I had an idea.... What if I set up a linux box with mgetty+sendfax, with
the auto-ppp patch installed, and for the normal login process used
instead rlogin to connect to our main computer. (The ppp would use a
diff. protocol for authentication). What security issues should I be
aware of for this to work how I want it to? (which is for the dial-in
users to enter thier password and be logged into the main system....)
Thanks in advance,
Jeff Barrow
