hi,
I was trying to build netatalk 1.4b2 on Red Hat 5.2(kernel 2.0.36) with
gcc 2.7.2.3 but failed.
When compiling the main.c of afpd component, it complains that one of
symbol(essentially TIOCNOTTY, which is defined in asm/ioctls.h) is
undefined. I tried to look at the included headers and it should be
perfectly defined. I could compiled it without any modification on
Slackware too.
Did anybody have similar experience? How did you solve that?
thanks
Benny

My networking was fine. The problem seems to be that web servers want
to know their name really really badly, and are unhappy with anything
less than a fully-qualified domain name, which I don't have. Telling
it it's name is 127.0.0.1 seems to have solved my problem.
Sorry to bother you all.

David,
I'm not aware of any free IPSEC implementation for the Linux kernel 2.2.x.
However, FreeSWAN (http://www.flora.org/freeswan) is supposed to migrate to
2.2.x within the next months.

I agree with that. It seems the most 'mainstream'. I was just on their

pumped in some capital to get in on the action. That's a very telling sign.

You're making things hard on yourself. Do it the other way around.
Plug the printer into NT, then use samba to print to the printer from
your linux box. Linux is great but sort of primitive (still). I don't
know about your Zenographicss thing (software ?) but it may just get
in the way. I'm using Epson inkjet printers (Photo & 640) on my NT an
98 boxes and used the Samba option in printtool under the linux box. I
gave it //BOB1/EPSONsty1 & 2 and it worked without a hitch. The linux
box is limited to it's own funky ESP2(BW) & Stylus color 360dpi
drivers but it's fine for an occasional web page, text file, pdf or
other linux printing. On the wintel side the drivers for each printer
is installed on both NT & 98 machines. OBTW, make sure the printers
are shared on the wintel boxes and your /etc/samba.d/smb.conf is set
up properly.
PS. Don't be so selfish and crosspost to SOOOO many groups. By
attempting to cover the bases, you've effectively become a spammer. I

Subject: Netscape Error Message
Date: Thu, 01 Apr 1999 06:41:44 GMT
I'm having Netscape problems. It seems to lock-up...also I'm receiving this
error message when I first start Netscape:
Visual 0x23 is a 4 bit Psuedo color visual. This is not a supported visual;
images will be displayed in Monochrome. Currently supported visuals are:
Static Gray, Grayscale. true color along with the bits.
The display does change from blue to mono gray. And when I try to close NS,
that's when it seems to be locked. Also using KDE for dialing, I set the modem
baud to 38 something with a 33.6 modem, but once connected, the log show I'm
connected at 9600 baud.
Any help will be appreciated.
I'm using Caledra's Openlinux 1.2, I have S3 Virge 4mb video card, external
modem and KDE desktop. Thanks. Steve

this is definitely not a winmodem, and it is not pnp either. i'm fairly sure
that i have the link pointing to the right com port since the modem is not pnp
and i have it pointing to the same com port as win95 uses.
i'm not necessarily looking for someone to tell me what the problem is with my
modem, though that would be nice. i just need to find out some resources.
i've looked through all of the HOWTOs that seem related and there is nothing
there for me. help please.

I installed red hat 5.1 with a dual boot with nt server, I have q windows
working with a regular mouse but it wouldn't fly with my logitech first
mouse. I have a few questions.
1., How do I get linux to mount my nt drive.
2.,In X windows /control panel I can see my modem and it is connected on the
right com port, but what do I need to do to configure a dial out connection.
Can it be done in x windows? The book I have just talks about networking all
in command line.
3., How do I go about getting a win 95 box connected. The win 95 is already
connected to the nt partition and has dial out as well.
4., Xwindows only flys when I'm root, with othe users it just hangs at the
checkered screen.
5., In command line DIPS says go away when I enter dips -i. I'm in root at
the time.
Thanks for any help I get. I would appreciate if I could be emailed copy's
of the replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

if this is a linux box, try '/sbin/ifconfig', will display the MAC

You have to add www.adrian.com to the name resolving part of the apple.
I do not know how to do that.
On a linux box you need edit /etc/hosts
Somewhere there must be a line containing your computer name & ip
adress,
add there www, e.g:
192.168.1.1 mycomputer.home.nl mycomputer www

Hi there,
I am using 2 network cards on my linux server, one connected to the internet
and the other connected to the local LAN. One of the nic is Inter eepro 100
and the other one is a NE2000-pci clone from realtek. Interestingly both the
cards share the same irq i.e. irq9.
-Will not this be a bottleneck during heavy network activity?
-Can I or rather should I allot another irq to one of the cards and if so how?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I've been able to debug my script and get connected thanks to this page

I have not heard of dialp. Do you mean diald? Diald is what
I use to start and stop my connection. If you bring up Netscape
on my Windows machine it will cause diald on the Linux machine
to call my ISP. After so many minutes of inactivity, it shuts
down the connection.
Your other choice is to install a later version of ppp. I think
versions after 2.3.1 or so will dial on demand for you.

If the printer demon is still trying to print out a previous print

Subject: Can't logon to NETBIOS DOMAIN across Linux with IP Masquerade
Date: Thu, 01 Apr 1999 23:12:38 -0500
Hello there,
I have a question regarding ip masquerade.
I've read everything I could find on HOWTO setup IP masquerade on Linux.
And it works... ping, telnet, ftp, etc... all work fine.
There is only one functionality that I need and I couldn't make it work:
To connect to my company, I need to establish a ppp connection with
dynamic address
alocation (DHCP). This gives me only one address where the need for IP
masquerade
which provides me connectivity to my company from any system in my
house. I run
Windows95 with IBM Network CLient(Netbios over TCP/IP, RFC1001 and
RFC1002). But I
can't logon to the Network DOMAIN on the company intranet from my home
workstations
via my Linux firewall (with masquerade).
I can locate the Server with the "Server Locate" function on Win95. I
can ping the server,
I can see it with "nbtstat -a [server_name]", "netstat -a" shows the
following entries:
"UDP [workstation_name]:nbname *:*" and "UDP
[workstation_name]:nbdatagram *:*" as expected.
For test purposes, I temporarly used a slip connection with a range of
addresses
(for my home workstations) setting a WAN via modem. Without masquerade,
straight
routing across the slip, NETBIOS over TCP/IP worked fine and I could
logon to the
DOMAIN.
Why doesn'it it work via IP Masquerade? Do I need a special IP
Forwarding Policy?
