Very Computer

I am running Linux 2.0.0 and I'm having a problem even running the
date command to another Unix (HP-UX 10.10) server.  My command:

remshd: Login incorrect

Produces the annoying 'Login incorrect' , hmmmph.  I can make the
journey from the other direction, but I would like to run the Linux
box as the rdist server - fat chance until I get this working.  Any
ideas?

Hi

The rlib commands do not generally allow root access. You need to have
/.rhosts file setup for the machine you are coming from and not just the
/etc/hosts.equiv file.

hope that helps

Len

I have .rhosts on both machines and I've also tried having it set as
644 and 600 but neither seems to help.  Got another suggestion?

If you really need rsh root access, try ssh (sorry, I've forgot the
pointer). This will encrypt the session and uses a more secure auth
scheme. (BTW, there are some nice features like compression, port
redirection, X redirection, ...)

Ssh is aviable as source and precompiled for some OS (I think). Source
distribution should be preferred for the VERY EASY installation via
"make install" - this will save you some headaches, if you're new to
ssh...

Hi,

Does anyone know how to setup PPP/Chat so that I can dial into an NT RAS
Server with my Linux system ?

Thanks

Joe

  If the site is set up to accept only connections with microsoft
encryption, then you are o u t  o f  l u c k. If an NT RAS Administrator
is paranoid enough to require encryption, (and most are) they are
unlikely to change it on a users request. (MS NT RAS does not normally
make use of an orgs firewall, so security settings are set higher). This
means that even macs and os/2 with $$$ Dollar Bill Gates $$$ Exchange
Server client can not authenticate to a system that requires MS
Encryption.

  If you have a solid requirement, a separate RAS line can be set up for
UNIX & Other users on a separate VLAN. Users should have a hard IP
assigned by admin and NT RAS has to be set to allow a user to "request"
their own IP, and that IP needs to be reserved if the org is using DHCP.
Then you ROUTE legitimate users to lan assets. This provides some
security.
