fun with mgetty

1998-06-30 Thread Joseph Carter
I was going to try and set up mgetty to allow me to call my machine from elsewhere for either ppp or shell access so I could connect from pretty much any machine with a modem. I need to also be able to locally initiate an outgoing call from this machine on the same modem for ppp or dialup access

File permissions and metaphysics

1998-06-30 Thread Curt Daugaard
Now and then when I try to do 'plog'--always under same login--I am greeted with 'tail: /var/log/ppp.log: Permission denied'. If this happened always or never it would make much more sense, but *sometimes*? This is for the deep ones. Thanks. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL

Explain /etc/alternatives to me

1998-06-30 Thread servis
Hi all, Can someone please explain to me how to USE /etc/alternatives. I know what it is for but how does one take advantage of the links in it? Should it be the first item in the PATH? What? The man page is basically useless, Ch. 10 of the Developers Manual just explains what alternatives
