I also have not seen any documentation saying that this was add to the default
HPPATH. I would have rather add it myself to the path of the users that I whant
to have access to those services.
BTW, does anyone know if there a way to know who is using the services ? I
would assume that a SM and/or OP could know, but I have not found anything
on it yet. I find a little annoying that my users can telnet/ftp anywhere and
that I do not know what is happening (maybe I am a little paranoia...)
Also, I would like to congratulate HP for the Telnet client, it is woking
quite well. I think they did a really good job on this.
