odd prompt

1999-05-14 Thread wtb
Suddenly I am no longer getting the name/password prompt after boot. Now the prompt issh-2.01# and seems to give root priveleges without query. Is there a way to get back to proper security prompt??? Thanks, Bill

How can I convince pppd (and pon) that defaultroute is enabled. They both return the error 'defaultroute is disabled' even though I think I have it edited into all support files. I am unable to vi pppd.Thanks Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Can someone give me a hint as to how to troubleshoot ppp. I had it dialing and negotiating but have accidently or otherwise killed all action. When I try pon I get the message that pppd does not have defaultroute activated in /usr/sbin/pppd. /usr/sbin/ pppconfig has defaultroute activated.??

Does Debian 2.0 (hamm) installation have an ftp and mail program included to use with the ppp? I have the pon and poff controlling my modem. It dials and makes all sorts of wierd noises but then what. I need ftp to avoid floppy problems in getting netscape and X packages. Thanks, Bill

Kudos to the developer who fixed lowmem.bin!!! Recall that it would not do the required swap partition tricks. The new lowmem.bin dated Dec 98 and carried in the slink directory worked like a charm. It had hamm installed in about an hour smooth as silk. Quite a treat after three months of pu
