Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Problem Connecting from Windows base OS to linux Post 986 by PxT on Wednesday 31st of January 2001 11:34:48 AM

usually when you connect via ftp or telnet to a Linux box, it will try to resolve the hostname of the machine that is connecting. If it can't do that due to DNS failure, etc it will hang for a while until it times out. If this is the case in your situation, then a fix would be to add entries to your /etc/hosts for the Win NT/95 machines so the Linux box knows their hostnames.

Let us know if that doesnt help and we can explore further.

dnsspoof

DNSSPOOF(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       DNSSPOOF(8)

NAME

       dnsspoof - forge replies to DNS address / pointer queries

SYNOPSIS

       dnsspoof [-i interface] [-f hostsfile] [expression]

DESCRIPTION

       dnsspoof  forges replies to arbitrary DNS address / pointer queries on the LAN. This is useful in bypassing hostname-based access controls,
       or in implementing a variety of man-in-the-middle attacks.

OPTIONS

       -i interface
	      Specify the interface to use.

       -f hostsfile
	      Specify the pathname of a file in hosts(5) format. Only one hostname allowed per line (no aliases), although hostnames  may  contain
	      wildcards (such as *.doubleclick.net).

       expression
	      Specify a tcpdump(8) filter expression to select traffic to sniff.

       If no hostsfile is specified, replies will be forged for all address queries on the LAN with an answer of the local machine's IP address.

FILES

       /usr/share/dsniff/dnsspoof.hosts
	      Sample hosts file.

SEE ALSO

       dsniff(8), hosts(5)
