Need help connecting to the server remotely

[Srividhya Narayanan]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up our hp-ux 10.20 server so we can connect remotely to it using telnet/ftp (For example from home using a dial-up). I tried setting it in REMOTE LOGINS under NETWORK AND COMMUNICATIONS in SAM.

But I'm unable to connect. Could someone help me with this one.

Thanks so much,
Sri

Just to get your started...have you checked to see if your inetd.sec file is blocking you from the outside???
/var/adm/inetd.sec

Check and see if there is something in there possibly restricting to allow only when ip range is.... or something similar..

Like I said just something to get you started..

/rcw

Hi,

I checked that file and it does not have any restriction on the IP address.

Could anyone please give me the steps to set-up the server to remote login. All I did was go into REMOTE LOGINS in SAM and added a service. Are there any other changes that are to be made in order for me to connect using a dial-up network. Please Help.

Thanks so much for all your help,
Sri

I think Dialup network of Windows95 uses PPP/SLIP. So you need to have "pppd" running on your server to accept ppp inbound-connections. See the following for setting up "pppd. http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90137/B2355-90137.html.

If your objective is to just do remote login, then just have a modem with getty running on in it and use hyper terminal of win95. For setting up modem for this purpose follow the URL.

The Remote login you configured within SAM is for systems to be able to login via rlogin without giving a password.
The file is updating you're .rhosts file.

What you need to do is to remotely connect via a modem to the server(have a modem connected on the server).

Thanks so much for all your responses i'm going to try to install and configure PPP on our server. I'll let you know how that goes.

Thanks again,
