Hi, Sorry, but my ISP seems to have bounced off a lot of my messages. So vger put me off the list. Anyway I'm back now. Actually my ISP's quite lousy but right now it has a monopoly in India, so I'm stuck with it. Could you please resend all replys you sent for the following problem. Maybe you could send it directly to me instead of the list, so as not to bother others with duplicate messages. Thanks to all who responded, I managed to get ppp0 to become the default route. I had mistakenly used linuxconf to set my host's IP as the default. Got that fixed now. However now when I connect to my ISP and run 'sendmail -q' to send all queued messages it takes a long time (about 15sec) to send the first message. Everything else seems OK. Pinging an arbitrary Domain Name (sunsite.unc.edu) showed good results. Fetchmail brought down my mail from my ISP properly. Also now that the network seems to be OK (more or less) I want to set up my server to accept dial-in requests. How do I do this and what are the security issues I must make note of? Right now I'm using Samba so that the other machines (Win95) can connect to the Linux server. I want the users to be able to change their passwords without having to start up a telnet session. Is there any way to get the "control panel>passwords>change windows network password" sequence to communicate with Samba to change the password?
