Thanks to all who replied. I only do this with systems that are not connected to the internet. This one is experimental, but I like to have an old 386 system for making kernels or whatever. I edited the /etc/passwd file to set paul and root to have no password. Now, I just telnet in as paul and do an su. If the machine was connected to the Internet, I would only allow telnet logins of "guest" type. The reason for this crude setup is that I have virtual IP running and the Win95 box is getting web, ftp, samba, and telnet services from the Linux server. I can jump over to the telnet window to change a cgi script and then go to the browser window and test it. I would like to convert to a Linux client. Has anybody had good results running X on a 486DX-66 with 8mb? The 386's are working great as test servers! I am seeing a 2 mbit/sec ftp rate on a machine built from "leftovers".
