I can't say for sure, but maybe you have a bad harddrive, or harddrive controller? I got my old 486 (a packard hell, no less) up and running without any problem using Slackware 7. And with Slackware, you don't have to install anything for X. On Fri, 17 Mar 2000, Lighthouse Keeper in the Desert

[techtalk] Multiple IPs on one NIC

2000-03-07 Thread lilith
First, I would like to thank everyone who answered my earlier question. You were most helpful :) Second, under Slackware 4, I was able to use ifconfig to configure multiple IP addresses for one NIC. eth0:1, eth0:2, etc. However, I have upgraded to Slackware 7 and can no longer accomplish this.

Couldn't you use hosts.deny to deny all telnet/ssh/etc access to the machine, then explicitely allow yourself or anyone else you'd like to have it through hosts.allow? If no one is to get shell access on that machine, you could simply not load the telnet daemon if you have ready access to the ma
