[history at end]
I have (just) set up COMSOCKS 3.08 and can telnet from a local client (Solaris 2.6
IPX) to
a Sun workstation at work. FTP OK also. So those fixed ports work OK
However, with rlogin, there is some other gotcha leading to
"rlogind: Permission denied"
presumably this is due to cross checks between the Suns user authorisation.
Maybe it does some fancy things with ports.
I did RTFman page and there are allegedly port range checks but I don't know if I fall
foul of those.
Any suggestions ?
thanks, Mark
p.s.
(i) I'll also appreciate any clues telling me if COMSOCKS by default is supposed to
run a DNS service based upon the NT4 hosts file
and what I need to do for it to refer unknown references upwards to DNS servers
at work
(ii) likewise, will I *HAVE* to use vncserver on home Suns and Exceed X-windows on PC
to ensure that there are unique ports (6001,6002 etc) for X-displays to my home
network from systems at work. ...and then a local vncviewer to see them I suppose.
[history]
Slowly I am learning how to get my home network configured for all my various uses
including X-windows and VNC.
I made some headway under ICS but was hit by the fact I need to have IPsec traffic
and as soon as I installed SecuRemote my network was rendered useless.
This mail-list pointed me at COMSOCKS. I Jumped in feet first with "COMTUN" version 4
beta and
that installed but had startup hurdles I couldn't overcome.
[It didn't uninstall cleanly but...] I installed COMSOCKS 3.08 plus and I made some
headway.
Still confused over where DNS services should be but for now I'm playing with NAT'd ip
names.
I don't know COMSOCKS well enough yet to say if it time-slices ports between clients
or if
I have to draw up a rigid set of client and port mappings.
