#1 Yes you can telnet and ftp to a pc on a dial up connection. I would suggest you go to: www.justlinux.com or one of the similar sites and look into dns forwarding service. You install a simple little perl script and run it when you log on and it references a sub-domain to your current IP so your machine can be found with a simple name.
Thanks Darren. I have already set it up, but I had a feeling that the problem was another because before doing it I tried:
anovo@friedman anovo > telnet 130.126.xx.xxx Trying 130.126.xx.xxx... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
After setting it up at justlinux.com, I tried:
[anovo@galton anovo]$ telnet xxxxxxx.penguinpowered.com Trying 130.126.xx.xxx... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
I believe I need to change some permissions, hosts.allow or something in the neighborhood. Can you or someone else point me out in the right track.
Thanks a bunch,
Alvaro
Yep I think that tcp wrappers is set up by default so you will have to add an entry to /etc/hosts.allow something similar to this: in.telnetd : 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 LOCAL With this I allow in my local machine and my local network 192.168.0.x You can enter single IPs or ranges. check out the man page for hosts.allow. As I said before I don't allow telnet from remote. I run a firewall also so even if I enable it here it won't get through, but that is how it works. The syntax is a little tricky so you may have to get help depending on what you are doing. I know I needed it. On IRIX . . .what I usually admin. . .hosts.allow is much more straight forward and easily changed, but here. . .different story. Once you know what each server is to the system (file names, commands etc.) it's much easier to understand. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darren R.
