From: hdesiato@wam.umd.edu (Digital Phantasmagoria) Subject: Net-2 shadow quirks, PLIP, other ghonk Date: 30 Jun 1993 17:24:41 GMT
I recently installed Net-2 (!?! ;-) ). It's sort of working. I got the
source for it and patched in the shadow password support. After some
annoying hacks, it compiles. Cool. However, the shadow part doesn't work.
If I FTP to myself I got anonymous working, but anything that requires a
real password doesn't validate. In telnet, since there's no guest account,
I get "bad password" for every login. Rlogin works, for some reason.
Does anyone know where/how I can fix this? I even got a net-2-shadow
source distribution from the /Incoming directory in sunsite, but no
difference..
Also.. I'm thinking of installing PLIP to network 2 computers enough (I'm
too poor to get a REAL card or Internet or anything) Does anyone have any
advice? I have no idea where to look on TCP/IP, I am stupid.. could some
kind person steer me towards some documents or something? Thanks..
BTW, I also (when killing X-Windows) did something like:
find /usr/bin/ -perm -700 -exec ldd {} ";"
to find out what the bins were linked to - so if it was linked to libX, I
woulkd kill it. Something _bad_ happened. The find would show about 10ish
entries, and then wouldn't show any more. Since this was in the
background, I assumed it was finished, died on core or something(?!) but
then I did a ps-auxw and found it was still running! When I killed the
processes from another terminal, the first tty behaved erratically - half
the time, each key I hit was treated like a command with a <CR> after it,
and the processes would switch between getty (when I tried to log out, and
killed the shell) and the shell itself - several copies of the shell were
spawned.
I haven't the faintest idea. Should I just ignore it as a quirk or something?
I'm running .99pl10, normal standard configuration..
Thanks!
