I think you should lower your security to mediumsecurity, high security is pretty extreme in its restrictions.
Re: [expert] high security server
what kind of client/server network are you running? If you're running a Novell network you're going to be needing NDS in order to log onto the network and identify yourself to the servers. You will also need to use IPX protocols if you're making use of this protocol, which many still do that run Novell. I'm not sure what you may need for an NT network other than a large gun and maybe some C4. I'm sorry, but I hate windows and for more "good" reasons than I care to get into right now. At the moment I'm facing a similar prediciment. Where I work we run a Novell network. I'm able to see all the machines that currently are using NETBEUI, and there are precious few for obvious reasons and I can access them as well from my Linux partition on my Windows machine. I know...convoluded, isn't it? I'm unable to see the network volumes though because I don't have access to Novell's authentication since there isn't a Unix client install on my machine and the protocols necessary don't exist on your system. So, I'm stuck for moment trying to figure out and learn how to use Vmware so that I'm able to run Linux on my workstation, and then when I must, run Windows at the same time in another window and have access to that OS and it's applications at the same time. At this particular point in time, the best of both worlds. -- Mark ** =/\=| ** _||_ | ** =\/=| Registered Linux user #182496 On Thu, 27 Jul 2000, rharvey wrote: What do I have to do to get access to my Linux box?

The high security mode is *not* designed for servers, as it assumes you
want to forbid everyone outside access to your machine.
It deactivates every service and changes ownerships of the directories so
users can't access other users' directories.
To work around that, either type "msec 3" to put your machine in "normal"
security, or do the following steps:
1- run "ntsysv" and activate the inetd and httpd services on boot
2- do a "chmod 0755" on these directories: /var/log/httpd, /home/httpd,
/home/ftp
3- the services will run on next boot, but you can start them now by
running /etc/rc.d/init.d/{httpd,inetd} start

Re: [expert] high security server
you have to start appropriate services.. for eg, for ssh, you need to run sshd at startup.. similarly httpd for www server. -sarang
