One VPN question

Hi,

My setup is as follows:

1) HeadOffice----->Private subnet: 192.168.0.0
2) Branch1-------->Private subnet: 192.168.200.0

I'm connecting from branch1 to headoffice thru VPN and I'm able to access all PC's except SCO UNIXWARE 7.1.1 box.

I have made a search before posting this question and I saw one suggestion from RTM about /etc/hosts.allow & /etc/hosts.deny files, but I don't have these files.

Any idea.....

Regards,
Tayyab

Yeah, SCO box is at the same subnet i.e. 192.168.0. Nodes at 192.168.200.0 can access every thing on subnet 192.168.0 except SCO box.

Edited: 15-05-2006 5:53 PM TZ=+3 GMT

I have searched thru SCO site and UNIX manuals and found that following files and services are needed to be configured, but how?

tcpd
/etc/inet/inetd.conf
/etc/inet/hosts.allow
/etc/inet/host.allow

Problem is that, right now, I want to allow only one branch thru VPN but that has dyanamic IP address, does windows NetBios hostname'll work only in this case?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Tayyab

I think following should work for me, since in.telnetd is the only service which I want to allow thru VPN, if I would add in my /hots/inet/hosts.allow file:
Code:
in.telnetd: ALL
Couldn't test it, but I'm hopeful that it should work.

Best Regards,
Tayyab

tcpdchk output:
Code:
# tcpdchk -v
>>> Rule /etc/inet/hosts.allow line 45:
daemons:  in.telnetd
clients:  ALL
access:   granted
But why still I'm unable to access this box from outside subnet? I would request moderators to move this thread to "Networking" forum, so that I can get reply early.

Regards,
Tayyab
