I just got networking up and running (I think) but I get a weird message
when I try to telnet in from a Mac connected to my NetBSD machine over a
local network. On my telnet window, I get the standard login screen that I
would expect when I connect via telnet but when I try to log in, I get a
message "jam login refused from this terminal" but if I enter a bad login
name, I get the standard "Bad login" message.
On the NetBSD machine, when I attempt a connection from the Mac, messages
appear on its screen like:
Aug 28, 1997 00:23:45 toad jam LOGIN REFUSED FROM hobbes ON TTY tty0
NetBSD machine = toad
PowerMac 7100 = hobbes
Me = jam
I believe this is what the messages were saying (I wrote them down and then
left them at home this morning). Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
Also, if I use the following (with different IPs):
ifconfig ae0 111.111.111.111 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 111.111.111.255
and it seems to configure my ethernet connection correctly, should these
values set the network connection permanently or just until I restart or
shutdown? Currently, if I shut down or restart, I lose this info and have
to do ifconfig again.
