Remote root login

E=/dev/console Comment this out to allow root to login from a telnet session. I don't know if there is an equivalent file to /etc/default/login with Linux . . . anyhow, the security issues aside, that is how you allow root to login remotely on Sun Solaris 2.5.1 and 2.6. Regards, Paul Pa

PPP and NFS conflict?

-install RH unless I have to. There has to be some configuration file that enabling the PPP changed, but I can't fine it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Progress!

Hi Michael. I think you've got the right idea with the NFS mounts. First though, your are correct in that the IP of the NT system is 10.0.0.1 (it's an isolated network, so it doesn't matter.) I can ping, FTP, telnet, etc. between the NT and Linux systems so the network connectivity is OK.

NFS problems (REPOST)

-- This is a re-post because I only got one reply. It was suggested that I use Samba instead of NFS mounts. I agree Samba is easier, but for educational purposes, I need to determine if I can get NFS mounts to work using MOUNTD. Also, I posted the request over the long weekend when most of

Problem with NFS exports

Anyone have any thoughts on this one? It's a bit long winded, but I want to give all the details so anyone who has seen this before may pick up on what I've missed. I'm trying to get Linux (RH 5.0) to export a directory to an NT or 95 system. I've done this hundreds of times at work

Will this hardware work with RH 5.0?

I know there probably isn't a yes/no answer to this question and I won't really know until I try it. Realizing this, I would like the opinions of the Linux gurus. Are there any known incompatibilities with the following system I plan to load RH Linux 5.0 on: 266 Mhz Pentium CPU Asus P2L97
