The thing to search for is "samba". It is already included in most Linux distributions, so you can simply "mount" a Windows share, for example by adding a line like (change the parameters to suit your needs): //10.1.2.3/C$ /mnt/disks smbfs noauto,uid=nyh,gid=nyh,username=administrator,password=QwERTY 0 0 to your /etc/fstab and running mount -a (see the mount(8) and smbmount(8) manuals). > 2. can i allow logins (telnet logins) only from know ip's, without > installing a firewall? Yes, by editing the /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow file. Check out the hosts_access(5) manual. Of course you should know that telnet's security is really crappy, because it passes passwords unencrypted over the line... [by the way, this is assuming your telnet goes through the tcp wrappers (tcpd). It did, under most inetd setups. I'm not sure about xinetd] -- Nadav Har'El | Sunday, Jun 2 2002, 22 Sivan 5762 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |All those who believe in psychokinesis, http://nadav.harel.org.il |raise my hand. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
