I have FreeBSD on my work machine and last night have installed it on my home PC as well (converting both from Caldera Open Linux) (both 2.1.7-RELEASE) >From home, I can make a PPP connection (dynamic IP) to an IP network, and can perform all traditional ip functions, including telnet/rlogin/ftp into machines, but when I try to rlogin to my work FreeBSD box, a connection is made, but I'm never prompted for a password -- the session 'freezes'. I did not have this problem when connecting to my work FreeBSD machine from my home Linux box. I experienced this back with 2.0.5 and earlier 2.1.X's, as well, and I suspect that may be caused by dynamic ip addresses or the dynamic domain name assigned to each connection. Perhaps the client/server is blocking when attempting to resolve a domain name? Does anyone know what this could be? Thanks, Rich rbeer@jaguar.cris.com
