I have my modem connected to my FreeBSD machine, and i have a sparc connected to my fBSD box over the ethernet. What would i have to do so that the sparc can go over the ethernet straight to the internet if it wanted, for use of ssh, etc.. instead of having to telnet to the freebsd box and then out onto the net? Use ppp w/ the -alias switch or pppd w/ natd. The ppp primer (in the tutorials section of www.freebsd.org) gives good directions. With ssh, you're going to have to copy your machine's public key to the sparc as they'll be masquerading as the same machine on the internet. This makes ssh's impossible between the two local machines. It makes things a lot saner if you share /home on both machines too ;-) > thanks. > Nick Thompson > nick@imperial.org > > -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
