Date: 10 May 1997 15:29:58 +0200 Organization: Ericsson Software Technology AB, Erlang Systems Lines: 20 Message-ID: <d2ohajsbe1.fsf@erlang.ericsson.se> NNTP-Posting-Host: townsend.ericsson.se X-Newsreader: Gnus v5.3/Emacs 19.34 Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:40686 I have ppp and IP nat/aliasing/masquerading working but I'm puzzled by a small problem. I have the same user ID on the remote and local machine. When I connect with "ppp" I can directly do a "rlogin remotehostname" but when I connect with "ppp -alias" and try to do a "rlogin" I get a "rlogind: Permission denied.". I can still do telnet/ftp/whatever but not "rlogin"!? Is this the way it is supposed to be? If not, what can I do to find the problem and solve it? Unfortunately the other machine in my network is a Macintosh so I can't try out if other machines on my local network have the same problem or if it is just the machine that run ppp. I'm not a system/network administrator (except that I try to administer my own FreeBSD box) so please explain the steps in detail, /kgb
