Ok folks, quick question.
I succeeded in making a linux box a dial-in system, and it authenticates and all that a treat. However, I want to telnet in over the dialled-in connection, and can't, and I want to use X (X-Win32) and can't. I'm sure I'm forgetting something simple, but can't think what. Clues gratefully received!
What are you dialling in with and what are you respondign with? Is it PPP/SLIP at both ends, or are you dropping straight into a shell?
Assuming that you ahve a PPP/SLip link, can you ping over it?
Do hosts.allow/hosts.deny permit telnet?
Is telnet enabled in inetd.conf?
X over a dial-up line will be painful. It is bad enough on my ADSL link, but then I do tend to run several sessions simultaneously ;-)
