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 ;-) -- Politics: The conduct of public affairs for private advantage Ambrose Bierce Raphael Mankin E-Mail: raph@panache.demon.co.uk ---------------------------------- [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver@stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]
