I have a Linux server which serves as an Internet gateway for a 5 PC (Win9X) network. The main user of the network wants to have 2 icons on his desktop (Win9X) such that: By double clicking the first one, the LinuxBox dials-in the internet and the 2nd logs him out. I would suggest to install putty and generate a ssh key without (or maybe with?) password. With this key the user can login to some special account and perform something like "sudo <command to start inet connection" in
On May 12, Chris Bek <chris001@softhome.net> wrote: the login script and another account for stopping the inet connection. You just have to setup sudo (or wait, I think that even normal users can start/stop an inet connection...). You can even give putty the remote command (just looked it up): Preferences->Connection->SSH->Remote command.
The current installation of the Linux Box is a 7.2 SuSE out-of-the-box installation. Someone else said, that 7.2 is no more supported. This is wrong, it will be supported until 8.3/9.0 (or whatever the next version will be named) is out. But you should regulary run yast online update or fou4s.
