need some help on ibm whistler = interjetII

2002-06-24 Thread KitCat

hi!

i´ve  an  interjetII  and  i´ve  heard, that it´s possible toget root-access via
telnet  on  the  freebsd  operating  system by pressing a special combination of
keys.
i´m  just  a  student and i can´t spend my money on a special corporation to get
this  hepl.  and  i  was  just  a  lucky coincidence to get the interjet form my
ex-firm i worked beside my study (the firm go bust ;-) ).
so please help me!

i  also  were  fine, if anyone could tell me, if (and how) i can replace freebsd
with windows ;-)

many greetings  sorry for my english!
Benjamin

u if you have an IJ-II then
you must be leasing it from IBM. And IMB is ending all teh leases and
recalling them.
They never sold them as far as I know.. no wait you are in .de..
hmmm that may be different..

the best way is to take out the disk.
put it on a freeBSD system
edit /etc/tty to turn on the serial console..

While the OS is in fact FreeBSD..
(4.4 at the latest upgrade avaliable I believe)
I don't think that people here would know of any such cookies..


I wouldn't mind a IJ-II myself actually..
nice machine as a boundary firewall and router for the home..

Why do you think you need root access.?

hi!

ok, that may helps a little...

i  want  the  root  access,  because i´ve a dsl-internet-connection, and i isn´t
supported  by  the  ij-package  at  now.  so  i  hope,  that  i can activate the
dsl-feature  with  root  access.  i  hope,  you  are  not rolling over the floor
laughing  ;-) perhaps, you know a better (low-cost) solution, that i finally can
use   the   ij   as   router/firewall/ftp-server(/mail-server???).  btw: i´ve no
static ip :-) another handicap (i think)...

good n8!

The IJ-II (in it's newer releases of software) supported PPPoE DSL
connections.. Unfortunatly you have NO HOPE of turining it on
if you get to root as everything is controlled from a database
and not standard flat files. You need to do it through the web interface.
(maybe the LCD)

do you know what release of the software you have?
do you have PPPoE on your DSL?
is it attached by ethernet?
Do you have the manuals?


If you have looked in the interface and see no PPPoE or DSL mentioned
and you have an old release,
you may be able to upgrade the software to get PPPoE

If you don't know how to upgrade, (you should have received instructions
with the machine) the latest version for  .de is:
-rw-r--r--  1 0  0  34843407 Sep  6  2001 4.3.cpio.gz.e
-rw-r--r--  1 0  099 Sep  6  2001 4.3.cpio.gz.e.md5

on the whistle ftp site..
in the directory  /interjet/de

I don't know what the encryption key for .de releases was though..

whoever administered it before should know.. or maybe another ex-whistle
person can tell you.



 
 good n8!

By the way..

IJ-II's in .de were leased from IBM via Deutche Telecom so theoretically
it's stolen property..
IBM is recalling them and destroying them however..
pitty...
nice product.

They sold them in Japan.  They may have sold them internationally,
otherwise, as well, but I don't think so.  The sales in Japan were
CPE sales to NTT DoCoMo.

Probably the same reason you think you need root access on your
UNIX machines.  8-).

There's a company that will root InterJets for $50.  They also
replace (in IJ I's) the 10Mbit network card with 10/100Mbit,
and will upgrade the IJ I's 28K modem to 56K (not usually useful,
since you can't sync 56K if you are going through a PBX).  And
they will upgrade your memory (not always a good idea on an IJ I,
unless you can get the right memory sticks with the tin, not the
gold contacts).  You can find it with a Yahoo search fairly easily.

Julian, Archie, and I, and Mark Peek, and Evan Oldford, and ...
all know the magic root password.  But we can't tell you, or
we'd have to kill you, since there are thousands of places that
are still using them.

Sorry about the telnet... I can tell you how to turn it on,
but since you don't have a Whistle, Inc. Engineering network
IP address, it's not going to do you any good.  8-).  Well,
it would let you in from the office net, I guess, but no
remote maintenance, if that's what you are looking for...

If Mark Peek is still with IBM these days (he hasn't told us
he's not), then he probably still has full source code for
the thing.

Mark, are you listening?  Put PMTA out on Developerworks,
please!  8-).

THe answer is that that's a subscription key controlled feature,
and costs more money to activate.  You have to download a key
as part of the ACL configuration talking to your NOC, and to do
that, basically someone at the NOC provider has to put key codes
into Commander (the database at the NOC).

Having root access wouldn't give you a cryptographically correct
key signature that matches the public key on the InterJet itself.

Probably the easiest thing to do would be to put a DSL modem
on the permiter network, and beg Archie to tell you how to
dump and reload the existing ACL to set your default route
out the permiter neteork, rather than the WAN interface.

I could tell you more, but I'd have to kill you.  8-).
