–Configuration:
-QNX Box: QNX 4.25; Photon 1.14; TCP/IP for QNX4.25;
-Phindows 1.20 on Win Boxes;
–Problem
For security reasons, we dont want anyone on the net having Phindows to
easily get acess to the QNX Box, as it happened in a large network. (You
just have to know the Address and use the “-n$NODE” option.)
I posted this problem in Quics in August 1998 and read the QNX4
Knowledge Base article “Phindows security issues”, but now I have to do
something.
The only solution seems to be making the tcpip of the QNX Box or phrelay
secure.
- Public domain “TCP-Wrapper” was mentioned to be “easy to setup and
pretty secure”. Is it available for QNX? Where can I get it? - I was told by QNX (Norbert Black) there might be “Secure Sockets as
part of the tcpip4.25” coming. Are they available? - Any other solutions that allow Dittoing (we need it) but are secure
(with a password, or permit only certain addresses)?
Thanks a lot for answers, Juergen.
