What happened to `rlogin` [with iC2]?

Question

If you want to move your body from Moscow to Boston, you'll probably need an airliner and a security-checked-visa. But if you want to put your hand in your own pocket, you shouldn't be forced to use the international-transport-system and security hurdles.

But becos the kiddies want to play-smart-ass, they tell me that I need ethernet & SECURE-shell to access the rPi's file next to the PC:Slakware.

Previously, when all PCs had par-ports, there was `plip` which apparently could inter-connect closely located PCs.

Couldn't IC2 [2 wires] & some simple software replace the ethernet/SECURE-channel farce?

--- @ rPi -> man rlogin == shows manual for ssh ?! @ rPi -> rlogin 192.168.0.1 == connects to PC:Slakware : OK/Good. BUT after ping to confirm interconnectivety: @ PC:Slak -> rlogin 192.168.0.1.2 == connection refused @ PC:Slak -> ssh 192.168.0.1.2 == Dud

Since I always run rPi as root, let's `sudo ifcongig eth0 192.168.0.3` as user:pi == @ PC:Slak == /home/Hardware/Raspberry/ethN# ssh 192.168.0.3 The authenticity of host '192.168.0.3 (192.168.0.3)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is 9f:4f:d0:96:58:e7:26:35:99:fe:34:c6:a6:e6:49:15. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added '192.168.0.3' (RSA) to the list of known hosts. root@192.168.0.3's password: Permission denied, please try again.

I'd say you're the unknown dog, trolling again.

Ethernet is present, and works. What would be the point of setting up  something extra, and less capable to replace it?  --  Alan Adams, from Northamptonshire

Rob · Answer

Get one of those "USB to 3 wire" adapters and connect it to the Pi, and you are ready to run PPP or even SLIP over that. or even easier, serial console (with Zmodem for transfer).

No need to invent anything, it all is already there.

Rob Morley · Answer

If it's already there he doesn't want it, and he'd rather reinvent the (square) wheel than accept any sort of de facto standard practice. Surely everyone sees that by now?

IV,V,VI,VII is present, why 'invent' 4,5,6,7

'Decimal' which evolved from the freak convenience of finger-counting, is present; why DESIGN alternatives.

Progress *IS* the movement away from entropy/chaos towards simplification: extracting the essence.

Why use a rPi, when the Wintel MONSTER is present?

If you're lonely and want to play 'personalities' rather than exchange tech-info, why don't you join social media. OTOH apparently many posters here do the girly who's-who thing.

Windmill · Answer

I'm very much in favour of reinventing the wheel. It's a great way to learn, and you just may stumble upon something new/useful in the process. But you're on your own. You have to do it yourself. Little use complaining about the preinvented wheels. --  Windmill,        Use  t m i l l J.R.R.
