rather OT question
please forgive the off-topic-ness :) can anyone recommend a (preferably linux friendly) isp in the greater toronto area for a residential connection? thanks a lot, adc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: OT: pppd wanted between two compu's
Sebastiaan, you may find the following options of some use (unfortunately i can't verify now, this is all from my poor memory). here goes: - local - passive - ipcp-accept* - noipdefault i seem to remember that when i configured leased lines, i used to have the server assign ip addresses and have the clients accept whatever the server sent them. i would try removing the ip addresses from the client's commandline and add noipdefault and local there, and i would also add passive and local on the server. of course, you get to decide which computer is the server and which is the client. take all this with a grain of salt, since it's been a while since i've last done anything like it. happy ppp-ing, adc On Mon, Feb 26, 2001 at 10:17:58AM +0100, Sebastiaan wrote: Hi, I know that this is not isp related, but on this list there are people who know a lot about pppd (I hope).

Both return: Using interface ppp0 Connect: ppp0 -- /dev/ttyS1 and wait, and after a while they get a LCP timeout sending Config-Requests. In the manpage of pppd there is said that crtscts does not work correctly on macintoshes, but they do not say what will work. I tried other options like xon/xoff, cdtr/cts, modem, but without succes. I also tried to set up the ppp0 interface with ifconfig while both computers are waiting for connection, but also without succes. Am I forgetting something?

From passwd(1): -l This option is used to lock the specified account and it is available to root only. The locking is performed by rendering the encrypted password into an invalid string (by prefixing the encrypted string with an !). so grep your /etc/shadow for passwords starting with `!'.
