Samba (nmb and smb) I got working following reinstallation of samba and systemd, then enabling with systemctl. Joe Zappa composed on 2015-01-19 10:38 (UTC-0500):
Don't run telnet server on any host that can be accessed by telnet connection initiated from any host outside of your control.
We've been through security preaching ad nauseum before, something like 30-40 posts in just one thread: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2014-06/msg00234.html Admonitions are precisely why this has been taking me so long, as searches produce preaching abundantly supplied by Google, instead of answers to questions asked. IIRC that thread includes somewhere the why of my wish to use telnet rather than sshd, and a consequent response stream that sshd supposedly isn't that "hard" even when dealing with 12+ installations per HD. On my LAN, all installations are under my control. Windows is rarely used. This is on a test box. It gets little use. I want telnet server to work on it. Telnet server is installed, but my attempts to get it enabled, via xinetd as that's apparently how it's supposed to work on systemd systems, were producing no fruit, unlike on Fedora on the same box. It was so late and I was so tired last night when I gave up I can't remember how I finally enabled xinetd and got past connection refused starting a telnet client. Looking at bash history it may have been systemctl enable telnetd.socket and/or systemctl enable xinetd.socket, after reinstalling telnet-server. At this point I can bring up a session prompt with telnet client, but pam has apparently become the obstacle I'm not getting figured out. It accepts non-root login, but not root. As on most of my test installations I don't even create non-root users, and sometimes need some things to work without /home mounted, I want to know how to enable root to login. Until https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=833253 I never even knew pam existed, much less how to customize it, while pam's man page isn't even 2 screens long. The man page refers to /etc/pam.conf, but this file does not exist. /etc/pam.d/ exists, but has over 50 files in it that the man page says nothing about. :-( -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
