Enter the password (that you added from your Web interface as just described), and you are taken
to the following Configuration menu:
Coyote Linux Gateway -- Configuration Menu
1) Edit main configuration file 2) Change system password
3) Edit rc.local script file 4) Custom firewall rules file
5) Edit firewall configuration 6) Edit port forward configuration
c) Show running configuration f) Reload firewall
r) Reboot system w) Write configuration to disk
d) Dial PPP connection h) Hangup PPP connection
q) Exit Menu l) Logout
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Selection:
Select the letter of the configuration item you want to change. Type q when you are done, and you are
left at a regular Linux shell prompt. At that point, you can use Coyote Linux as you would any (somewhat
limited) Linux system from a shell. (Type menu if you want to return to the menu interface.)
As previously noted, the first time you open the browser interface to Coyote Linux, you change the
root password. As for basic administrative tasks, you want to read the system log on occasion and
back up your configuration changes (which you have made in RAM) so they are copied back to the
floppy.

To use ssh from a Windows machine to get to your firewall, or to get to any other Linux
system for that matter, many people use the putty utility.
