dialdc is not part of diald but I assume it just sends "up" to
the control fifo?

And dialdc queue does...? Impulses are timer events. Diald shouldn't
bring the link up becasue a timer event occurred. You need to read
the diald documentation and enable filter match logging to see what
packet diald sees and what it thinks it should do about them.

The DE-220 series is supported by the NE2000 driver. Note that
some 220s are jumper setup, some are soft set up via a DOS program,
some are ISA PNP, some are combinations. When using the NE2000
driver (ne.o) as a module you need to specify the io and irq of
your card.

You might have already come across this, but in case you haven't there is a
step-by-step guide to install netatalk at
http://thehamptons.com/anders/netatalk/impatient.html. It is pretty
straight-forward.
I have installed netatalk on several different machines, and for the most
part it works great. When you download it make sure you get the
netatalk+asun package. There are RPMs available, but I've always had better
luck with the source. If you have any problems installing it, drop me a line
-- I'd be glad to help.

That's correct. Netatalk needs Appletalk support. If you get that message
when you boot, it means that you do have Appletalk support enabled. Netatalk
runs as a daemon, not a kernel module, so it is always running (just like
sendmail is). It uses little memory, so you shouldn't have to worry about
anything like that.

If most people can't even set up win98 at home, what hope have they with NT?
If you want to see how easy it is to set up a home network, with IP
masquerading, firewalls etc. I would reccommend John Sery's book 'Linux
Network Toolkit' (IDG) which comes with all the software you need to get it
going. Starts off with simple networks and works up to workgroup size complex
ones.

wu-ftpd, the default FTP server Linux comes with, is a real drag to setup
with this sort of behaviour. I run ProFTPd (http://www.proftpd.org/) which
makes things *really* easy to setup restrictions like a chroot jail.
If you get ProFTPd and are having problems setting up the chrooted jail,
drop me a line and I'll send you what I have in my configuration file which
will accomplish what you want.
If you want to disallow telnet access for a given user, just set their shell
to /bin/false, like so:
patrick:x:500:500::/home/patrick:/bin/bash
...would become:
patrick:x:500:500::/home/patrick:/bin/false

Subject: papd prints to local printer but with 8 minute delay
Date: Mon, 29 Mar 1999 12:36:06 +0200
Hi there,
this is a problem with the papd from the netatalk package:
My configuration:
Non-PostScript printer (Canon BJ-200e) attached to my Linux box (dev/lp1)
Apple iMac attached via Ethernet to my Linux box
My problem:
I can print without problems from my Linux directly to the printer.
Now I want to send print jobs from my Mac to the printer
I think I set up everything correctly with the help of Mike Pearson's
Ghostscript/Netatalk HOWTO. Now this is what my /var/log/messages says:
Mar 26 21:36:52 orangina papd[478]: child 580 for "orangina-bj200e" from
41201.173
Mar 26 21:36:52 orangina papd[580]: lp_conn_unix connect /dev/printer:
Connection refused
Mar 26 21:36:52 orangina papd[580]: lp_print: lp_conn_unix: Connection
refused
Mar 26 21:36:52 orangina papd[478]: child 580 done
The funny thing is, about *eight minutes* later the printer does print
exactly what I want it to print. There are no more error msgs then.
(I disabled background printing on the Mac).
This behaviour I could reproduce for several times.
What is missing?
I am printing as user h0444xyv and my atalkd.conf looks like:
orangina-bj200e:\
:pr=ps:op=h0444xyv:pd=/etc/PPD/APLWNTR1.PPD:
I put the host name of my Mac into /etc/hosts.lpr, is this of relevance?
The status file and the lock file I made (temporarily) read- and writeable
to anyone. Still I am stuck.
Any hints would be great,
Martin.

Sorry, my fault. (Seems I *was* terribly mistaken...) I usually don't
use the interfaces option, and I didn't take the time to check the man
pages :-(
However, on a Linux running Samba (with IP address x.x.x.3) I set the
interfaces option to x.x.x.0/24 and it runs quite fine but is a little
slow. Once in a while (quite often, really), /var/log/messages reports
"Waiting for 3c509 to discard packet, status 2001.". Could that be
because I had set the interfaces option incorrectly? (Yes, I have set
the correct options now.)

I've got a strange problem. My modem has stopped initialising. It worked

just does nothing. When I initialise under dos it works perfectly. I
have tried everyuthing, there is no lock on the modem, initialisation
code is correct, /dev/modem and /dev/fax is connected to /dev/cua3 .
What do I do wrong? What should I check? Please help me.

Subject: samba via nullmodem cable possible?
Date: Mon, 29 Mar 1999 12:45:58 +0200
Hi there,
currently I am trying to set up my Linux box as a Windows for
Workgroups file server.
Now, my Linux box and my WfW box are connected via a nullmodem cable.
Right now I am using Trumpet Winsock to teach my WfW comp TCP/IP using
Slip.
Everything works fine with this configuration.
Now my problem: To set up Samba I have to use the Microsoft TCP/IP
stack, haven't I?
When I tried to install the package my WfW comp complains that it cannot
install TCP/IP capability using a nullmodem cable. It demands an
Ethernet card.
Well, TCP/IP is possible using Trumpet Winsock, though!
Any hints would be of great help, since I already searched some
databases :(
Thanks, Martin,

Also make sure the cards are setup correctly. Usually best to use DOS

Hi there,
I want to enable dial-in to my Linux box via the POTS line using an
internal modem.
To do that I followed the Serial-HOWTO.
Everything works fine except that my modem takes over already after the
first ring.
Now, I want to lead an ordinary phone call, too, but my modem is faster.
How can I set up getty (using the conf.getty.ttySx file?) to let the
modem answer after, let's say, the 6th ring?
Thanks in advance, Martin.

kernels 2.2.x support QoS (quality of service) which allows you to set
rules as to how packets are queued in a routing/forwarding setup. I
