We have a VAX system on our network. As a security measure, our sys admin has chosen to not give it an IP, but to only allow connections to it via terminal servers. This seems to introduce several unnecessary devices into our network. I would like to put a Linux box between the VAX and teh rest of the network. I think I can convince the admin to remove the terminal-only access if a user must log in from a certain IP address verified by the specific MAC address of their NIC. I have no idea how to capture the MAC address and the IP and compare them in a table. Any ideas? Thanks, Brian - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
