These are the questions that are constantly floating in my mind: 1. If I have a modem connected to a phone line, is it possible to let my friend dial from his pc my telephone number and then let FreeBSD answer the call, and authenticate him by some sort of a login prompt? That would be pretty much what a lot of ISP's do, wouldn't it? IIRC, there's a section of the PPP chapter in the FBSD Handbook that mentions, perhaps explains well, this item. I've not yet tried it, YMMV. 2. What process would this be? Will I use some sort of ppp server and then he uses his ppp to dial my telephone number? I guess so, see above. 3. And If ever he will be connected to me successfully, is it possible for me to still dial to my isp knowing the fact that he is using my modem to connect to my pc? Not unless you have two modems. And two phone lines. 4. And how about ssh? Knowing that we are not in LAN, if we both connect to the internet, is it possible for me to login to his pc and vice versa, using ssh by specifying his ipaddress? How will the process be? WIll he be using some sort of ssh daemon listening to my request? Yes, should be, if ports are not blocked and if sshd is enabled in /etc/rc.conf on his machine. You need not specify the specific details and configuration files, just the hints about the processes. I've asked these questions because this would be very helpful to me now that I've got my first job working in an actual IT environment. And that would be all. Thank you very much for the time. Welcome, hope it helps. Not much of answer, really.

Look at /usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample scroll down to: # Server side PPP # # If you want the remote system to authenticate itself, you must insist # that the peer uses CHAP or PAP with the enable keyword. Both CHAP and # PAP are disabled by default. You may enable either or both. If both # are enabled, CHAP is requested first. If the client doesn't agree, PAP # will then be requested. # 2.

And If ever he will be connected to me successfully, is it possible for me to still dial to my isp knowing the fact that he is using my modem to connect to my pc? If you have a second modem and line so one connects to your friend and the other to your ISP. Your friend can also go to the internet through your system. -Mike 4. And how about ssh?

I've not yet tried it, YMMV. It's not necessary to use PPP for this, good old serial dialup connections will provide a shell login. It's in Handbook section 20.4. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
