Re: ppp log security (was: couldn't match host name or address)
Well, the bo base install disks make /var/log/ppp.log world readable (why?) so that anyone using the system can then see the password. Aaron Walker [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Does it really matter?

Re: couldn't match host name or address
I got it working. Thanks to all that helped. But now another, sorta related question... Now that I can connect to my ISP under Linux, is it possible to connect under Linux then get access from netscape under my Win95 box (their both connected via ethernet)? How would I do this?

However, I haven't done this yet (I plan on it when I decide how I will connect my boxes together). Yes! I use it on my system here. My Win3.11 machine acts basically as it did with the modem in it, but all my systems can access at the same time. I have a feeling that the Win3.11 machine responds faster, as recieving one fast packet over ethernet, rather than recieving lots of bytes over modem and then having to put together a SLIP packet would be less processor intensive??? Anyway, I recommend IP Masquerading, You need to recompile your kernel though, and add IP_MASQ. After compilation, you type two lines, to set it up and you're away!!! I was thinking it would be difficult, but just I just followed the HOWTO, and it was very easy!! Hope this helps, Tim Customer: I'm using Windows 95 Tech Support: Yes...

I put the one second delays in because I've found that some isp's can't handle an immediate response. I left out the \q after the password because it doesn't belong there. Its presence in the example file is an error. You should also test to see if your isp supports pap. To do this just delete everything on the chatscript after the word CONNECT, set up your pap-secrets file, and try it. -- John HaslerThis posting is in the public domain.
