Hi again, well in my network settings there is no gateway specified .. in my tcp/ip settings DHCP is enabled ..

So ask yourself why you are not allowed to do this? BTW, if you try to break company policy, you are likely to get terminated from your job. If I was your admin, I would be taking up this matter with senior management and taking steps to get you fired. If you cannot work wthout YM or other facilities, take the matter up with management and get the policy changed. >& every time i start my browser & give a URL ..squid asks me for a login & >passwd which is similar to the official mail id i have as squid & the mail >server r running on the same server.. is there any way i could bypass that >authorization or save the passwd .. coz in win2000 the "remember passwd" >& "save passwd" really doesnt save it for the next use.. No, you do not have that choice. That is asked by squid, which will force authentication.

RE: [ILUG-BOM] Telnet Server

Hi Guys! Thanks for your help, all of you. I got around the problem. It turned out to be a trivial solution. I forgot to set the firewall setting. I set that to allow telnet and bingo! Any idea how do I allow root access via telnet? I am very much a newbie in Linux, so please forgive my trivial questions. :) Thanks and regards, Shailesh. > On Thu, 6 Sep 2001, shailesh bhate wrote: > > > Now, I can telnet from the same m/c but not from any other m/c. > > Did you check your tcpd wrappers? ipchains rules? > > -- > Don't drink when you drive -- you might hit a bump and spill it. > > > Visit my webpage at http://www.ncst.ernet.in/~philip/ > Read my writings at http://www.ncst.ernet.in/~philip/writings/ > > MSN philiptellis Yahoo! philiptellis > AIM philiptellis ICQ 129711328 > > _______________________________________________ > Next Online IRC LUG Meet on 31st Aug @ 4:30pm > http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers > >
