On bootup, ttylinux provides 6 text consoles for login. The default setup has two user accounts: root (the administrator account) with password root and guest with password guest.
The syslogd and klog daemons are running and log kernel and system messages to the file /var/log/messages.
If you need a text editor, vi is installed. Simply invoke it by typing vi /path/to/filename. This version of vi is a minimalist version provided by busybox. You can find documentation and help about using vi in many places on the web.
For manipulation of users, groups and passwords, the tools passwd, adduser, addgroup, deluser, and delgroup are present.
If you have not changed the timezone and keyboard settings as outlined in the customization section (2.5, above), ttylinux will use its default settings. The default timezone is UTC, the default keyboard mapping is for a US keyboard.
The inetd super-server and the dropbear SSH server are running by default. A telnet server will be forked by inetd when a telnet connection comes in.
ttylinux includes a basic packet filtering firewall which is enabled by default on the dialup interface. Note that the telnet server is not visible from the external side of the dialup interface in the default firewall configuration.
