NAME
in.mooix − mooix login server
SYNOPSIS
in.mooix
DESCRIPTION
in.mooix is a login server for the mooix(7) moo. While mooix can be logged into at the unix command line with the moologin(1) program, and though the admin can use this to set up moo-only users who can telnet and ssh into the system, this daemon is also provided for the convenience of users who prefer to log in using more standard MUD clients such as TinyFugue, sclient, gnome-mud, etc.
This daemon prompts for a (unix) login name and password, and validates them using PAM. Once the user is validated, it logs that user into the moo. The interface presented is much less interactive and polished than the interface presented by moologin(1) , but it is exactly the simple interface that many MUD clients are designed for.
This daemon must be run via inetd, and is set up very similarly to the in.telnetd(8) program. For example, you might put something like this in inetd,conf:
|
7777 |
|||||||||||
|
stream |
tcp |
||||||||||
|
nowait |
root |
||||||||||
|
/usr/sbin/tcpd |
/usr/sbin/in.mooix |
The daemon must run as root to be able to validate passwords using PAM.
