Using Telnet
When establishing a
telnet
connection with your Tempus LX, logging in directly as root is not per-
mitted. This is a security measure that makes it slightly more difficult to gain access by simply trying
passwords, since it is also necessary to know the name of a user. When you initiate a
telnet
session
with the Tempus LX, this banner will be displayed:
********************************************************************************
* Welcome to Tempus LX GPS telnet console on: gntp.your.domain
********************************************************************************
Gntp login:
Here you may log in as “gntpuser” with password “Praecis”. When logged in as “gntpuser”, you may
check status information and view log files but you will not be able to modify any system settings or
view secure files. After correctly entering the password at this prompt,
Password:
the sign on message is shown. It identifies the host system as Tempus LX GPS and shows the soft-
ware part number, version and build date:
Tempus LX GPS 6010-0004-000 v 1.00 Wed May 16 14:17:44 UTC 2002
Tempus LX GPS(root@gntp:~)->
This last line is the standard Tempus LX GPS shell prompt. The Tempus LX uses the
bash
shell,
which is the Linux standard, full-featured shell. After configuring the unit, you should change the
passwords using the
gntppasswd
command issued from the shell prompt.
To gain root access, you must now issue the “super user” command at the shell prompt:
Tempus LX GPS(root@gntp:~)-> su root
You will then be prompted for the password, which is “endrun_1”, and be granted root access to the
system. To leave “super user” mode, issue the shell command
exit
. Issuing
exit
again will close
the
telnet
session.
Using SSH
When establishing a
ssh
connection with your Tempus LX, logging in directly as root is permitted.
When you log in as root via a
ssh
session with the Tempus LX, this banner will be displayed:
