Hi Folks,

I have following commands to disable Telnet and FTP but somehow even after restarting it never works and I can still do telnet to my unraid machine. If i run these commands directly from unraid terminal then telnet is stopped. Cant figure out why they are not working automatically after restart.

 

root@Tower2:~# cd /boot/config
root@Tower2:/boot/config# cat -A go                       =============> I am intentionally doing -A to see all non printable characters but if just do cat then i see as expected.
#!/bin/bash^M$
# Start the Management Utility^M$
/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &^M$
^M$
#Disable the Telnet On This Machine^M$
sed -i -e 's/^telnet/#telnet/' /etc/inetd.conf^M$
#Restarting After FTP Also Instead Of Restarting and Again restarting for Telnet and FTP^M$
#/etc/rc.d/rc.inetd restart^M$
^M$
#Disable FTP On This Machine^M$
sed -i -e 's/^ftp/#ftp/' /etc/inetd.conf^M$
/etc/rc.d/rc.inetd restart ^M$
 

 

 

 

Simple cat output also

 

root@Tower2:/boot/config# cat go
#!/bin/bash
# Start the Management Utility
/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &

Can someone please help what's wrong ?

 

 

 

In the web GUI, go to system settings, identification, and set "use telnet" to NO.

go to settings, network services, ftp server, set "ftp server" to Disabled.

Jonathan - I followed your suggestion but now my GUI stopped working.  I am not linux expert and hoping you can help me to have this fixed.

Thanks Jonathan it worked. It seems that when i mentioned GUI is not working it was restarting some service as now it seems to be working. Thanks.

 

But can someone explain why it did not work when i tried to do via config/go file by adding command there ?

Probably because the settings wound up undoing your change

Yeah that's why i thought and expecting experts to confirm the same.
