Well, I certainly hope there's more to come. Maybe just post the

Two things I can thing of off the top of my head...
Did you compile IPX support in the kernel?
Was the ppp program itself compiled with IPX support? For example, I don't
think Red Hat 5.2 compiles in IPX support for ppp.
I'm doing the same thing right now with Debian 2.1.

Subject: DNS related PPP problems.
Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 12:13:02 GMT
Hi
When i attempt to connect to my ISP with RH5.1, the connection appears to take
place no problems, but for some reason the connection is not made the default
root. (ie. no DNS address's are decoded etc, the network device isn't even
available to access).
To solve the problem, I have to manually execute:
route add default dev ppp0
to assign the ppp connection as the default one for network access's (i have a
NIC connected to a local network too).
I cant seem to solve the problem, in the control panel options for the modem
(and linuxconf for that matter) it is set to register itself as the default
route upon connection but it DOESN'T. Note, there is no other default
connection present on the routing table, and the PPP connection appears upon
connection, but refuses to accept a single transmission until i make it the
default route.
ANY help appreciated.
Cheers.
Chris.

Subject: e-mail timeouts
Well, another case of everything working fine, then suddenly it doesn't.
I have a RedHat 5.2 (2.2.4 kernel) acting as my server/masq/diald/etc.
for a WinXX network. Last week, something happened that prevents me from
sending e-mail. I can browse the web, receive e-mail, ftp, telnet,
everything else, just fine. But when I send an e-mail from Netscape on
the NT box, Pine on the Linux box, where ever doesn't seem to matter, I
get timeout errors. It says it sent the message fine and is waiting for
a reply, then times out with a message about "smtp connection terminated
at remote end" or some such thing. All of the error messages from each
platform refer to a broken connection at the remote end. I've tried
manually connecting via ppp-on script and not running any of the
ipchains stuff, just connect straight and send a message from pine.
Still a problem. This would seem to point to something in the kernel or
pppd wouldn't it? BTW, I'm running the new ppp-2.3.6 version on the
2.2.x kernel patched to 2.2.4 which didn't fix it either.

So let him use FP. No need to install the proprietary, pre-compiled

In my Experience, nearly everyone wanting FP support in a business

"Running a getty", yes. "Running uugetty", no. The preferred getty for
serial dialin/out lines is mgetty, at least, on the Linux side of the
world.

The very first revision of the Serial-HOWTO was published back in
1993. And mgetty does have a very good documentation that comes with
the source package. Read it.

>input and output. Where can I find documentation about mgetty?
[...]
Install the mgetty+sendfax RPMs , or (preferred) get the sources and
recompile it for your own system. mgetty is highly configurable by
using plaintext config files. And it allows incoming PPP sessions, which
can not be done that easy with any other serial getty.

Actually, no. The RH script ifup-ppp says ppp1 but the actual connections

More likely the modem has a problem and is not correctly flushing it's

Are you using a NT machine to authenticate? If so I found something recently
in the
Samba archives as follows.....
9) NT Guest Access
What you are seeing is normal and deliberate.
MS Windows NT can be configured with the guest account enabled. When this is
the
case no logon attempt will ever fail. Instead NT will allow the user access
as
the guest account IF the username and / or password are incorrect. In a
situation
where Samba is using and NT system to validate user passwords, if the NT
server
guest account is enabled then a user logging on as "root" will always be
valdated
even if the password was incorrect. There is NO way that samba can tell from
the
reply packet from NT whether the password was correct and normal user
privilidge
has been granted, or whether the password was incorrect and the user has
been given
only "guest" privilidges.
In short, if we were NOT to do what we do, then there would be no way of
telling
whether or not the password server allows guest only logons. Were we to just
accept
the validation response from such a server the a user could easily gain
"root" level
access to a Samba server.
Now you would not really want us to change the current behaviour, would you?

The following question involves RedHat 5.2 w/ kernel 2.0.36.
I have set up a linux box between my internal network and my gateway to the
internet. IP forwarding is on. Traffic is forwarded out on eth0, but is not
forwarded back in on eth1. This has been tested with no firewall rules to
inhibit. How do I check the system to make SURE BOTH network cards are
forwarding and ensure that they do. Thanks.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,
Heres one some of you may have seen before:
On a reahat 5.2 machine using bru 15 PE I attempted to remotly backup a
partition onto a 4mm DAT installed on a sgi computer. This is what I
get as an error when I attempt to archive a test directory "temp" to a
sgi server called "ucmodl" and tape device "tape":
node1 2% bru -c -vv -f ucmodl:/dev/tape temp
bru: [W002] "ucmodl:/dev/tape": can't open archive: errno = 24, Too many
open files
bru: [A121] load volume 1 - press ENTER to continue on device
'ucmodl:/dev/tape'
The linux box bru works fine on local filesystem or archiving to a
file. The sgi bru (ver 9.1) works fine as do other sgi's remotely using
the tape via bru. The linux box has full permissions to the sgi ucmodl
and by checking the logs on ucmodl I don't see any access attempts by
the linux box (as I do when other computers are remotly accessing the
tape). /etc/rmt exists on the sgi too. I even added the following to
the brutab on the linux box:
# remote 4mm DAT drive
ucmodl:/dev/tape devname="Remote DAT on Ucmodl" \
size=2000MT bufsize=20k tape rawtape rewind \
ignoreclose minrewindtime=90 maxrewindtime=300 \
rmtsh="/bin/rsh" rmtsvr="/etc/rmt"
And obtain the same error i.e.:
node1 7% bru -c -vv temp
bru: [W002] "ucmodl:/dev/tape": can't open archive: errno = 24, Too many
open files
Help?! I don't need to use bru I guess but it _should_ work and its
driving me crazy : ). Thanks for any help/advice.
Bob.
