Thanks for the advice ,
unfortunately I was too busy to try your suggestions yet,  but I'm 
also not confident they'll help
since after typing 'telnet 90.0.0.3' I immediatley 
get the response 'connected to 90.0.0.3' but 
it then takes a long time for the login prompt after connecting . (
lynx & netscape also get an immediate response from the other
machine(i.e the apache intro page))

Re: [expert] Null password

1999-07-22 Thread Mike Fistonich

This isn't a partcularly good solution but I  installed  usercfg from a
5.1 cd onto my 5.3 installation  so that i could create users with no
password.
For some reason usercfg seems to have been replaced by userconf in
later releases (I hope i'm remembering those names correctly)

Hi 
Does anyone how I can reduce the long delay when 
telnetting between two linux (L-M 5.3) boxes ,
they can ping eachother with no delay but 
ftp &  telnet do nothing for 30s or so 
before the login prompt .
cheers

I've found that the oss  (Open Sound Sytems) sound config program easy
to use and it configures my
 soundcard which was otherwise unsupported .
