I'm also a newcomer to the Linux world, I've had it installed for five
days now, and a lot of that has been spent on Kermit and term.
What I want to do is attach a socket at uni to a socket on linux, or
more specifically, to a login prompt.
I've got term going fine, so that I can trsh back and forth. Then I tried
to use tredir to connect the sockets setup. So from uni I did
tredir 12345 23
thinking that this should attach the remote port 12345 to my telnet
port. Also I tried 12345 by itself, hoping it would just create a login.
When trying to connect from uni, (telnet <local> 12345) I get
a connection but then nothing happens. Is there something wrong with
my telnet connection? It works just fine when I telnet localhost 23
from home.
Also, when I trsh back into linux, some characters (in particular line
feeds) don't get through. According to the man, I can set up my
~.term/termrc file to escape these characters. How do you do that?
Is termrc executed before an rsh is set up or what?
Also, after I run tredir, my trsh dies (freezes). Is this supposed
to happen?
Yours, in an effort to avoid suid trshs,
Craig.
