If you are asking "how do I do a shell login to my ISPs computer" the answer is simple. You DON'T. Few if any ISPs will allow that for security reasons.The "shell" you get with a regular internet account is not a real shell in the sense of getting access to system files, typically its something like a special "ppplogin" thing that ONLY lets you start PPP. We do allow proper shell accounts to some users on a very limited basis at Apana Brisbane but never on a mission critical machine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Macrolosa" <edvard@post.omnitel.net> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2001 6:55 AM Subject: login-MODEM > Hi all, > I wanted to ask, can I log into UNIX computer where I have an > account and got the > shell???
