Some of these are going to seem so silly, but I’ve forgotten them at least once:
Telneting in - make sure that telnetd is installed and running (silly people like me forget).
Serial console - to use your olde psion as a console you need to do the following:
1) make sure getty is installed (you’d hope so, wouldn’t you).
2) add an entry to inittab as follows:
s0:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS1 DT9600
where S1=Serial port 1 (S0 is the other), and DT9600 is Dumb Terminal, 9600bps.
3) add the following to securetty:
ttyS1
Or ttyS0 for the other serial port. Now use kill -HUP 1 to restart the getty.
Samba shares - Although the Samba config file tweaking all seems a little hit and miss, you may need to add users to samba. Instead of arseing around with the two file in /etc, use smbadduser, this will add the user to /etc/smbusers, and a password to /etc/smbpasswords.
