You may use a oridinary PPP dialin useing mgetty+pppd.
D.h. mein Chef will sich direkt ins Modem einwählen um Zugriff aufs LAN zu haben.
my boss want's to dial up via modem to get access to the LAN
Configure a mgetty dialin port i.e. with AutoPPP or PPP only. Define some usable IP addresses for that, usually it should be possible to use some private IPs. Don't forget to check the routing; if the modem is not attached at the default router of your lan, at least this host needs a route to the host with the modem.
Gibt es da vieleicht ein fertiges Tool für?
Is there a tool avialable for that?
The pppd is able to provided the needed functions.
Wenn ja: kann man eine Firewall auf auf dem gleichen Rechner laufen lassen ider besser auf einem anderen?
If so, is it possible to install a firewall on the same host or is it better to use another machine?
Install firewall at every place it makes sense. The first router behind the uplink should do packet filtering, if you are more paraniod you may wish to set up a packet filter on every router. Of course this depends on your local configuration and you networks topology. oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.
