DESCRIPTION
These programs support remote access across the Internet.
All expect the network connection to be standard input, out-
put, and error. They are normally started from scripts in
/rc/bin/service (see listen(8)).
Telnetd allows login from a remote client. There are three
types of login:
normal Normal users log in by encrypting and returning a
challenge printed by telnetd. The user can use
either the netkey program (see passwd(1)) or a
SecureNet handheld authenticator to encrypt the
challenge. /lib/namespace defines the namespace.
noworld Users in group noworld in /adm/users authenticate
with a password in the clear.
/lib/namespace.noworld defines the namespace.
anonymous
User none requires no authentication.
/lib/namespace defines the namespace.
Telnetd's options are:
a allow anonymous login by none
d print debugging to standard error
p don't originate any telnet control codes
n turn on local character echoing and imply the p option
t trusted, that is, don't authenticate

u use user as the local account name
N permit connections by `noworld' users only.
Rlogind logs in using the BSD remote login protocol.
Rlogind execs telnetd -nu after completing its initial hand-
shake.
Rexexec executes a command locally for a remote client. It
uses the standard Plan 9 authentication (see authsrv(6)).
Ftpd runs the Internet file transfer protocol. It supports
both implicit and explicit ftps. Users may transfer files in
either direction between the local and remote machines.
There are two types of login:
normal Normal users authenticate with their username and
password when using tls.
/usr/username/lib/namespace.ftp or, if that file
does not exist, /lib/namespace defines the names-
pace.
anonymous Users anonymous and none require no authentica-
tion. The argument to the -n option (default
/lib/namespace.ftp) defines the namespace.
Anonymous users may not store files.
Ftpd's options are:
a allow anonymous access
A allow only anonymous access
d write debugging output to the log
e treat any user as anonymous
c the certificate to use for serving ftps. The key must be
stored in factotum.
n the namespace for anonymous users (default
/lib/namespace.ftp)
Socksd is a SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 proxy server allowing non-Plan
9 machines to access the outside network. The net to use
for outgoing calls can be specified with the -o outside and
the internal network is specified with -x inside (for UDP
relay). If not specified, inside and outside will default
to /net.
Hproxy is a simple HTTP proxy server.
