Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Perhaps you know how X-Servers work... they are an excellent way to
use Linux hosts in a network. VNC is something similar, but it also
works connecting Windows machines as well: the VNC client on one
client (Windows or Linux) gets die display of the host one is
connected to, where the server part of VNC is installed. Then one can
work as if one was right at the host itself (it is a kind of grafical
telnet, if you wish).
Well, I would like to use this kind of connection over PPP. On the
client, one needs to choose "host:display", for example "foomachine:1"
and one needs a password too. But how can I tell VNC to go over PPP.
In this case I wish to connect two Windows 98 machines (I think that
using Linux in this case is quite trivial, since the "server" is just
XDM, an the client would be any appropriate X-Server or VNC itself).
I hope I am not off topic
Thanks

i use slackware, but here is my 2 bits. I think the prog is looking
for a file (in this case a symnlink ) to pppd-2.3.6 instead of looking
for the pppd-2.3.6 file itself, its prolly how the dialup script is
written.
try this, go to the folder where pppd-2.3.6 is kept, (in slackware its
/usr/sbin) and create a symlink to it
ln -s pppd-2.3.6 pppd
see if this works, and good luck ;)

Pppd got it's address (212.1.146.40) from the ISP but the ISP doesn't
provide an address for pppd to use as the ISP (remote) address. Add
:192.168.0.1

Compared to whom? Sure, compared to Sun they don't have real
support. However, compared to their real competition (other
PC based OSes like NT) the support available is comparable.

How can you be an Oracle DBA and not be familiar with 3rd party
contracting services (those metals contracts don't quite do it)
and the general stinginess of those who are out to make a buck?
A buck not spent on CALS is more money for bonuses and dividends,
it's as simple as that. THAT is what is driving corporate adoption
of Linux.
It's not quite so much that companies might be not capitalized
enough to survive but rather that anything that makes the
enterprise more efficient wrt the bottom line increases a corp's
competitive advantage and profits.
Walmart is an example of this.

Has anybody had some luck with this modem on RedHat6.0 I
have never really paid attention to modems before because
they have always worked without any problem until I recently
bought a new computer with a Motorolla 56K fax/voice
modem. It works fine on Win98. But I can't get it activated
on RH6.0 It doesn't respond or ven make it's presence known
I have it on what is COM1 in win98 (ttys0, cau0). I tried
configuring a connection using kppp which I am also using
for the first time but it seems no different (in ease of
use) from what I have used before.

You need an entry in /etc/inetd.conf like:

There's no such thing as Linux 6.0. You're probably talking about RedHat

Like who? I'm the most prominent member of that category

that category. I was using GUI's when most of the WinVocates
would have been using DOS3.

That's all fine and dandy until the local Linux Zealot is called
upon to do free tech support when Windows runs afoul of itself.
One has to wonder how much of Microsoft's bottom line is thus
subsidized. They even had the gall to brag about it in one of
their commercials.

That's a great deal of it's problem. They will happily auto-futz a
device that a linux developer won't (due to crash problems).
PnP that is reliable at the hardware level is not at all a problem
to deal with. This is why the Mac has been as reliable as it is
with the sort of thing since when the WinVocates were running DOS3.

Experts did most of the installs. Those installs were pretty
much forced on the market, being the only option available
in many places, through OEM coercion and legacy app and API
lock in.
One could easily say the same thing regarding MacOS7 vs. DOS5.
It certainly wasn't the 'ease' of DOS5 that gave it it's

According to the TODO file this feature will be added in version 4 of
autofs (should be very probable because the change is considered as
'easy'). Someone knows when the version will appear or whether there
is even a 3.x (> 3.1.3) with this feature?

under windows and linux picked then both up and used NE2000 drivers.. I
have no problems. The cards were 20 bucks. Why not just get a new card
instead of pulling your hair out? It doesnt get that card working but
it does fix your problem! I am running RH 6.0 also..

Subject: telnet problems - no login shell
hi,
telnet to my linux server (S.u.S.E.6.1) doesnt work anymore. It doesnt
ask me for my username and password anymore.
Whenever I telnet to the server I get following lines:
root@bart:/Net/homer/LocalFiles1/systemfiles/Tiffs > telnet homer
Trying 192.168.1.1...
Connected to homer.simpson.
Escape character is '^]'.
There is no error message in /var/log/messages.
Everything else on the system works fine. I tried to restart the server
- nothing changed.
It seems that I am not getting connected to a login shell. I have no
idea how to repair it. Please, could anyone tell me what to
do to get it run again.
cheers
Torsten
