I need some help from you folks on what may seem like a REAL newbie type
question. I have no experience with SLIP/PPP on a Unix host. The extent
of it my knowledge is watching someone setup an account on a NetBlazer for
a number of users with Suns at home to connect to our net.
It was decided that we would require the use of
password tokens (one-time password generators) for ALL remote access to
our net (Remote being "not in this building"). I've been looking very
closely to SecurID which is supported by the NetBlazer as the solution
to use for SLIP/PPP users (SNK-004s would be used for dial-up and telnet
only users due to its lower cost of support via the FWTK).
The problem is that one of my SLIP/PPP-users-at-home is telling me
that there is no way to interact with the Solaris <--> NetBlazer
negotiation sequence. Is this true (and I'm getting a load of
crap from the SecurID guy)? Or is this user feeding me a line of
crap? Is this the case with MOST Unix SLIP/PPP implementations?
What do YOU do about SLIP/PPP at YOUR site? (Most of my SLIP/PPP
users are Engineering types if that makes a difference.)
Please respond directly to me due to the 'newbie-esque' nature of my question.
Thanks,
--
