The problem: When I set up a slip.login for a remote site they are able to login and connect to this site [202.14.100.1] with no problem. However they are unable to connect to any other site out side this box [202.14.100.1]. Here is my /etc/slip.login file ------//snip//--> #!/bin/sh - # # @(#)slip.login 5.1 (Berkeley) 7/1/90 # # generic login file for a slip line. sliplogin invokes this with # the parameters: # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7-n # slipunit ttyspeed loginname local-addr remote-addr mask opt-args # /sbin/ifconfig sl$1 inet arp $4 $5 netmask $6 -----//snip//---> I am at a loss to why the remote site can not go any further than just this box. The slip login should pick up my [202.14.100.1] routing and be able to ftp / telnet etc outside this box. It has been suggested I do a "arp -s <REMOTE IP> <ETHERNET AD> pub" but this does not even work. It has been suggested I add the -interface command to the slip.login like /sbin/route add $5 -interface sl$1 however this simply creates an error at slip.login and does not work (do I have the correct syntax?) nor does it allow the slIP user to login. People I am at a complete loss to what to do next. I guess if there is another 386BSD <or simular> box out there on the net who has slIP working I would LOVE to hear from you, or any body with any hints on what to try next as this does have some urgency. Thanks in advance Kind regards Jon Clarke sysadmin status.gen.nz +--------------+---------------------------------------------+--------------+ | Jon Clarke | Public Access Unix in Auckland New Zealand | HEXAGON | | status.gen.nz| BBS (+649) 358-1052, 358-1092, 358-5543 | HSBC NZ EBD | +--------------+---------------------------------------------+--------------+ -- +--------------+---------------------------------------------+--------------+ | Jon Clarke | Public Access Unix in Auckland New Zealand | HEXAGON | | status.gen.nz| BBS (+649) 358-1052, 358-1092, 358-5543 | HSBC NZ EBD | +--------------+---------------------------------------------+--------------+
