If it's 'Standard' then it's just: ssh -u username ip of server assuming you have a user account on the server, of course. If you have the security level set higher, you may need to configure the server to accept connections from specified hosts. Edit /etc/hosts.allow with the IP of the box you want to connect from, and edit /etc/hosts.deny, which may have an all setting in place.

RE: [newbie] remote access to mail for m$ users???
Something else to consider is a Windows client called Calypso It's totally free, no adware/spyware, and runs like a charm. Hasn't screwed up once with my customers. Allows for all the normal bells and whistles of Outlook Express, without the hassles. Does a tidy job of avoiding the usual virus traps that plague Outlook Express, and allows for auto-backups. Set this up on 60 Windows clients, with their backups automatically going to their My Documents folders on an LM 8.2 server running Samba. Backup of the server is done nightly. Also managed to get around the McAfee Anti-Virus bug that was deleting emails from Outlook Express. Might be simpler than your present course. Just a suggestion.

Re: [newbie] remote access to mail for m$ users???
Why not a port of a linux client, say a sylpheed windows based application. try here http://claws-w32.sourceforge.net/ Jayme On Tue, 19 Nov 2002 13:49:39 -0800 (PST) Kenn Murrah [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Okay, gang ...

Would it be possible (or even practical) for Windows users to access my server via cygwin/XFree86, so that they could use a linux mail client instead?

And for security's sake, would it be possible to mirror my EngardeLinux email onto my Mandrake box, so that I wouldn't have to run X on my EngardeLinux but rather on a box with no exposure to the Internet? I've already set up cygwin/XFree86 on my test box and tested its connectivity to the box I hope to use as a mirror, so if you folks tell me i'm not entirely off my rocker --- I need you to point me in the right direction to learn about how to mirror (if that's the correct word here) my EngardeLinux mail to the intermediate box ... Of course, I'm a true newbie here, so feel free to tell me i'm nuts and suggest a better way to accomplish my goals. thanks, kenn __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [newbie] Remote access to Webmin
There's something else you're going to want to look for, or your webadmin will NOT allow you access to the interface. As ROOT, edit the file /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf I believe it's line 11, that by default reads: ssl=1 Unless you have ssl configured and the cert created, you will not be able to gain access to the webmin. If you change that line to read: ssl=0 You will be able to get by using http://hostname:1. Once you've gotten that far, keep in mind that webmin will ONLY recogize the root user, and the root passwd specified at install. If you have since changed the root passwd, the new passwd will not work. So I hope you either remember the original root passwd, or haven't changed it. As far as ssh goes. Stick with it! It's more secure then telnet unless you're using another kind of telnet. I know FreeBSD comes with a secure telnet that uses SRA secure login. [timh@yoda timh]$ telnet ic.net Trying 152.160.8.96... Connected to ic.net. Escape character is '^]'. Trying SRA secure login: Personally I am fortunate enough that if I'm some where with an Internet connection, I can get into my box. But I have access to a server that does support telnet, against my better judgement. From which I then ssh to my machine at home. Or I'm at work where we use secure connections for everything, or at a partner's house who's machines are set up very similarly to mine. Once you have the webmin set up, you can use the ssh function that comes with it. As long as the browser supports java, you're good to go. If you insist upon going away from ssh, then verify if telnet is installed. Use this command to find out if telnet, and telnet server are installed. [root@r2d2 /root]# rpm -qa | grep telnet gnome-telnet-2.4-2mdk ktelnet-0.7b1-7mdk telnet-0.17-7mdk As you can see there is not telnet-server on my machine. I forbid access to my machine via telnet. tdh T. Holmes UNIXTECHS.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Real Men Us Vi! | I have webmin setup but I want to access it from another computer and I can | not.

[newbie] Remote access to Webmin

Re: [newbie] Remote access to Webmin
First you need to make sure that webmin is running. At a shell do a : /etc/init.d/webmin status if it comes up with: miniserv.pl is stopped Then webmin is not running. Do this at a shell to get it running (as root): /etc/init.d/webmin start Then it will print out: Starting Webmin [OK] And then to be sure it is running to this again: /etc/init.d/webmin status if webmin is running it will print out this: miniserv.pl (pid 1421) is running... (the pid will vary) There are many many ways to remotely control your machine, command line is all you need. Although webmin makes it alot quicker and easier because you can use it from any machine, even if it don't have an ssh client installed. If you want to use ssh you can run X through an X session, just make sure that x forwarding is enabled in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config. And you can even do this through windows. On my work windows machine I use a combination of SecureCRT and Reflective X. SecureCRT is a windows ssh/telnet client and Reflective X is a windows X server. Now if you are on dial up I do not suggest doing this because it consumes alot of bandwidth. h3rb On Monday 28 May 2001 11:57, David Travis wrote: I have webmin setup but I want to access it from another computer and I can not.
