I'm in process of setting up a LAN -- with a lot of help from an electronic friend and guru. The first thing, the way we're doing it, is to get in at all, share files, back things up, etc; then upgrade machines -- all the present FC1 ones to FC4, and maybe also the YDL4 one to FC4, maybe not. It would be a convenience ...
Case in point: using the dhcp table from the router, along with sbin/ifconfig, I can disable iptables on the FC1 machines with /sbin/service iptables stop, and then ssh a/o scp from one to another using IP numbers. (We'll set up proper machine names later, after all the upgrades, and then make specific holes in the firewalls; this is just a start.) But YDL won't take /sbin/service iptables stop, even from root's prompt; I suppose the Terrasoft people have put it somewhere else. I tried going into Services from the Main Menu, and stopping iptables there; I also made sure sshd was running. But ssh to the iBook's IP from an FC1 machine just gets an error : "ssh: connect to host 192.168.x.y port 22: No route to host" What do I have to do?? Don't forget that I still mean that bottom .sig line! -- Beartooth Neo-Redneck, Linux Evangelist FC 1&4, YDL 4; Pine 4.63, Pan 0.14.2; Privoxy 3.0.3; Dillo 0.8.5, Opera 8.01, Firefox 1.0.4, Epiphany 1.0.8 Remember that I have little idea what I am talking about. _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
