I screwed up (again). I misunderstood that this was a linux client. Under
linux or unix there is runsock wrapper to sockify clients. But I've never
had any luck with it.
Back to your original make question. It still appears you are missing a
library, with all the
unresolved references. Can you email the person/place you got the code
from?

Subject: LCP: timout sending config request - Please Help
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 08:39:58 GMT
Hi, I'm a newbie on Linux and will be grateful for any help:
I'm trying to config my PPP0 to connect to my ISP.
My ISP has no chat session, i.e. no login and password needed. On win95 it was
configured that the PPP session starts immediately.
Debugging my PPP session on Linux, I see that the serial connection is
established correctly, then there is the line (on the log) "connect: ppp0 <-->
/dev/ttyS0" then after 30 seconds there is "LCP: timeout sending
Config-Request" and the modem disconnects.
I have read that there may be something wrong with the chat session but I
don't see what, especially as there is no typical type chat session.
I'm using redhat 5.2
Please help
Thank you,

I've read that I probably need to subnet my C class in 2 subnets :
1 between my routeur and firewall
1 for my DMZ
So I have to add a route in my cisco for the DMZ network. This
way I understand because the two interfaces cards are not in the
same network, it's subneted.
Eg:
192.123.12.1 netmask 255.255.255.128
IP numbers from 192.123.12.1 -> 192.123.12.127 (hub behind the cisco,
not protected)
IP numbers from 192.123.12.129 -> 192.123.12.254 (Hosts in the DMZ
routed
by the firewall).
Looks good ? The only problem is that I'm not the cisco owner and I hope
they will be ok to configure it a particular way.

Yes, and I'm not sure ipfwadm rules will work in a bridge configuration.

This is a RFM question, but I need to know which FM's.
Going to build a Linux box to replace an existing server, and
turn it into a "Not There (tm)" box.
The linux box will have two ethernet ports, and needs to be
a web server, a proxy server, a mail server, and a firewall.
Oh, and it needs to be a DHCP host for the (proxy) served clients.
The DNS and NNTP server will be provided by the ISP.
I will want to administer the system remotely, preferably
with my X server.
Pointers, or BTDT stories? It's a matter of pride to make this

Subject: Problem trying to start squid 2 in Linux 2.0.36
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 09:10:55 GMT
Hello all my Squid friends! I am trying to set up Squid for the first time.
I am involved in an important project to set up Linux labs in Universities in
Japan, in this case Tokyo University. If you can believe that I am one of
the lead engineers (witholding your chuckle) in this project, thank you!
The fact of the matter is that I am learning as I go.
Here is my problem. I am trying to start Squid 2 with the commands:
/usr/sbin/squid -z /usr/sbin/squid as instructed in the QUICKSTART file in
the /usr/docs/squid directory. When I type "squid -z" I get "Creating Swap
Directories" as a result. No problems there. But when I enter "squid" the
system churns and crunches for about 30 sec., and then silence. It never
concludes the command. I.e., I am not returned to a prompt but instead the
system just sits there staring at me like a mule. Won't go foreward, won't
go backward. Doesn't freeze or die, but doesn't complete the command. (At
which point I end up doing a Ctrl-C to exit this dark and quite emptiness).
Here are some specs about my system:
Squid 2
TurboLinux 1.0 (kernel 2.0.36)
As for the configuration of squid.conf, I followed the recommended settings in
the QUICKSTART, included in my distribution. I.e., the most basic settings.
Nothing in the troubleshooting section of the User Guide mentions this type of
problem, and a lot of the documentation out there still references pre-2
versions of Squid.
Please help. My neck is on the line with management on with this one.

It's appletalk. If you need to use appletalk you can select it
when you build a kernel. The fact that you get this message
implies you are not using the absolute latest net-tools package
but it isn't a problem.

Yes you need to enable something called, "policy routing". Possibly
the worst documented part of Linux kernel.
There is a massive over-lap between the capabilities of the "forward"
ipchain and policy routing. Both can effectively achieve the same
functionality but the rules are speified in a different way. "policy
routing" can specify specify different next-hop/interface based on
source address.
I'm sure some sort of rationalisation is over-due.
Does anyone know of good documentation on policy routing? (The stuff
given in /usr/src/linux/Documentation is rather rudimentary).
I've been thinking of knocking together an article for LJ comparing
the two mecanisms.

Subject: Help! ncpfs/dosemu under Netware 4.11
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 11:07:53 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am on a Novell 4.11 network with 2.2 kernel with every IPX feature
enabled in the kernel, Debian distribution, running ncpfs to connect
as a client, primarily working in DOSEmu .9.8.5, with DOS 6.22 as my
hdimpage within the WordPerfect DOS shell. I am unable to work
effectively because
(a) I am not recognized on the network as a full user -- when I try to
use WP Mail or Calendar or Scheduler, it tells me "access denied". If
I try to log in as an _unknown_ user, it gives me the response that I
am _unknown_ on the system, so it does _recognize_ me.
(b) One out of every 5 times I try to look at directories in DOS,
it shows me there is nothing there or only one out of hundreds of
directories. If I play with it for a while the directories show back
up again eventually - for no reason I can identify. I can access and
make changes to a database for a few minutes, but then it kicks me
out, saying I don't have sufficient permissions on the network!
[c] I can't load any DOS volumes beyond k:, even though I am using
exactly the same procedure, as far as I can tell, to do so. I need,
for example the "w:" directory. I tried "lastdrive=" to no apparent
effect.
[d] Everything is painfully slow, especially working in the database
until it kicks me out. This is purely a function of the network
because, if I run the same applications in exactly the same way, only
on my local hard drive, they work fine.
I mount the volume with "ncpmount -S [the Novell volume] -V sys
/mnt/e: -U ftp". ("ftp" is coincidentally my actual Netware user
name, which is my initials.) It does prompt me for a password, and
the Novell server shows that I am properly logged in as a user.
Within my config.sys in the hdimage, I have the following, where "d:",
which is my local actual /dev/hda3, is used as a place-holder to
create the drive letters I really don't need on the network::
device=c:\emufs.sys /mnt/d: [becomes d:]]
device=c:\emufs.sys /mnt/e: [becomes e:]]
device=c:\emufs.sys /mnt/f: [becomes f:]]
device=c:\emufs.sys /mnt/d: [becomes g:]]
device=c:\emufs.sys /mnt/h: [becomes h:]]
device=c:\emufs.sys /mnt/e: [becomes i:]]
device=c:\emufs.sys /mnt/d: [becomes j:]]
device=c:\emufs.sys /mnt/k: [becomes k:]]
In /mnt/, f:, h: and k: are defined as links to the appropriate
subdirectory of e:/sys/, so that the above works in DOSEmu config.sys.
(1) Is there anything I can do working with ncpfs so that I can log on
to the network as a regular user and be recognized as such?
(2) Is the only way to be on the Novell 4.11 network as a full user to
use the Caldera package? I am concerned about doing that not only
because of the size, but because Caldera licensed that from Novell,
and the Novell client for MS Windows messes up an application I really
want to use, DPMouse for DataPerfect.
(3) Why can't I have drives above k:? Does someone know how to use
lredir with a Novell volume? (I have done that with local drives on
other machines, naming up to drive "v:" for DOSEmu purposes, tying
that in with the fstab).
I have no choice about staying on the Novell network or staying in DOS
for large portions of my work for at least the next year. I can't
migrate to wider use of Linux unless I can get get some work done in
Linux where I am right now..

How do I automatically run startx so that I don't have to do a console

runlevel to lower levels (from 5 to 4 to 3), but the best I could get was a

Subject: ISA network card problem with RedHat 5.2
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 17:56:39 +0800
Hi, all,
I am a new user to Linux, also this newsgroup. Actually, I have a problem
for the above mentioned question.
I have a ISA PnP network interface card. I have disable the PnP function
within the BIOS of my computer. I leave the card setting as PnP enable.
When I try to install the RedHat 5.2 onto my computer, everything is fine.
I just need to answer the NIC part as below:
NIC type: Novell 2000 compatible
IRQ: 10
DMA: 0x2A0
And the installation can completed without any error.
However, when I check with the NIC, I found some problems with it. I can
ping the NIC by using the loopback IP address (127.0.0.1) and the assigned
IP (131.107.2.200, for example). However, I cannot use the ping to connect
other computer on the same network segment. In addition, I found the NIC
card has zero value of TXs and RXs with ifconfig command. I don't
understand why this happened.
Could anyone can give me a hint or idea about this?
Thanks.

You ran out of masquing buffers.
You could restart (flush) masquerading in ip-down, or as standard script use
a symlink to ip-up in section ip-down) of ip-up.
In the standard script there are 3 lines in ip-up:
ip-down)
# restart the interface
/sbin/ifconfig $INTERFACE down
sleep 1
/sbin/ifconfig $INTERFACE $IFCONFIG
;;
which IMHO would also the internal masq tables.

As already stated by another post, 2.2.2 uses ipchains.
If you are using standars SuSE scripts (configured by YaST), you could
define at the beginning of /etc/rc.d/masquerade
IPFWADM="/sbin/ipfwadm-wrapper"
Also note that SuSE's firewall script is not suited for dynamic IPs because
it is started during network startup (runlevel 2/3) where the dynamic IP is
not known yet.
For a firewall for dynamic IP (started during ip-up) look at:

So, here's how I solved it: - Started YaST - "System administration" -
"Network configuration" - "Network base configuration" Here I deactivated my
ethernet adapter(!). Back to previous menu. - "Configuration nameserver"
Entered the IP of my nameserver here too. /etc/resolv.conf still looks the

the network menu again. - "DHCP Client" Started this client. Exited YaST.
Now Netscape 4.5 works.
Seems like it was a DNS problem for me too, only I had to use YaST to convince

You have called your linux box "server".. this is NOT something that is a

alias file for this so steers it to root.
I think my first question is therefore, what do I need to do
to fetchmail to get it to pass on the right addresses.

Subject: Samba: Sharing a remote printer
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 06:52:56 GMT
We have print servers which aren't working very well.
Jobs fail and repeat (due to failure) which fail again.
Users have no idea who is currently printing (jobs are
spooled on the local NT station of each user)
I solved these problems by connecting the printer to a Linux
box, but we can't put a Linux box every where we have a printer.
Is it possible to define a remote printer on Linux and then
share that printer? Would the jobs then be spooled on the Linux
server? (I couldn't get the server to recognize an Axis 560 print
server).

Don't install new kernels unless you know what you're doing. And if
you do, read the accompagnying docs.

Hi all,
we are using an Cisco router with NAT and 4 static IPs to go into the
Internet.
The router gives the client the IP for 2 minutes.
Now I want a firewall between the client's and the router.
Can anyone give me some hints, whitch Ports must be enabeled, with
not.......
Do I have to use the static (official) IPs or the private IPs from our
net.
Thanks
CU
