Hi, I am configuring a Dial-in server using Red Hat Linux 5.2. Using options files for the serial ports, i can assign the dynamic IP addresses to the clients connected to each port. But my clients have to define my DNS server in the TCP/IP settings in the Win95 dial-up networking icons. Here are my questions: 1. How can i enable the features like "SERVER ASSIGNED DNS SERVER" so that my clients do not need to specify the IP addresses of my DNS server and the DNS servers are auto assigned once they got connected and granted service after getting authenticated. 2. My users use Dial-up networking script to send their username and password (Simple username: $USERID password: $PASSWORD and PPPD chat session). How can i give the access without using the dial-up networking scripts ( I am using GETTY). Besides, Even if the user had entered the wrong password, how can i send username and password prompt again, so that they can enter it. Shall i use some special packages for it? I have seen some of the ISPs use such feature like you don not have to enter username and password initially and once connected , the server itself send the query for them. 3. I am using SQUID as the Web Proxy (port 3128). Can i do something in my server side so that the clients do not need to specify the proxy settings in their browsers. I would like to tunnelise every HTTP/FTP query through our Proxy server automatically, no matter whether the user specified the proxy settings or not. Any help/Suggestion is highly appreciated. Thanks in Advance Manohar
