Date: 25 Nov 1995 05:53:58 GMT Organization: University of California, Berkeley Lines: 16 Message-ID: <496b1m$54r@agate.berkeley.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: nemesis.its.berkeley.edu Summary: sliplogin gives a flood of shell prompts Keywords: sliplogin, slip, slipserver X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hi all, Attempts to set up slip service on my 2.0.5 box are getting me nowhere fast, is the version in 2.1 any friendlier? I've created a slip.hosts file with the hostname and IP number of the client system, but when I invoke sliplogin hostname (while su'd to root) the result is a complaint about SIGIOFLAGS and a flood of shell prompts. If there's an idiot's guide to setting up slip service it'd be most helpful; the slip.FAQ seemed oriented toward setting up a client rather than a server, please tell me if I'm mistaken. thanks! bob
