one user on one machine that has access via telnet
to the other machine. Can you specify machine\user
for a group member in a workgroup environment ??
I guess one option that would make it a bit safer would be
to also use a different port for the telnet (since it does not
have to go through the router, that should be OK). My
LAN is reasonably (LOL) secure - the usual AV, spybot etc ...
counteracted by a 15 year old male ... sigh. Busy tightening
the protections (and having serious talks with him about
consequences).
