Good Afternoon,

I have a user logging on to our VPN server, and he's having difficulties
that I'd like to go over with him. I believe he is running either a
Netmeeting or PcAnywhere host on his machine at home, and I'd like to
get his IP without having him have to search for it.

I would imagine that once a user logs on to the VPN server a log is kept
with their IP on it.

Anyone know where..

The event viewer just says that user xxxx logged on/off at x:00


Thanks.

Luke MacNeil.

i am not sure if NT automatically logs or whether you actualy have to go in
there and enable logging/auditing? you might want to post this on
msnews.pulic ng's.

Lucky you,

Trying to make me jealous?
I'm actually setting up my debian box here at work.. If it were my
choice, we'd be switching over now.. But I notice you have your
Security+ .. is that certification worth anything or is it just another
step toward MCSE?

I'm taking night classes now for A+,Net+,Linux+, MCSE.. Theres another
certification after that too... A security one.. CNPP maybe, or
something like that.. I forget.

What steps would be necissary to secure this debian box enough no to
open more security holes than we already have?

Luke.

hi there. you are going to want to post this on a *nix.security ng. both
unix & linux should be fine. my *nix skills & knowledge are too basic to
give any advice of any use on security debian boxes.

re: sec+, it's an entry level cert in the security field. the study
materials gives you an nice introdiction into CBK security domain
concepts. i did MS ISA for my elective, so it wasn't towards my MCSE.
