Maximum Number of Telnet Sessions Active

By default, ProCurve switches support a total of three open Telnet sessions and do not automatically terminate sessions that were not properly exited.
When the maximum telnet session reached, when we try to telnet the switch, we will get a message “Sorry, the maximum number of telnet sessions are active. Try again later.”
To close the open Telnet sessions, it is necessary to either access the switch over the serial console port and kill the sessions, or else reboot.
When you access the switch through a serial console session, issue the command: “kill” at the prompt. This closes the open Telnet sessions.
To close specific telnet session, issue the command “kill <session>”. You can issue the command “show telnet” to list the telnet session.
To automatically close inactive Telnet sessions, configure an inactivity timer setting.

Google Apps (free edition) only for single user

Restrict file type with vsftpd

vsftpd have an option to restrict file type(s) for upload/download.  That vsftpd option is deny_file.  For example, to restrict file *.mp3 and *.avi, use this in vsftpd configuration file:

deny_file={*.mp3,*.avi}

If we put the option in vsftpd.conf, it will be applied to all vsftpd users.  In virtual users configuration, we can put the option in specific user configuration file, so only selected user will be affected by the configuration.
