[Herefordshire] IPcop troubles

[Andrew Hodgson]

Hi,

I have not used IpCop before but as it's a pre-packaged distribution I
would guess that you are probably using the wrong username.  It is
highly likely that root may not be enabled, and you may need to use
another name to get into the shell.  The manual would be the best place
to look for this.  Also is it likely the passwords you enter are for the
web user interface and not the shell?  Stabbing around a bit here.

Andrew.

Hello all,

My struggle with various aspects of Linux continues.

I have a Win box and a Linux box.  Now that I have broadband am hoping
to use an old PC as a firewall box.

I have installed Ipcop, filled in the various options including the
asked for passwords for hostname 'ipcop' and domain name 'localdomain'
according to the instructions. When I re-boot and try to get into the
system the
passwords come up as invalid.   I have now re-installed three times and
am
getting rather fed up with the whole thing.

What am I doing wrong or do I need to enter something different at the
command prompt?

Regards,

Noel.
