Getting a network connection in UAE

My question is, what about some software that needs inetd: or other tcp stack assigns ?

What is the inetd: assign anyway? Never heard about that one before.

Anyway, the only apps using AmiTCP: are the ones that want to access the files within it. The only ones I can think of are actually the apps that are provided with AmiTCP.

You need AmiTCP:l/inet-handler and AmiTCP:devs/inet-mountlist. You can find them from AmiTCP-bin-30b2.lha for example.

If you take them as-is, you need to put them somewhere and point AmiTCP: assign to this dir.

Or you can copy AmiTCP:l/inet-handler to L: and edit AmiTCP:devs/inet-mountlist accordingly and put it to DEVS:

Anyway, once done, put this to s:user-startup

Code: [Select]

mount TCP: from AmiTCP:devs/inet-mountlist

If you edited the mountlist and put the files to L: and DEVS: then add:

Code: [Select]

mount TCP: from DEVS:inet-mountlist

WARNING: inet-handler adds a slight security hole to the system. To open the system for remote access, malicious application would only need to do something like this:

Code: [Select]

newshell TCP:6666
Attacker can then connect to the system remotely via telnet or netcat, and give arbitrary shell commands.
