bug or feature?
Hello, i have a question to you all: for example my password on my system is: test1 the user names are: delete and (of course) root Why is it possible to login as 'delete' and as 'root' when i type instead of 'test1' as password, 'test1dfetdf' (for example). Or more exactly: Why is it possible to type the right password an then add as much letters and numbers i want to it? I am using a debian 1.2.6. Login made on all tyy's. 'su -' act's the same.

New Mainboard...
Hello, i am searching for an new mainboard. I thought of an Asus TX97 (Baby-AT). It has an Intel 430TX Chipset and there should be 32 MB S-DRAM (DIMM) on it. Are there any problems to expect with Linux (Debian)? (Kernel is 2.0.27) Kind regardsbjs
/etc/hosts?
Hello,
1.)yesterday i needet to change my /etc/hosts file cause it wasn't
possible to use 'talk':
127.0.0.1 localhost
0.0.0.0 localhost
Since my machine has the name 'thunderstorm' i changed /etc/hosts to
this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
0.0.0.0 localhost
127.0.0.1 thunderstorm
0.0.0.0 thunderstorm
Are there any problems to expect, for example when using pppd?
2.) And there is a second question. I have a 'ppp-on' file in /bin
(it's my ppp-chatscript). Owner is root, group is ppp. Permissions are
-rwxr-x---. When trying to start it as root i get the following:
bash: /bin/ppp-on: No such file or directory.
(Note: I am still in the root-home directory and startet the
chatscript simply py typeing 'ppp-on'.)
As attachment i ll place my ppp-chatscript.

3 Questions...
Hello, 1.) i can`t find a file called 'man.config' on my debian 1.2.6. So what should i do? (i need it for configuration stuff) 2.) Normal users (members of the group 'ppp') should be able to start a dialup internet connection via pppd. What groups must they be in? I have added them to the following groups: 'ppp', 'dialup', 'dip'. Is there any group missing, or is there one to much? (can one of the groups cause security problems?) 3.) My users aren't able to start internet services like ftp, www or telnet. The programm starts, but services can't be used. (root of course _can_ use them). This is what happens when starting ftp as normal user (ppp group member): ftp ftp>open (to)ftp.uni-paderborn.de Host name lookup failture As root, this is no problem, so what must be changed?
