 On seeing this message, it surely waddled like a duck to me.  However,
 in order for it to work, I had to use this syntax:

Indeed.

Apologies for any confusion. For "cat 0  ...etc", read "echo 0  ...etc"

I tried before to find the answer to this question but I didn't succeed.

I have a linux box which is a gateway to the internet for our LAN
(windows machines + IP masquerading).
I'm trying to allow access from the internet to one of the win95
machines running pc-anywhere server.
I tried it with portforwarding and rinetd but it didn't work.
Can anyone help me ?
Does anyone have experience with this ?

I have RH6.0 running, connected to a private (192.168) network. The
Linux runs DHCP, IPMasq and connects to my employers network (10.x) and
my ISP (dynamic IP address) using ISDN. I don't have DNS running: just
put my ISP's DNS addresses in /etc/resolv.conf. Is there any use in
enabling DNS on my local LAN? Why should I want it??

 I have the Etherlink XL TPO NIC(3c900B) ethernet card. I was woundering if
 this is supported by Redhat linux 5.2 as i can see the 3c900 is supported.

 Also is there anybody out there who knows how to get a cable modem working
 on redhat 5.2

I got the same card given to me when ADSL installed.  Call it a 3c9x card
and it will be happy.  I suspect once the 1's and 0's get to the NIC from
the cable modem it will work the same as ADSL.
Some annoying pitfalls from just filling in the URLs for the card and the
cable modem/isp DNS occurred afterwards.  Go into linuxconf and tell the
adapter to use bootp vice manual, and also tick the box that says DNS
required that is above it.  These are not shown on the install routine.
RH6/Mandrake changes the linuxconf a bit, and I had a *wonderful* time
installing because it will only auto probe for one NIC [no matter what
ether=blah blah I tried], and would find the LAN ne2k clone on IRQ9.  Don't
bother setting up the network on install, do it via linuxconf, and if you
have two NICs LIE A BIT.  I told the system to use the 3c509 driver and that
it was on IRQ 10 just to make it probe, and then it goes and does the
correct thing as PCI NICs will report themselves.  Not elegant, but it
worked.

I think the argument that the syntactical differences aren't compelling

things like // comments, declaring variables at point of use, class names
as types, etc.  I still find the following 5 things the most compelling 
reasons to use C++ over C (roughly in decreasing order of importance)

1) Data Encapsulation
2) Inheritance
3) Polymorphism
4) STL library
5) Templates

Exception handling didn't make the list, but it's not far behind.
Name spaces didn't make the list, but I like them too.

I'm partially convinced that references and operator overloading are 
negative features (except for new and delete) so I avoid overloading
which cuts down on the need for references too.  I don't use 
references simply to clean up syntax, but others do find it useful.

Subject: 3c509 not found

Playing with Slackware 2.0.35.  I cannot get the kernel to pick up my 3COM
3c509 (Etherlink III - UTP only) ISA network card.  I am trying to connect 2
slackware boxes together to set up a "test" network for development.

I am using a crossover 10BaseT cable to connect the machines.  The pins have
been verified using a pin tester as correctly crossed.  Note: I have tried
this all with the cable connected, and without.

The system is a Pentium 166 using a Tyan Tiger III MB.  Award BIOS revision
4.51 (1997).

I have IRQ 10 set up as non-pnp (ISA Legacy) in the system bios.

The machine is a dual boot machine running Windows95 and (now) Slackware
2.0.35.

Note: The card works fine in Windows, and all hardware diagnostics pass in
the DOS utilities, so the hardware should be ok.

I used the 3COM supplied driver disk utility (3c5x9cfg.exe) in DOS to
disable pnp detection on the card, and to set the IRQ to 10, and the IO to
0x300.  (I have also tried IRQ 5 and io 0x320).

I have recompiled the 2.0.35 kernel to include loadable module support,
tcp/ip networking support, 3COM Cards (both statically), and the 3c509.o
driver as a module (quite a few times actually).  The process I am using is
as follows:

'cd /usr/src/linux' ('linux' being a symbolic link to /linux-2.0.35)
'make menuconfig' (choose the options I want)
'make dep; make clean; make zlilo'
'make modules; make modules_install'
reboot

Note: occasionally I'll mix it up by replacing 'make zlilo' with 'make
zImage' followed by copying  usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage to /vmlinuz
(the boot file indicated in lilo.conf) and running lilo to reset.  Then
rebooting.  (I'm still new to the linux game and not entirely sure if one
way is better than the other, though the zlilo method certainly seems less
bothersome).

I don't think any of the network information matters at this point, but the
network addresses are set in /etc/networks, /etc/hosts, and
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 (IP = 195.1.1.1, Mask = 255.255.255.0, Network =
195.1.1.0, Broadcast = 195.1.1.255, no gateway at this point).  The HOSTNAME
and other information is where it should be (compliments of netconfig).

I have included 'alias eth0 3c509' and 'options 3c509 irq=10' the
conf.modules, and have the 3c509 card uncommented in the rc.modules file.
Note: I have also tried rebooting without these lines, and after adding
'io=0x300' (which generates a different error), and with only the alias
line.  Same result each time.

I have the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 card line reading:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} network ${NETWORK}
I have tried adding 'broadcast ${BROADCAST}' as well, with no change in the
situation.

The startup message indicates the "device or resource is busy", followed by
the SIO gibberish, and "eth0 not recognized" (which makes sense given the
card did not work right).

'modprobe eth0' generates the same error.  It indicates it's pulling the
3c509.o information, but that the "device or resource is busy".

'dmesg |more' stops logging before the card errors, and as such is pretty
useless.

'cat /proc/ioports' shows the io range needed as wide open (no conflicts).

'cat /proc/interrupts' shows IRQ 10 is not being used by any other device.

What am I missing here?

First get PPP working without demand.  Then use the options shown below
along with the ones you already have.

pppd 192.168.0.1:192.168.0.2 ipcp-accept-local ipcp-accept-remote demand ...

Oh, and with a 2.2.x series kernel you likely need to setup for dynamic

With GTE it was a bit different for us.  We talked to the 
guys before they came out, and configured our machine
accordingly.  For the $90 setup fee, they installed a 
3Com Vortex into our machine, and set it up in Windows.
We had to have Windows for them to configure it.  :-(
So we wiped the 100MB /tmp partition, installed a minimal
Win95 (the first release, not even OSR2), let the guy
do his install, jotted down all the information, rebooted...

 Nothing special is needed. All you need is call whoever is providing
 your xDSL/ISP
 connection, place your order.
 
 You need an ethernet card. Or two and a hub(if you want to share the DSL
 with other computers. You can skip the hub by using a cross over cable
 if you only have one box to share.) Get the ethernet card installed and
 detected properly (many ISP/DSL suppliers do not support Linux, just
 don't tell them.)
 
 When they come and install your DSL line, they should give you a DSL
 modem, (or they might told you to buy one when you place the order.)
 After the tech service guy finished the installation. You'll be given
 your connection info (IP, DNS, gateway, netmask) Then, you just log in
 as root,put those numbers into your network config file, save it. logout
 from root, Connect the RJ45 cable to your ethernet card. (the first one,
 the one ethe0, if you have more than one card.)
 
 That's it.
 
 If you want to share with other boxes, enable
 ipforewarding/ipmasquerading/ipchaining/whatever your distro calls it,
 put in 192.168.0.0 as the IP for the second card (ethe1) in the box
 that's connecting to the internet, and use the IP 192.168.0.1 for the
 ethernetcard for the second box...
 and so on, and so on if you want to add more boxes later.

This doesn't follow and so seems flawed.  Ok, for whatever reason, you
don't like or understand or need (whichever applies) C++.  However,
with your reasoning, doing the typedef would not be compelling either.
So why wouldn't you just use struct and not typedef?  For that matter,
why not just code in binary?

The original poster said that, among other things, "structs as type
namesmake C++ better than C".  I interpreted his statement as
meaning that, e.g.,

Vector *x;

is better than

struct Vector *x;

I merely pointed out that he can use a `typedef' to achieve this.

Thanks for trying to clarify, but I still find this flawed.
I mean, why would he do that?

Also, I would interpret his statement as:

Vector *x;

is not only better than

struct Vector *x;

but also better than a situation such as:

typedef struct Vector Vector;
Vector *x;

But this latter one is part of your point to the contrary,
which is odd -- as above, why would he do that? (besides C requiring it)

There _are_ compelling reasons to use typedef (and struct)

Okay, you appear to be right, the registry patches are making the
default TCP receive window as large as it can possibly be (i.e. 
allowing more data per TCP packet). 

Changing this under Linux is documented in:

I'd appreciate if any knowledgeable network types out there could set a 
very confused newbie straight on a few networking basics.

I'm thinking about setting up a lan for my family now that we have 2
PCs - machine 1 (Celeron 300A with 64MB RAM) and machine 2 (Pentium 75
with 16MB RAM).  What I want to do is have each in a separate room
(they'll be about 15m apart) and set one up as a proxy/firewall and
print server for the other while retaining the ability to have local
users login directly to either machine.  I would like to be able to
remotely login to the server to update software - I guess I would need
SSH for this.  However, I am migrating everyone here to Linux and
would like to ensure that regardless of the machine they login to they
are presented with exactly the same interface and file structure so
they could save a file in their home directory on machine 1 and find
it there next time they login to machine 2 and vice versa -- the
network should be transparent to the user.  As I understand it
installing Linux on both machines would just lead to each user having
2 accounts, one on each computer, and mounting the root partition via
NFS would just lead to the filesystems on each machine being different
without doing anything about account details.  Obviously, I'm missing
something here.  Can anyone tell where I can find documentation for
this sort of thing?

The users will almost exclusively be using X applications.  Also does
Thin Ethernet have enough bandwidth to cope with this?  Which machine
should the server be - should it be the faster one with more memory,
or the other?

Thanks for your time.

what if you give someone a laptop or some other wireless networking
capability?  then, the next time they hook up to the network, they might not
be at the same physical location, and the route from server to client might
be completely different.  your mac address forwarding table will give you
junk.  that is why those mac caching tables get refreshed like every 30
minutes or something.

as an aside, the issue you have raised is why some layer 2 switches come
with the capability to plug in a blade with routing abilities to turn it
into a layer-3 device.  i think cisco uses RSMs, route switch modules or
something like that.

Pim wrote in message 7l877v$dsh$[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

 snipped some technical jargon

This ability to cache Layer 3 address tables is the key differentiator
between router accelerators and Layer 2 switching products. Layer 2
switches
must send all inter-subnet traffic to a router for path resolution, whereas
router accelerators can intelligently forward traffic based on Layer 3
information if the address is already contained within its cached address
tables

But why ? Besides src/dest IP-addresses, the packets also contains
src/dest.
MAC-addresses so by using it's MAC address forwarding table the Layer-2
switch can do the same ?
Suppose several endstations as well as several other Layer-2 switches are
connected to a Layer-2 switch. Then the Layer-2 switch is able to "route"
inter-subnet traffic to the port to which one of the other Layer 2 switches
is connected to which the target endstation is connected ?

I have been pulling what's left of my hairs out on this one.
How do I make a Win98 machine that's networked into my Linux server (static
IP) accessible to the internet? I  want to it (win98 box) to be able to send
a video image out on port 5012 from the win98 box through the Linux server
to the internet.
I had it all set up before I was using the Linux server. My Win98 box had a
ISDN connection to the net and was using my static IP address. I was able to
open up a port (5012) and allow internet to see what's on it via a webpage.
When they clicked on one of my homepages, my webcam image was sent them, a
live image, not ftp'd in at intervals.
But since I've switched to using the Linux sever, I've lost the ability to
send out the live images on this port. I love the way Linux handles my
network using IP_Masq.
Do I need to get another static IP address for the Win98 box?
Or is there a way to do this with out one?

In this case a reboot should not affect the time limit!
Now, is there a program for the above considerations, or an

Without NFS/NIS enabled, accounting works fine (as it should) but with NFS/NIS enabled,
accounting does not work.  It might have something to do with the inability to monitor

Vikram,

IIWM, I'd put the firewall on the 75MHz, and the file server on the
Celeron.

Thin-net is 10Mbit; fast enough for 16 or so stations.

How to do your "user" thing:

1)  Make only one '/home' partition in the whole net.  (machine 1)  And
export it.

2)  DO NOT create a /home partition on the other machines.  If you
can't install without it, make it real small (less than 50m).

3)  When machine 2 boots, have it 'mount machine1:/home /home'  This
way, everybody sees '/home' on '/home', but there is only one copy of
the data.  (Mounting on top of an existing directory will mask the data
in the "real" directory; you can use this trick to make 'net is down
local user copies'.)

4)  Put local copies of the (shared) applications in /usr  (All
machines have a /usr, and a /root, etc).  Having local copies of
executables (and /tmp, /scratch) will cut way down on network traffic.

Note that root's home directory is /root; it's good to have root local
to every machine.

Make sure every system is mentioned in /etc/hosts, and you'll probably
want to set up ".rhosts" on machine 1.

Oh, and do yourself a BIG favor.  Do a net search for the "linux
documentation project".  Once you find a local mirror, bookmark it.

Gary.

 Luckily Standard C++ is out and at least for now binary compatible issues
 are known and can be addressed by compiler implementors as they upgrade.
 Of course, some compilers have done this more than others. :)

Why would binary compatibility between compiler releases be an issue

Maybe for modules, but you'd extern "C" those, anyway.

 I am in the planning stages of setting up such a network--but
have not finished.  Since there weren't other replies yet, I thought
I'd pitch in.  More than one player over the internet degrading game
performance will depend on where the bottleneck is.  A 486 can
saturate a T1 line, so using an old machine for a router should not be
a problem unless it's a 386.  The only other place likely to be a
bottleneck is the line out of the house (modem,cablemodem, etc.).
Depending on the game and link speed, this could be a slowdown.  The
other link that might cause problems is the linke to the router.
Assuming you are using a 10 mbit/s ethernet over a hub, two machines
can adequately feed your router and a modem--assuming its something
like a 56K getting a large fraction of that through to your ISP.  Many
machines could clog the hub, of course.  This is all from theoretical
timing  and throughput, not from test.

Also, what should I be looking for in hardware.  I mainly plan on using

 You can buy a little switch box that let's you connect both
machines to one monitor.  However, lower quality switch boxes (aka
cheaper switchboxes) may have reflections that show up as ghosts on
the monitor.  Alternatively, you can just plug and unplug the monitor.
If you are doing this a lot, go to a switchbox (the pin connector used
on the monitor is not built for continual repluggings and you may
eventually bend or damage a pin).  I have 4 old 486s switched to one
set of monitor/keyboard/mouse and that works fine.

 At least the syntax indicates whether or not foo could be altered.
 The fact remains that one cannot look at
 
some_function (x)
 
 in C++ and be sure that x was not modified, whereas in C you know that
 the local variable x will not be affected.  And yes, like many people,
 I use an editor that supports tags.  When reading C++ code, I do have
 to look up every such function to see whether or not something like x
 could be modified by the function.  With C, knowing instantly that x
 could not be modified is a big help to understanding code fragments.

 This is FUD. If your compiler really acts like that, get a new compiler.

I think you misundstood his point.

If I'm using a C library, my program might have to say:

some_function( x );

so, when debugging, I know right there that I can't assume x won't be
altered. The same thing in C++ would be:

some_function( x );

but I don't know whether I'm passing by value or by reference or const
by reference. I have to go and find the header, then look through it to
find the prototype for that function. It would be useful if there were a
syntax difference.

It's only a development time problem of course, not a serious design
flaw.

Subject: 2.2.10 problems with 2nd NETjet card
Date: Sat, 26 Jun 1999 23:35:44 +1000

I was using a 2.0.35 kernel with an append line in
lilo.conf to detect a second NETjet hisax based card;

append="hisax=20,2,0,0,0,20,2,0,0,0"

however since upgrading to a 2.2.10 kernel the system
gets this far on bootup;

Lilo
Loading Linux ...

and then hangs so I presume something is different
with how 2.2.* kernels load off HDD boot blocks so
I rolled another kernel using modules intead. Now I
have this line in the ISDN startup script (all else
remains the same except changing the "status" line
to "dialmode");

/sbin/modprobe -a hisax type=20,20 protocol=2,2 id="HiSax"

and "cat /proc/pci" does indeed show two cards;

Bus  0, device  11, function  0:
 Network controller: TigerJet Tiger300 ISDN (rev 0).
   Medium devsel.  IRQ 5.  Master Capable.  Latency=8.
   I/O at 0x7c00 [0x7c01].
   Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xef001000 [0xef001000].

   I/O at 0x6000 [0x6001].
   Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xef002000 [0xef002000].

But now when dialing out the 3rd channel on the 2nd
card seems to have trouble extablishing and maintaining
a connection, the main problem seems to be here;

: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
: Connection terminated.
: taking down PHASE_DEAD link 2, linkunit: 2
: LCP is down
: closing fd 9 from unit 2
: link 2 closed , linkunit: 2

Remove the machine - which' arp-requests you won't answer - from the
local net and put it behind a router. It's a network design flaw if you

I did not mean releases of the compiler, or releases of the standard

I meant releases of other libraries.  Any time you change the layout 
of a struct, or (e.g.) add a new virtual function in a base class, 
you risk breaking code that depends on the library.  The same is true
with C libraries, but C lacks some of the language features that create
a dependency, and people already know about those which do.

It is possible to build C++ libraries that are safe for old program 
binaries to link to, but it's harder.  For example, you have to be 
very careful about what inline functions and virtual functions you
expose in the public interface, and be sure not to change anything
between releases that those interfaces depend on.

This is a maturity issue.  As people become aware of the problems,
they arrive at the same solution.

given to the subnets of 192.168/16.  It has to stem from *something*,

 Currently, there are a number of terminals (IBM 3151) but they are

 give me the ability to put spooled printers anywhere there is a

You need to add you sco machine name to the linux box's /etc/hosts.equiv and
also to .rhosts file in the home directory of user that is trying to use
rcmd.

Example:

1) I'm logged in as user1 on sco box.
2) I have user1 configured on linux box.
3) /etc/hosts.equiv on linux box has sco box's name.
4) /home/user1/.rhosts file on linux machine contains sco box's name as
well.

Now I can run rcmd from sco to linux box.

On sco box -- man rcmd to find out more!

 do...

How is that?  See an example of closures in Dylan at the end...


 anyway, Dylan looks like a very potent language. however, until
 a safe compiler base is available (which means gcc basically), i am
 unlikely to switch.

The Dylan I'm using (and helping to improve) -- Gwydion Dylan, aka "d2c"
-- produces C code which is then compiled using gcc.  That has several
benefits: portability, known quality of code generation, ability to
inspect intermediate C code to verify/understand it (and it's actually
pretty readable -- d2c pretty-prints it and bases the C names on the
original Dylan variables, so it's a bit easier to understand than the
output of Stroustrup's "cfront" was), and ability to leave certain easy
optomisations (such as inlining) to gcc.

It's possible to call back and forth between Dylan and C code, so existing
OS and other libraries can be used seamlessly from Dylan programs.  At the
moment you have to hand-code the interface routines in Dylan (as I've done
below), but we're working on automatically producing the interface
routines from C header files and this works for simple cases (not yet
callback functions) now.


 and C++ seems to be there to stay (as unfortunate
 as it may be for better languages). 

C++ is certainly going to be around, and the best language for some
purposes, for many many years to come.  It's better than what came before
it.  I was an early-adopter of C++ (in 1989), back when it was arguably in
a more rudimentary state than Dylan is today.  Much as I saw the potential
of C++ at the time, it was far from a certainty that it would take over
from C as it has.

Stroustrup did a number of things right.  I think the most important of
those were link-compatability with C, the philosophy that you don't pay
for advanced features if you don't use them, and compiling to C in the
reference implementation to ensure easy and widespread portability.  With
d2c we have the same properties, plus the compiler being "free software"
in the FSF sense.  OTOH, Harlequin's Dylan for Windows is free for
personal use, but not "free".

I personally think that d2c is therefore vital to the penetration and
acceptance of Dylan, and Harlequin seem to agree because they are
cooperating with the Gwydion Dylan project and are giving assistance such
as open-sourcing some libraries written by them.

C++ also maintained source code compatability with C, but Java has shown
that the market will accept deviation from this.  Dylan's syntax is not as
close to C's as is Java's syntax, but it's not so far away as to be
shocking to anyone who has programmed in the C/Pascal/Algol family. 
Unlike, for example, SmallTalk, Lisp or FORTH, each of which can send C
programmers running screaming.

I tend to think that in terms of adoption Dylan today is about at the
stage that C+

That way you can run a perl script or similar (I have some if you wish) that

Subject: LDAP User Authenication?
Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 11:06:16 -0400


Hello,

I'd like to try playing around with LDAP for user authentication on a spare
Linux box; however, information on this seems to be hard to find.  I see
people everywhere saying how great it is, but I can't seem to find any info
other than how to setup LDAP for use as anything other than a phone book.

I have checked out http://www.padl.com and have started to familiarize
myself with PAM, so that helps.  I understand the basic authentication
procedure.  What I am looking for is a good guide to setting up a schema.
I'll just be testing with a dozen acounts or so, but I'd like to try making
a tree with different departments and such just for kicks.  Can someone
point me to a good reference as to what all the standard "tags" (I'm sure
that's probably the wrong word) are for doing such a thing.

Also, if anyone has got authentication running in a semi-production
environment, what are some things to be aware of?  Will I still need to have
usernames in a flatfile somewhere?  I'll be running RH6.0 (which of course
has glibc 2.1)

And what of security?  I've heard that a lot of clear text stuff goes on in
LDAP and that it is insecure as an authentication mechanism.  Is SSL support
included in OpenLDAP?  Has anyone tried making the clients connect to the
server though ssh port forwarding, and if so, is that secure?

Thanks,

Kevin Currie

Subject: broadcast packets not dispatched
Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 14:28:25 GMT

Hello,
I'm facing a strange problem and I have no idea
wether it is due to my Slackware Linux and its
configuration or to a programming mistake of mine.

My programme is a port from AIX 4 on which it
works alright. It sends broadcast packets to a
certain address and port on a network. I've also
written another programme that listens to a
certain socket for broadcast messages. It also
works alright on AIX.

Now the problem is that both compile on Linux
(kernel 2.2.9) but they only can communicate from
one console to another on the same machine. Is
this a TTL that is set to 0 somewhere ? Let me
precise that tcpdump receives all broadcast
packets from the network. This means that my
network card is ok. Nevertheless, I cannot get
broacast packets to leave my machine and I cannot
intercept incoming broacast packets either. Is
there any major difference in the implementation
of sockets between AIX and Linux ?

Thanks

 Hello,
 I am trying to understand why does the internet address bind to the

How else will you identify a device on the network? Ultimately, a packet
is sent to a destination by mapping the IP address to the interface 
address, in the last lap of its journey.  Which other protocols are you
referring to.

 For eg., in a machine with dual ethernets , it is imperative that they
 have different ip addresses. Thus , you cannot have load sharing or
 failover capabilities between the connected machines in spite of the
 having more than one physical network.
Sorry - but do you mean more than one interface card for a device??
Failover capabilities are provided by a product called MC-Service Guard.
And I'm sure there are many more.

Make sure your linux box has a route for the broadcasts.  If you are
using an absolute IP broacast of 255.255.255.255, you will need to do
a route add -host 255.255.255.255 dev eth0 and try it then.  Sometimes
route doesn't like to see 255.255.255.255, so you need to alias a name
to the string 255.255.255.255, all of which is documented in a ISC's
DHCPd docs (DHCPd listens to 255.255.255.255 for DHCP reqs).

Both are possible componments of a firewall. If you do not know what

You may be better off looking at a kernel level solution like ipchains or

Have a look at these links

Again, to use these you need to understand what you are doing and what

 I presume it's a routing problem. I'm not sure, because I don't have

 rewrites the packets' source addresses to what you specify in the "-V"
 or "-W" option, i.e. 192.168.1.x in your case (that's eth0:0's
 address, you didn't supply ifconfig output, so I don't know what the
 masquerading gateway's addresses are). If you want the 192.168.1.0/24
 hosts to masquerade as 204.210.117.x (eth0 address), try using "-W

resolved. ie: its a made up hostname or youre not connected to the net.

To set up ppp so you dont have to be in X to connect try using PPP-UP located
at http://www.thecomputergallery.com/redhat/ppp.shtml

It comes with an easy to follow guide and you should have it up and running in
no time flat.

Best of luck.

Subject: Connection accept speed limit?
Date: 25 Jun 1999 15:58:49 -0500

I have a web server set up to handle static images and backgrounds
only and it gets about 1.5 million hits a day most of which happen
in about a 3 hour window. Since there is no cgi the machine sits
at a load of .25 or less most of the time with no obvious problems.
However, at fairly random intervals it looks like accepting
connections becomes extremely slow.  'Netstat -an' shows a lot
of connections in SYN_RECV state compared to ESTABLISHED. 
Killing the server and restarting seems to fix the problem for
a while.  I've used squid in reverse proxy mode and apache
serving local copies with the same problem, so I don't think
it is at the application level.  I've used several kernels from
2.2.3 to 2.2.10 and eventually the same thing happened with
all of them.  Could this be related to the code that is supposed
to prevent SYN attacks?  How can I tell if I really do have
a SYN attack going on and fix things if I don't?

The machine is connected to a LAN and the network settings are configured
properly.  I am able to connect to the machine from any other machine via
the telnet, ftp, mail, news, daytime, etc., just not http.  I can't access
the http port from the machine itself, from any of the other machines in the
local network, or from any machines outside the local network.  I have done
quite a bit of reading on the topic, and I have configured http access on
other machines before.  However, on the other machines, I was always doing a
full install of linux.  My question was what exactly is the minimum I need
to install to get a working web server, and I know it's not just the base
stuff and apache.  There's something missing that I haven't been able to
figure out.

 Apache you cannot access.   Need lots of info to be able to help you

  Try using 576 as your ppp mtu size. 1500 is used on hardwired ethernet
network connection because TCP/IP works best with a bigger MTU over fast
connections like this. However, ppp works differently than ethernet and
obviously isn't as fast. This is a serious over simplification, but if
you want more info, there are good sites out there that can describe the
problems, solutions, and whys much better. If you leave the MTU on the
windows boxes at 1500 (assuming an ethernet network) and then set the
Linux mtu, then the kernel will take care of the math and everything
should work fine.

I made sure the service packs were installed (with RRAS you have no

It could be either or neither. Any application (including screen

Hi-
I am having severe problems with samba and getting it to work
correctly.
I am in a large network environment with several subnets all the way out
to class A.  I have two machines in my office one is on one subnet
beginning with 10 and the other is on another subnet begining with 146.
We are forced to use dhcp.
oh the 146 box is win 95 and the other is linux (red hat 6, 2.2.10)
so when I do:
smbclient -L tk421 (which is the linux box) I get :
Added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0

sometimes I get a list of the other machines in the net but sometimes I

now I can see my windows machine (tk422) and my friend's down the hall
but if I do:
[erict@tk421 /etc]$ nmblookup -B tk421 __SAMBA__
Sending queries to 0.0.0.0
10.70.98.5 __SAMBA__00
[erict@tk421 /etc]$ nmblookup -B tk422 '*'
Sending queries to 0.0.0.0
10.70.98.5 *00

they both give the IP of the linux machine even though tk422 is the
windows machine on a totally different subnet...
I think my hosts file is messed up. but I can't really use it anyway
since we use dhcp...
then my friends machine:

[erict@tk421 /etc]$ nmblookup -B eduen '*'
Sending queries to 10.70.96.196
name_query failed to find name *

I am tired and confused, and it is friday.  can anyone point me to a
setup using dhcp and two subnets in a network environment that I don't
control.  ie. I don't want to be domain master...

nmblookup -d 2 '*'
gives me only a response from my own machine but If I set the netmask to
0.0.0.0 then I get a whole bunch but still only in my 10.x.x.x subnet
(is that even a subnet? I guess it's a full blown net)

I have exhausted all

Gordon,

thank you for replying. I'm afraid mounting the CD-ROM to others boxes is
not an option. But here are a few details I left out in my previous message:

Exports file seems to be set up correctly and so does daemon mountd. Deamon
nfsd seems to have some problems though. I seemed to have read somewhere
that when executing rpcinfo -p I should see

10 2 tcp 111 portmapper
10 2 udp 111 portmapper
15 1 tcp 744 mountd
15 2 udp 744 mountd
15 1 tcp 747 nfsd
15 2 udp 747 nfsd

But when I do, I seem to be missing

15 2 udp 747 nfsd

Syslog looks fine except for:

mountd[63]: exports file has anon entries, but
host
mountd[63]: has non-private IP address

Hello everyone.  I am new to the Linux world and will need a lot of help in
the near future...  if it wasn't for the course that I have taken last week,
I would still be blinded by Microsoft's crappy Windows OS.  Let's put it
this way, since I learned what Linux can do, I am more that excited!  If I
can successfully implement Linux at home, I will seriously consider trashing
Windows at home for good and will persuade others to join the Linux world.

Anyway, enough BS.  My real question is that I have downloaded Linux
(Redhat) 6.0 from ftp.cdrom.com yesterday and would like to make a bootable
CD-ROM distribution of it.  I used Windows NT workstation and Adaptec EZ CD
Creator to burn a CD.  The result, failure!  I think the files downloaded
were good but I was stupid enough to burn the CD using Juliet format instead
is ISO 9660.  However, will ISO 9660 read / register the long filenames in
Linux?  Is it wrong to use Windows NT and EZ CD Creator to burn the CD?

Any suggestion is welcome and thank you in advance.

To do this "properly" you need to set up a "zone of authority" file for
the root domain "." and in it place a link record for the domain name
you will use. Your DNS server will then appear as a root nameserver.

For most applications, this is unnecessary - just set up forward and
reverse files and forget about the root domain. The only problem is that
your server will not issue denials for addresses you can't get to (like
"ftp.cdrom.com")

N.B. - ONLY do this if you are totally isolated from the Internet. If
you have a firewall or masqueraded connection, sort out DNS via the
firewall.

Check out the Linux DNS HowTO, and search "Ask Mr DNS" at www.acmebw.com

Here's an example root zone file - hope I haven't made a typo!

My setup:  Windows 98 workstation, running Netware clients, logged into a
couple of Netware 3.12 servers.  RH 5.2 Linux server - running Samba.

I have drive U: on the Windows 98 workstation mapped to my home directory on

box using VI editor, it will execute happily.  If, however, I use a text
editor on the Windows 98 workstation to create a script, called "test2" say,
it will not execute - the error "bash: ./test2: text file busy" appears.

I have changed the file permissions to 700 for both files, the owner and
group for the files are the same and "diff test1 test2" brings up no
differences.

The error message suggests to me that the file from the Windows text editor
is locked - this is not the case, since the file is not open in the editor.

Is this a Samba configuration problem?

Thanks for any help,

application uses the TLI system calls. Somehow the system calls don't seem
to work in Linux. 


TLI or XTI (almost the same) is what ATT tried to make people use instead
of the socket interface from California.  That wa the "future", and everyone
was expected to migrate their network programs to use TLI and/or XTI.  That
was when ATT brought out System V release 3 eons ago.  That release lacked
the network transport, thoug, so no network worked.


I link with the libnsl.so library during the compilation. However, it is
unable to recogonize the TLI calls like tl_open, tl_close ec.


Linux doesn't have it.  Don't know if it ever will.


Can someone explain me how exactly can TLI programming be done on Linux ?


You need to rewrite the communications part to use sockets instead.

This probably isn't something anyone can work out, since I don't know enough
about Linux (or indeed Windows) to be able to give out all of the relevant
information. It will hopefully be something that someone knows the answer to
on the spot from previous experience. If there is any extra info required,
please tell me and I'll try to get hold of it.

Firstly, my setup is a Linux box running SuSE 6.1 using IP masquerading to
act as a net gateway to my Windows 98 machine through ethernet. I don't
think there's any other relevant information here I can provide, it all
works fine.

-- Problem starts :) --

When I get disconnected from my ISP and reconnect straight away, I find that
I cannot connect to any game servers for about 5-10 minutes. I'm not exactly
sure how long it takes to get back on, it's hard to time it because I have
to re-attempt a connection every so often, and if it works I don't know when
it would have started to work. If I disconnect manually, this problem
doesn't happen.

I can ping the servers, I can use Gamespy to get updates from them, and I
can see all the people in the game, but for some reason when I try to join,
with, say, Half-Life or Quake 2 (the only two games I tried, they use
different ports so I don't think that's the problem), it simply tries and
fails to connect.

I have disconnected manually from here and reconnected, and the problem
stays (in fact I think the timer gets reset). Before you say it's anything
to do with the ISP, there's a few more things I should say. Firstly, it
never happened when I connected direct with the Windows box. Secondly, if I
reset the Linux box and then reconnect, it's instantly fine and working.
Thus, I'm pretty sure

If you have a new enough version of the tulip.c in the kernel, you just
copy it to the right directory and name it tulip_cb.c.

If you don't have a new enough version, go to the url in the tulip.c you
have and download the beta/devel version.

What is the best way to link to workgroups?.Our configuration is the
following:
We have two buildings. They are sepparated by aproximately 5 km and
we have a rented point to point line ending with a "thing" called UTR
with a V35 interface (i don't know too much about it). On each side
there is a 3com SuperStack II 3300 Switch.
My idea is not to have to use two routers. Maybe with a transceiver from
V35 to ethernet, the system woud go.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Blaim redhat for not including this very important package in a standard

to be a FAQ, but it shouldn't have been a problem in the first place.
just add the package to the comps file before mastering the next CD,
that is, if you are Redhat.

exactly the same problem as David and I've been scouring the net for info

This is because you compiled your kernel with the Win95 bug workaround (that
option right after the question about enabling smbfs).  You cannot use this
with Windows NT or it will give corrupt dates (as you noticed).  Event if
you use smbmount with Win95 you should disable the Win95 bug workaround.
The newest smbmount allows you to apply the workaround on a mount-point by
moint-point basis.

This should tell you all. If you run by anyone who knows how to have get
the dial-in via external call, tell me!
[SNIP]

In a previous post, someone said they wanted to be able to call in on a
voice line, enter a numeric password (touch-tone), and hang up.  The server
would then dial back if the correct password had been entered.

To do this you'll need a modem with a DTMF decoder.  Unless I'm mistaken
(and I could be) a voice modem will do this.  You also need some kind of
software that sits on the modem waiting for a call (not mgetty unless I'm
mistaken again).  This hypothetical software would answer the phone after so
many rings and wait for the numeric password somehow.  After verifying the
password, it would have to release the modem and exec diald, pppd, or
something to allow/start a ppp connection.

You should search  for topics mentioning voice modem applications for Linux.
You may get some nibbles that way.  And if you are successful, I would be
mildly curious to know what worked.

Good Luck and Long Live the Penguin!

 I am running Linux as an NFS server and Solaris x86 as an
 NFS client.  No matter what I do, the uid's and gid's don't
 seem to map correctly, meaning that if I create a file on
 the client, it maps as something like nobody4 (65534).  I
 tried the map_static entry in the exports file to no avail.
 
 Any idea what I am doing wrong?  I simply want uid's and gid's
 to map equivalently across the systems.
 

We had a situation like that a while back.  The simple
solution was to replicate the passwd files for the two machines
so they both use the same UID's  (it did require us to write
a script to get them in sync) -- then we didn't have any problems.
The other gotcha was Solaris can assign big number USERids,
which are intolerable to 5.2 -- we had to go in an reassign a bunch
of those.

But with the same password/shadow files it should work just
fine.  You have to be a bit careful with some of the systems IDs,
since they map differently in Linux/Solaris -- but it seems to work
fine.

I have got X-ISP to dial sucessfuly to my ISP (Free-Online), A few seconds
later a X-ISP terminal box pops up with the text

Date: Thu, 24 Jun 1999 21:48:57 +0200

Hello everybody,

I've just got a new Compaq Presario computer  with PCI network card,
which is NE2000 compatible (RealTek 8029 RTL). Computer came with
preinstalled Windows 98.
Network card works wel under Win98 and uses (reported by Windows)
io=0x1000 irq=11.
I've installed RedHat 6.0 on this machine, and everything went perfect,
except that network interface doesn't work. ne2k-pci module loads with
the warnig message: "PCI BIOS assigned IRQ=0 to the device RealTek 8029
RTL, use PCI BIOS setup to assign appropriate IRQ level", and the kernel
reports "SCCIADDRFLAG: Resource currently unavailable
Network unreacheble".
ifconfig etho gives reasonable output.

First of all, I don't know how to launch BIOS setup program on COMPAQ,
tryed all keys combinations. Does anybody know how to do it?
Is there another solution to the problem? (card replacement doesn't
count)

Thanks in advance,

Nick

You know that the new 2.2.x kernel series needs upgraded net-tools don't
you?  If not then you need to read the Documentation/Changes file in the
kernel source tree.  The latest stable kernel is 2.2.10 and there may be

For web caching proxying, download squid  install it.

For proxying, such as ipmasqurading, you can use ipfwadm or ipchains
(you'll probably have to use ipfwadm, since you run redhat 5 -- unless you
patch your kernel for ipchains).

Does anyone have any experience of using the Ricochet Wireless Modem
with Redhat 6.0 and PPP?

I have a strange problem, in that PPP does seem to start-up correctly
(the modem chirps to say it has connected), I can then PING various
servers and get a reasonable response time (300-500mS), but when I try
to do either a FTP of a use a browser, I get no response from the server
I try to connect.

Does this sound like a PPP problem, or is there something else further
that I need to address?

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

You can check your domain setting in Internic database, just go to
http://www.networksolutions.com. Then you can go to 'Make changes' section
and try to enter your domain name there and see if it comes up. If it does,
then internic database is ok, but you still need DNS settings.

As far as DNS, why don't you set your own dns server? You can setup primary
on your Linux box and use ISP as a secondary (also you can use
http://soa.granitecanyon.com for secondary).

I've tried your IP address and it's not comming with anything in browser and
in nslookup. Do you have apache setup?

Good luck!

 The domain is not seen by any browser.
 I e-mailed many times both to my provider (where my DNS and my IP are)
 and to the nic office, and they tell me that all is ok and I need
 only to wait the "domain propagation".
 Does it really take so long?

 But I worry also for another reason: my provider gave me an IP address
 for my virtual domain, but it is not recognized if I browse:
 http://216.121.32.8(that is my IP)

If you are running on a dual processor server, you might have the apic mode set
incorectly.  On Compaq servers, you type ctlA during the start of the config
program for advanced mode and set the apic mode to full table mapped mode.  I
believe this is the mode you need.  You are probably set to full table mode.
That's the only way I know of to get the high IRQs.

 and I got the same message: "invalid parameter parm_irq" etc...
 
 What's strange is that after I load the module..with that strange IRQ...I
 have conectivity for about 2-3 min...and then nothing...it's really weird.
 I've changed 3 cards, I've changed the slot on the mainboard,I've enable

 So how can I force to use that IRQ(5)? Or am I doing something wrong here?

I mount the share like this:

A friend of mine has got similar problems. He always gets error messages

Of course you need to recompile.  But it isn't that hard.  And when
installing software, it's pretty rare that you need to reboot afterwards,
or have to shutdown every other process during the install.

 In general avoid any PCI modem (though for you that may not be an

 other manufacturers should as well. 
 
 Just avoid anything that says "optimized for Windows", or "host

`Anything like that' refers to HCF (host-controlled family)

Acronyms like DSP, USB, RPI, and PCI are most likely your enemies

If you have X running, there is a tool for adding packages among those
icons as root (I think the actual program is called glint).  Otherwise see
'man rpm'.

If you want to access your Linux box by name, put a name for it in
\windows\hosts of the Win boxes an names for the Win IP's in /etc/hosts
(unless you are running properly configured DNS).  This will avoid delays
caused by reverse lookup (Linux is cautious and attempts to do a reverse
lookup of anyone connecting to it).

Linux-Networking Digest #659

1999-06-24 Thread Anonymous
twork segment, so I can connect to machines on the Thin CoAx fine - i.e.
the server and maybe a laptop when it connects. The Linux box remembers the
routes fine.

However, after booting the linux box I want to telnet in and use something
like MI/X to set up the box from the comfort of my own desk, not the machine
cupboard where the phone line is!
If I ping the linux box, then it responds. But it can't ping across the
server unless I manually enter the route (route add -net 192.168.1.0 subnet
255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.2.1).
I have (on a number of occasions) given the LInux box this information. I've
added it using the RedHat network tool. I've edited 'static-routes' in the
boot information. But if I log out from root, or reboot the machine, it
gives network unreachable when I try to ping 192.168.1.26 until I add the
route manually

So what the heck am I doing wrong ?? Why does the Linux box forget about the
route to the STP network?

If you know, please help.

Cheers,

what does  your smb.conf look like.
Also you might want to set up a user group under linux and add the ppl you
want to that group. or you could do the following . (not that I recamend
it)

if in your smb.conf file under your [homes] you can have the following
[homes]
comment = Home Directory
browseable = yes
path = /home
public = no
writable = yes
creat mode 750

this sets up thes users home directory and the permissions they have.
You have to use smbpasswd to create the users samba passwd ... I have not
found/read any way to get around this.

If you want the users to share a common directory in each user account you
can create a symbolic link (ln -s source name)  to the directory you what
ppl to have access to.

in windows 9x right click on network neiborhood and go to map.  once there
choose a drive letter and the location will be something like this ...
\\SERVERNAME\USERLOGINNAME.  if you don't want to type the passwd every time
you reboot your computer check the box that says save passwd.

provided your samba is set up right you should have a connection and should
be able to share a common directory this way.

again setting up a group is somewhat less hassle on the admin side.

 Hello.

 I've installed RH5.2 and wanted to try a simple home network between
 it and my Win98 machine.  Everything installed fine except that for
 some reason, when I would go into X, run linuxconf, and go into the
 networking section, I would have to manually activate my eth0
 connection even though it was set to activate at boot time.  Then
 after I close the networking menu and reopen it, it would be
 deactivated again.  Whenever I would call linuxconf through the xterm
 window without a trailing "" behind it, and then choose to activate
 eth0, it gave me the message saying "eth0 delayed" - and then later
 "no such device eth0" (or something to the effect of these msgs)..

 So I had the idea to try and do a reinstall of RH through a Win98
 shared drive.  I created the supplemental disk it said I required and
 when prompted to choose a networking card, I chose the NE2000
 compatible ISA card.  I let it autoprobe it only to see that it could
 find no such device.  I read the card's manual and tried to specify
 the i/o address and irq info of the card to RH but it still could not
 find the card.

 The card I am using is a Kingston Technologies

If your installation tool supports it (e.g. debian's does), you can

Might it be that NFS on the Linux system uses UDP only, and that
your client is on a 100 Mbps connection, while the server is on
a 10 Mbps connection?  (Or perhaps on a saturated 100 Mbps connection)

I would run snoop/tcpdump on both machines to make sure that all
packets from one machine gets to the other.  It might be that the
switch is tossing away packets when it gets overwhelmed.

You might also try adjusting your write/read block size down to
smaller chunks -- say 1024 bytes.

 There are two ways to do this.  One is that you could install DAVE from
 Thursby Systems (www.thursby.com) on the Mac.  This allows the Mac to
 act as a "Client for Microsoft Networks" and will see your samba
 broadcasts, etc.  DAVE, of course, is not free.
 
 The other option would be to set up netatalk on your Linux machine,
 which essentially lets it act like an AppleShare (both Appletalk and
 IP) server.  This works quite well and is free.
 
Thanks for the info. Sounds like not that difficult to imply too. :)

Subject: 2 modems routing problem
Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 23:22:25 GMT

I have 2 modems on my linux server. One stays on a leased line
and has a ppp connection to our internet provider.
The second stays for incoming calls with mgetty +ppp +pap.
On the same box I have a network card which is used for masquerading our
LAN (C class - 192.168.x.x). I also configured a squid cache server
in order to reduce traffic with the ISP.
I gave to the second modem (for incoming calls) an address from our
LAN so that it looks like a member of the LAN and I put the local IP
identical with the network card IP (the gateway for the LAN).
The problem is that after I enter with an incoming call into the
network with a remote windows machine (pap) I cannot browse the inter
the internet and I can't even ping another machine (from the internet)
Can anybody tell me how should I configure the routing table in order to
behave access to the internet. (I didn't forget to put in the options file
the proxyarp option). If I enter directly with mgetty and login speed is ok.

Hey again,

I replied to this yesterday saying how I had the same problem and was at
home last night thinking about it and remembered how when upgrading my
kernel it changed some of the references in /proc etc... so some other
packages wouldn't work properly since the paths were different, I upgraded
them also and they now work again.. so I started thinking that ipautofw
might be for 2.0.3x and this could be why it doesn't work with 2.2.xx

So this morning I came in and looked at the ipchains man page.
I threw together this command on my linux box:

ipchains -A input -j REDIRECT -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 7000:7050 -d
10.10.10.201 7000:7050

so my ipchains rules look like:

Chain input (policy ACCEPT):
target prot opt sourcedestination   ports
REDIRECT   tcp  --  anywhere  10.10.10.201
7000:7050 -   7000:7050 =  any

I then set my icq up as you would when using ipautofw and did a test proxy
connection... it returned "success", I haven't had a chance to actually
test this with someone on icq but it does seem to be doing what I want it
to.

Drew.

Hi!

Sorry I missed some information before:

I use RedHat Linux 6.0 and rtl8139 driver to run a network card with
Realtek 8139 chip.

On startup, several commands involving routing gives this error:

SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable

However, after the startup process over and I login as root, I can
manually do all the routing command without error.

Any idea why?

Thanks.

You can override the RO specification that is in your /etc/lilo.conf on

Sure you can do that, but that would make the problem worse.


This will get you going with some warnings about e2fsck'ing a RW drive,
but you can then edit your /etc/rc.d/rc.S back to its original state and
be fine.


The warning from fsck is for a good reason.  You shouldn't fsck a mounted
file system, but for the root file system you can as a compromise leave
it read only, so you won't check a file system that is being modified
by using it at the same time.

The warning you get is that the filesystem check *can't* proceed on a RW
mounted partition.  It *won't* run e2fsck!


The original question was as far as I understood: why you couldn't leave
the root file system in read only mode like you can (supposed to be able
to) with a separate /usr file system.

As I understood it, this was the goal; however, in an attempt to do this
the user was no longer allowed to login at all and needed to fix it.  My
suggestions should allow the user to login and fix the improperly
configured /etc/rc.d/rc.S file.

Another alternative is to boot without init.  You can boot directly to a
shell and fix things from there:

'lilo: boot: linux init=/bin/bash rw'

or:

'lilo: boot: linux init=/bin/bash ro'

then once at the prompt:

'mount -o remount,rw /'

Some things to read are the PPP-HOWTO, the NET-3_HOWTO. Also, if you can

Well, I've found something interesting.

I just posted a message about an hour ago about my problems with Samba.
In waiting for a reply, I decided to start working on using this
computer to route IP packets from one NIC to another.  So, I got the
interface working and everything...but now Samba's behaving differently.

I changed my smb.conf file around a little bit and now on the second
NIC's little subnet (just the Linux machine and a Win95 laptop are
connected), I can see Linux and its shares just fine.  But, I can't see
the laptop with smbclient.

Is this just me, or is this wierd?

Having said that, I would like to find out if it is possible to setup a

brimmidietly, but when I request the URL at a client browser which are

pAnd another thing, when I request non-existant url on my intranet like

Subject: HP LaserJet 5L + Samba + Sleep Mode
Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 21:54:37 GMT

Ok, heres a quick question:

I have a HP LaserJet 5L connected to a Linux server running Samba. I
have 2 other Win98 machines that I have printing to the LaserJet 5L.
The slight problem I am having is that if I send a print job to the
laserJet when it is in sleep mode, the printer stops, and all three
display lights come on. To fix this I have to unplug the printer and
then plug it back in. The printer comes back to life and then will
spit out the pages i was trying to print, only they are filled with
junk.

To fix this problem all i have to do is make sure that the 5L is
online before I send it any jobs. When I do that it prints everything
fine.

So my question is how to I get samba to wake the printer up before it
starts trying to print to it. Hopefully someone will have this answer.

 The ftp on my suse system is out to lunch. While it will accept connections
 from the local host it will not accept connections from remote systems. Have
 installed wu.ftpd, proftpd, and the standard ftpd. Have started each using
 inetd, tcpserver, and as indivdual daemons. Have used same ftpaccess etc.
 files as on working systems. All hosts are listed in DNS and Hosts files.
 Other services connect fine such as Telnet, SMTP, etc. This is not a routing
 or name resolution issue.
 
 Symptoms the same with all configurations. Error always the same "Connection
 Refused"
 
 Symtoms:
 All cases can connect on local host
 Suse2 system: Can connect from a NT workstation
 Suse2 system: Refuses connection from Suse1 system ???
 Suse1 system: Refuses connections from any host
 Suse1 system: Sporadically will accept connection once from remote host.
 Drops connection after running any command such as "ls". Then refuses any
 further remote connections from that point - even after restarting all
 services 
 
 It acts as though there is no service listening on the FTP port. Any
 suggestions as to what to look at.
 
 Thanks,

To me, it sounds like there is some sort of firewall in effect, because 
if it were TCP Wrappers, or ftpaccess files, it should connect, check the 
IP against the file, and then disconnect.

Assuming you're on at least a base10 network, try VNC. You can port

available, simpler and a little faster but doesn't run as much X

VNC has it's own host software for both platforms but MIX only
requires DISPLAY = 192.168.XXX.YYY:0 export DISPLAY on the linux
box, then you telnet in from windows and run Xterm  mimimize X,
that's it.

Here's links for both. VNC has binaries for both win32 and linux.

Start the machine in single user mode and correct your problem.  It
sounds that the network card is not being configured correctly so check

Subject: Printing to a QMS2425 printer
Date: Thu, 1 Apr 1999 13:29:46 -0600

  I am trying to print to a QMS 2425 network printer. Currently the printer
only shows that a job appears, but the job is empty and nothing prints. I know
that at least it is talking to the printer because I can telnet to the printer
and then send a job and the printer queue updates, but the number of pages is
zero and the data size is zero. I am doing this using lpd and sending jobs
using who | lpr. Here is a copy of the relevant portion of my printcap file

t3qms:remote-t3qms:\
:lp=/dev/null:sh\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/t3:\
:if=/usr/lib/lpd/filter-t3:
t3qms-remote:\
:lp=/dev/null:sh:\
:rm=T3QMS:\
:rp=raw:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/t3-raw:  

You can ignore the filter, it is a simple filter that calls t3qms-remote. I got
that off of a website or something. T3QMS is in my hosts as the printer IP.  I
have tried many ways of setting this up and the HOWTO simply mentions that it
can be done, but doesn't say how. Even the remote printing section is a little
vague unless I am just reading it wrong (maybe, i've missed simpler things).
Anyway, if anyone can respond with a simple remote printing entry for printcap
or a solution, I would be much obliged.

Date: Thu, 01 Apr 1999 22:00:19 GMT

I've run into this problem twice. The first time it was because I had a
windmodem and didn't know it (I thought it seemed awefully inexpensive).
The second time, however, (this time with a US Robotics internal modem
with jumpers) the problem was with the IRQ and COM (cuan [where n is a
number between 0 and 3] in Linux) settings. Now if your modem is
external, you will have to consult your documentation on how to change
the IRQ and COM settings, but if it is internal, the only way to
configure the IRQ and COM settings manuyally is with jumpers. If you
don't have any jumpers, you either have a PnP (Plug and Play) modem or
you have a windmodem. I will assume that you do have jumpers.

The problem I ran into was that my mouse (serial mouse, not PS/2) was
already using COM1. Keep in mind that COM1 and COM3 use IRQ 4. COM2 and
COM4 use IRQ 3. So, I originally had my modem set to COM1 (IRQ4) so I
just switched the IRQ jumber to IRQ3 and the COM jumper to COM2. I don't
know if this addresses you problem, but this has been my experience.

-Matt

p.s. You might want to poke around your /proc directory to see what's
going on.

You're using your Linux box as a proxy.  You need to run some proxy
software such as SOCKS5.

Squid proxies ftp from web browsers.  I wonder why that's not working.
Check squid.conf to make sure it's configured properly.

Good luck,

Hi, I am very new to this linux world and have been learning little bit at

I have a problem...  I run Redhat 5.2 on my server.  I have my linux box
connected to an existing network and assigned it the only static IP
address I have.  Then, I attached my client computers using a hub. (I have
2 nics in my linux box)  I run IP masquerading using the 192.168.xxx.xxx
format and assigned dummy IPs to all my client computers attached to my
server.  

Problem.  From the client computer, I cannot TELNET, FTP, or check POP
mail beyond my linux box.  it almost seems like my linux server is
restricting my Telnet, FTP and POP requests to leave the server.  All my
client computers see the web...I am using squid.  Any ideas on how I can
fix the FTP TELNET and POP problem I have?  Please assume that I know
nothing about linux when you respond. :-)  Thanks...

Subject: COM ports switching?
Date: Wed, 31 Mar 1999 20:06:17 GMT

My system:

homebuilt w/TX PRO II motherboard and Cyrix MII-300 CPU
64MB EDO
ATI All-in-Wonder 4MB PCI
CMI8330 on-board audio chipset
Zip Zoom SCSI card (Adaptec 152x)
6.4GB WD UDMA HD

I'm running Win98 and Linux-Mandrake 5.3 (Red Hat 5.2 + KDE) and have
developed a problem.  My motherboard has two onboard serial ports, only one
of which is enabled via the BIOS.  Up until a few days ago, the serial port
was COM1 and my modem (Motorola MODEMSURFR 56k) was listed as COM2.  Now, for
no apparent reason, my serial port has become COM3 and my modem COM4.  This
presents no problems in Win98, but under Linux I can't access the modem now. 
The KPPP setup program finds the modem as /dev/cua3 (it can't use /dev/cua1
anymore), but the ATI tests return no codes and the dialer locks up at the
"setting modem speaker volume" screen.

So, my question is -- how do I force my serial port to stay as COM1?  There
seem to be no jumpers on the motherboard that would be relevant for it.

Thanks,
Michael

Does anyone have any experience with IPIP and the tunelling modules in Linux
2.0.x (Specifically -- 2.0.36 in RH5.2).  I can't for the life of me get
this to work outside of my LAN.  Can anyone give me a sample setup for
talking between two machines?

Machine A is in the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet and Machine B is in 192.168.1.0/24.
Machine A's IP is 10.0.0.1, B's is 192.168.1.1.  I want B to have
192.168.1.2.

Throw me a bone, guys =)

Is it possible my provider (Videotron Cable in Canada) is filtering out the
necessary packets?  I believe this is transmitted through UDP.  Is there an
easy way to test it?

Thanks in advance.

It sounds like a similiar problem that I ran into.  If the root partition
on you hard drive is configured so that it crosses the 1024 cylinder
(or sector, I forget which) boundry, then the PC's BIOS is unable
to load the boot information.  I had to use Partition Magic to move
the root partition to the beginning of the drive, boot from the resuce

Date: Mon, 29 Mar 1999 22:17:34 GMT

Background: I also had trouble making a ppp connection to
BellSouth.net ISP under RedHat Linux (v5.2).  I was able to
make a ppp connection to another ISP under Linux, and was
also able to connect to BellSouth.net using Win95's built-in
dialup networking (didn't use BellSouth's dialer).

What seems to have worked:  I used linuxconf to edit the
ppp0 settings -- there is an expect:send pair of TIMEOUT:5
which I changed to TIMEOUT:60 (it probably could be a lower
number, e.g. 15 [seconds])

I also changed my modem init string (this is for a Zoom 2949
external, not necessarily a universal modem init string)
to:  ATFL2E0 

(F, factory defaults, negotiate speed and protocol; L2,
medium speaker volume [just for my ears, not for the
problem]; E0 [E-zero], local echo off)

Using RedHat Network Configurator (netcfg) instead of
linuxconf, the path to the fields to be changed is: 
Interfaces -- Edit ppp0 -- Communication (check modem init
string and also press "Append" to add the expect:send pair
TIMEOUT:60)

Sorry I didn't do this scientifically (changing one thing at
a time), but it's probably the timeout value and the
local-echo-off that make the difference

Hoping this helps someone,

Nothing really; you just need a kernel built with the "nfs" filesystem
or you can dynamically load the "nfs" module.
The portmap, mountd, and nfsd are really only needed on the server.

I keep getting the following error when I try and mount an nfs export
mount: RPC: Program not registered

I use RH5.2

I think this means the server isn't set up right. Are you sure
the server is "fine"? Is it running mountd (rpc.mountd)?
Use "rpcinfo -p server_name" from the client to see what is
registered on the server. Also check the system log file on the server.

Samba and INN running.

I currently use my ISP account name -  coby.demon.co.uk as my domain
i.e.

machine1.coby.demon.co.uk
machine2.coby.demon.co.uk

but cannot use this in Windows as the Workgroup in Network Neighbourhood

only allows 15 letters.

Can I use a fake domain e.g.

machine1.foo
machine2.foo

and still ensure that all mail coming in and going out has the true
domain or
should I keep it the way it is?

Also. is it possible to mail between the two machines using only
usernames.
I've tried this setting up an alias file on the server and using the
unqualified
name feature in sendmail.cf, but I either get a loop or no mail sent at
all.

Any help gratefully appreciated

For something like that a 500MB root partition as the FIRST partition
works well. You can then create other partitions for /usr and /home. I
quite often leave swap for the last few scraps on a disk, but if the
machine does do a bit of swapping, using the second partition can reduce
delays due to the HD heads having to traverse big chunks of the disk. Go
figure, it made a difference on my 486...

We have a problem in here with our small LAN server. We have telnet
accounts from the PCs in the LAN to the Linux server. When they log out,
the connection still seems to exist. So, 'who' also returns users that
have logged out  eg an hour before. It can get really bad, up to a 1day
delay between logging out and really not being in the 'who'-list.
This gets annoying because one can get messages from users that are not
logged in anymore. Talks crash too. When one tries to talk with another
user on the network, user names are cludged - even using the tty device
as a parameter to 'talk' does not work.
The system is a Slackware distribution updated with a 2.0.36 kernel.
Does anyone know of this problem?

I just (re)installed Debian Linux, and I am trying to set up anonymous
FTP access to my machine.

The installation has created a /home/ftp directory, which I assume is
the directory used for anonymous FTP, but when I try to log-in to the
machine, I can't see any files when I "ls" or "dir"...

However, if I try to "cd" to a directory I know exists (eg
/home/ftp/backups), or try to "get" files, this works...

The main reason I want to fix this is to use FTP to set-up Redhat Linux
on a SparcIPX (that has no CD-ROM unfortunately). I want to mount the
Redhat CD in, say, /home/ftp/redhat, and access it via anonymous FTP
from the Sparc. But since it cant read the directories, it cant get the
files.

Any help please?

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

horrible mess that is win95/98but have a few problems.

Breaking up your postings into paragraphs will help make them more

first of all, if there any database of linux drivers on the net? ive
just got a new ethernet card and have configured it so that from
windows boot i can access my uni's networkbut no matter how i
try i cannot do the same thing for linuxi can't even get the
drivers to install properly.

Chances are that the support for your NIC is in the Linux kernel as a
module already.  Since you mention netcfg, I assume you're using either
Red Hat or Mandrake.

Doing a brief search on Usenet via DejaNews:

  http://www.dejanews.com/home_ps.shtml

using a keyword of "realtek" and a forum of "*linux*" might give you
some ideas.  But the 8029 is apparently supported with a little effort.
My initial impression is that the PCINE2K driver might support it.

Also, is there a file manager similar to XTGold in linux?

Consider Midnight Commander.  It has a Norton Commander0like interface,
not XTree, but it's a very nice (and flexible) file manager.  There are
both text-based and GUI versions around.  It's called mc also (that's
what you would type at the command line).

There's also a very old XTree clone out there called UTree, but I've
not seen a copy for a long time.  I used to run it under SLS.  :-)

 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.

 ..d

For me the biggest difference between NT and Linux is the machnes you will need
to run them on. NT will require  a lot more horesepower, RAM, etc... than
Linux.  NT is also more hardware specific so be prepared for more $$$ upfront.

As far as ease of setup I would tend to agree with the thread, the challenge is
more the understanding of networking than the setup of a specific platform.

 Here is what I have:

 I have a peer to peer network with 2 Win98 boxes and one Linux box. One
of
 the Wintel boxes is hooked to my ISDN line and on it is installed Sygate.
 Sygate is a software product that lets me share my ISDN connection. It
runs
 as a "service" on the Wintel box and is setup using DHCP protocol.

 On my other Wintel machine running as the "client", I didn't have to
 configure anything as the Sygate software automatically assigned IP and
took
 care of DNS. But I need to know what I need to set on the Linux box to
get
 it to work.

 Right now on the Linux box, if I enter the IP of a web site, it will
connect
 to the site properly. But if I use the domain name, it times out. That
tells
 me the DNS is messed up somewhere.

 The techs at Sygate told me all I need to set on the Linux box is an
unused
 IP address on my network and the DNS of my ISP. I've done both, but DNS
is
 still not working.

 I'm pretty much a newbie to this Linux stuff, so if someone could step me

If i do 'cat /proc/pci' i can see the card at i/o addres 0xd000.

I'm not sure what to do in order to get it recognized at startup

Is there a way to get back to that particular installation panel

here, that has purred along smoothly from day 1.  I know the BH6 will do
the deed, but can the CPU handle it?  Just curious.

BTW, $2k will get you one hell of a system.  And go ahead and build it
yourself.  It's remarkably easy, even if you haven't done it before.  If
it's a first time thing for you it might take a day or two.  If you know
what you're doing you can have Linux screaming along in under a few
hours.  Also, heed the advice about the supported hardware list.  DO NOT
get a Creative SBLive if you want audio under Linux.  It's a great card
using Windows, but is totally useless with Linux.  And be very careful
about SCSI cards.  Most ethernet cards will work, but I recommend the
Netgear FA310TX (tulip driver).  It's PCI, fast, very cheap and well
supported now.  And also consider an overclocked Celeron 300A with the
venerable BH6.  It's a very inexpensive combination that, wtith a good CPU
fan, should give you great results.  (Necessary disclaimer:  You will void
your CPU warranty by doing this and it might not work at all.)  My
experience with doing this is that the MB and CPU typically work very
well.  Where you are most likely to have problems is with RAM.  Make sure
you buy PC 100 rated stuff that you can take back if it doesn't work.

Final thoughts about a new system.  Since you don't play games, the speed
of the processor shouldn't be your primary concern at this point.  Build
yourself a machine with really high quality components that has tons of
built in CPU upgradability.  (e.g. spend your cash on a killer 19" or 20"
monitor, a 16MB high bandwidth video card, 128MB RAM, and a U2W SCSI
controller running a Barracuda or Cheetah.  (You may want to put in an
extra case fan if you opt for one of the big, bad SCSI drives.  They are
literally very hot!)

Whatever you decide to do, have a blast.!

Hi.  I recently downloaded the latest version of BIND 8.  The
Installation instructions say that it works with RED HAT.  Will it work
with SlackWare too?

Also, I'm trying to set up a DNS server behind a firewall resolving
local names only.  I'd like it to forward to our main DNS if it can't
find anything locally.  I understand that this is a bit more involved.
Does anyone have any good documentation on how to do this?

Subject: DNS problems using Win98/Sygate with RH5.2
Date: Sat, 27 Mar 1999 22:19:41 -0500

Last weekend I installed the Mandrake dist of Linux. It include KDE. The
install went without a hitch except for my network setup.

Here is what I have:

I have a peer to peer network with 2 Win98 boxes and one Linux box. One of
the Wintel boxes is hooked to my ISDN line and on it is installed Sygate.
Sygate is a software product that lets me share my ISDN connection. It runs
as a "service" on the Wintel box and is setup using DHCP protocol.

On my other Wintel machine running as the "client", I didn't have to
configure anything as the Sygate software automatically assigned IP and took
care of DNS. But I need to know what I need to set on the Linux box to get
it to work.

Right now on the Linux box, if I enter the IP of a web site, it will connect
to the site properly. But if I use the domain name, it times out. That tells
me the DNS is messed up somewhere.

The techs at Sygate told me all I need to set on the Linux box is an unused
IP address on my network and the DNS of my ISP. I've done both, but DNS is
still not working.

I'm pretty much a newbie to this Linux stuff, so if someone could step me
through what to look for, that would be really appreciated.

yeah, you need a repeater if you want the cable to be  100m -- the signal
gets too weak. Coaxial cable has a limit of 175m, you might want to give
that a try.
Another way would be to split the network into 2 segments and use a bridge
to connect the two. I'm pretty sure Linux box can do that. Check

I've read articles advising me to purchase a second modem and put in a
second telephone line to my LINUX machine (RedHat 5.1), if I want to both do
'diald' out to the Internet and auto-answer for dial-in.  I don't really
want to purchase another modem, or put in another phone line.  Is there a
way to share the modem for these duties?

I don;t know about diald, but what you want is what I do all the time.
I connect out by using a ppp script (see
axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html for details) and have mgetty sitting
there ready to answer when I am not using it. I have it on ringback, so
that normal phone calls can also use the line without getting the modem
screaming at you.
The only important thing is to make sure that you run pppd with the lock
option. Otherwise mgetty goes mad seeing the phone
in use and feeling it should be handling it.
Now, having both diald and mgetty trying to manage the phone can make
things difficult. If diald can be set up to put in a lock file each time
it makes a connection, then it should be fine, and mgetty and diald
should be able to share. (of course one difficulty would come if the
route is left set up to route things through diald and it then tried
tomake the connection when it is already made through mgetty.)
Ie, pppd + mgetty is easy. diald+mgetty I am not sure about.

The idea here is, when I'm home, I want to use the modem for the Internet
access (and it works fine already!).  When I'm at work, I'd like access to
my home network through a dial-in line, bringing up PPP, hopefully, so I can
have forwarding access to my home network.

Thanks,

Dean Weiten.

Subject: Multi-ethernet config at boot strange problem...
Date: 28 Mar 1999 14:27:29 GMT

Hi everyone !

I've a problem i find really strange  here's the description:

I have a PC acting as a router with 3 ethernet interfaces,
one is PCI and is eth0 (tulip.o driver)
two are ISA and are eth1 and eth2 correctly assigned regarding their io/irq
(ne.o driver for both)

I'm using Linux redhat 5.2, with kernel 2.2.3, with all necessary packages
for kernel 2.2.x
I have the 3 correct files ifcfg-eth0, ifcfg-eth1 and ifcfg-eth2 in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
the drivers are compiled in modules and loaded using kmod feature.

OK, now for the problem :
When booting, the 3 cards are detected, but when i log on and do an
ifconfig,
it reports than eth0 is correctly configured with values of ifcfg-eth0,
eth1 is configured with values of ifcfg-eth2   (aie :) )
eth2 is not configured at all (aie aie :) ) and thus not displayed.

So, what's wrong ?? i've spent 2 days 'hacking' the rc.*, tried to add some
delay between detection/ifconfig and nothing worked ...
Setting up the whole thing manually works fine, but for a router this is not
really cute ...

For now, I'm asking the Gods :)
Any suggestion ??

Thanks in advance,
Seb. W.

This is a strange set of commands since you never terminate the quotes

Hello,
I would like to ask the group if anyone
here is currently using a Linux box connected to
MediaOne Express' cable modem service?
I sent an e-mail to MediaOne and asked if
I could hook a Linux machine up to their cable modem 
service. Perhaps this was a mistake, but I wanted to 
know what they'd say. Well, they said it was not possible.
However, the Linux mini-howto at:

ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/mini/Cable-Modem

contradicts MediaOne's reply. According to the mini-howto
it's relatively simple to set up the service using Red 
Hat (I just got Red Hat 5.2).
Does anyone here use MediaOne Express with 
Linux?

Hi, maybe you should enable echoing in modem (and also in Seygon??).
You better see the list of AT commands for your modem, but I think ATE1

Negotiations collapse at this point, the NT has nothing else to say.
The NT has requested the IP address 171.253.1.200 for itself and pppd
has agreed.  But pppd doesn't have an IP address for itself and this
eventually causes pppd to shutdown the negotiations.

The only apparent hitch is that the NT has requested MPPC, a proprietary
Microsoft compression, and pppd rejected it.  Although this should not
be a problem it's possible that the NT PPP implementation is not as
good as it should be.  I'd try the pppd option "noccp" to prevent any
CCP negotiation since the NT and pppd don't have any common compression
algorithms anyway.

For Redhat Linux, try setting "FORWARD_IPV4=false" to "FORWARD_IPV4=true" in

The Linksys LNE100TX is one of MANY cards based on the DEC "Tulip"

chipset (the reports I've seen are that Intel swallowed up that part of
DEC and has discontinued the chipset).  Fortunately, a number of clones of
the Tulip chipset have become available, and most Tulip board
manufacturers, including Linksys, have simply switched to one of these
clones.  The clones may not be recognized by any but the latest of the
Linux Tulip drivers, though.  You can obtain the latest from:

http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/tulip-devel.html

You'll need to take the tulip.c file and put it in your kernel source
directory (in drivers/net, IIRC), then recompile either modules or the
kernel, depending upon how your system is configured.

Now, if your card is old enough to

This should really be 255.255.255.0 for such a small network, or it's
wasteful and inefficient. And you should really use a net part like
192.168.1.* or something else more private, in case you link them to the

Well, inefficient, yes, in a way. You don't need a class B network for
2 machines . However, this is a perfectly valid IP address for private
networks. See RFC 1597 .

Subject: a few newbie problems
Date: Sat, 27 Mar 1999 14:01:37 GMT

okso ive just begun using linux as a way of getting away from the
horrible mess that is win95/98but have a few problems.first of
all, if there any database of linux drivers on the net? ive just got a
new ethernet card and have configured it so that from windows boot i
can access my uni's networkbut no matter how i try i cannot do the
same thing for linuxi can't even get the drivers to install
properly. Im not sure that the drivers i were given were even
complete. it came with 4 files, 2 c scripts (space.c and rlt8029.c
(the card's brand is realtek)) a Makefile file and a config.in .no
configure, and as the only way i know of installing stuff (save using
rpm) is ./configure, make, make install i am stuffed. I have tried
ignoring the fact that i don't have the drivers working in the hope
that somehow a default linux ethernet driver will kick in and
configured the card in netcfg.but to no avail. i don't think there
is an entry for /dev/eth0 (which the card is) ive tried setting the
DNS and DHCP servers up as eth1 and eth2 in the hope that this would
help but it hasn'tas my knowledge of networking is very shaky i
haven't thought of anything else to try...if anyone can help me that
would be great...i can mail a copy of the drivers. Also, is there a
file manager similar to XTGold in linux? and one last thingive
been recommended X11amp, but after d'ling it ive run into the brick
wall of library dependanciesthe program itself needs a recent
version of the gtk, which in turn requires an equally new version of
glib...after downloading both, and following all instructions i have
been able to install glib and get it fully functional, and install
gtkbut when i try to install X11amp it doesn't detect gtki had
problems attempting to get gtk to detect glib, but it did happen in
the end after much editing of ld.so.conf as advised in one of the
readme files. a similar file for gtk did mention environment variables
or something like that, but i have no idea what they are. if anyone
could plz help me with any of those problems, that would be great.
thanks in advance

Date: Sat, 27 Mar 1999 10:58:34 -0500

Hello,

I have already set up a news server (with the little help from my friends)
for my intranet. Everybody is happy with it and it's working fine. I'm not
receiving newsfeeds from any other host or feeding anybody. Just local news.

The problem arises when I had to add several computers located in a
different campus whose IP addresses are assigned dynamically.

I set up the nnrp.access like this

# deafult to no access
*:: -no- : -no- :!*
#
*.my.domain:Read Post:::*

But they're still able to connect (what means that everybody in the world is
able to connect) I tried to set up an entry for their domain like:

#allow remote users
*.their.domain:Read Post:::*

But it won't work anyways, since apparently the server identifies those
remote computers as belonging to their ISP domain.

But anyways, they're able to connect and read and post and they're suppose
not to, since there's no match for them in the nnrp.access

Any clue?

Please let me know what to do regarding this problem. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

My news server is wet and wide open in the middle of the internet.

Rogelio

Subject: Samba-Win98 FAILS!
Date: Sat, 27 Mar 1999 18:03:14 GMT

I have been unable to copy large directories (~100 files @ 2.5 MBytes) from my
new Samba server to either one of my two Windows 98 clients.  Inevitably,
Windows dies with the following error message midway through the copy:

"Cannot copy filexyz:  the specified network resource or device is no longer
available."

At this point, I've ruled out a bad configuration by doing the tests described
in diagnosis.txt, and satisfied myself that this is not a hardware problem.
What's my next step if I want to get to the bottom of this mess?  How does one
go about debugging problems with file transfers?

Here's the low down on my network:

1 Samba Server [unable to copy files to Win 98 clients]
   Redhat 5.2
   Samba 1.9.18p10
   Celeron 333
   13 Gig HD and 128MB RAM
   SMC 9432 NIC using the epic100 ethernet driver
1 Samba Server [works great!]
   Redhat 5.0
   Samba 1.9.17p4
   Intel 486
   700 MB HD, 32 MB RAM
   SMC ISA NIC 10 MB/s
2 Win 98 clients
1 10/100 Ethernet Switch

My smb.conf is stock redhat with the following modifications:

In global settings I added:

create mask = 770
preserve case = yes ; hate it when Samba changes case on me
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=4096 SO_SNDBUF=4096 ; performance is
abominable otherwise
os level = 33 ; seems to be necessary if I am to view

My shares are as follows:

/home/goppelt [implicit-my Unix home directory]
/home/goppelt/sound
/home/goppelt/music

I don't believe that the hardware such as the cables, switch and Ethernet
cards are responsible for the copy failures for the following reason:

1. The Win98 clients have no problem whatsoever transfering the directories at
high speed between each other using MS-Networking.

2. I replaced the Switch with an old 10Base-T hub and got the same behavior
albeit at slower speeds.

I've watched the transfers using Windows sysmon and what appears to happen is
this:  samba quickly ramps up to 2-3 MB/s.  The transfer continues at 2-3
MB/s for a while then at some point falls off to zero where it either stays
or after a pause of 10-20 seconds picks up again.  If it stays at zero,
Windows dies.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Ryan,

I had the same problem with the 2.2.2 kernel.  I finally realized that I
hadn't compiled with the experimental code option enabled (I think that it
is the first option in the menuconfig).  Once you enable this, you will see
extra options for port forwarding in the networking section of menuconfig.
Recompile the kernel, make modules, etc.  Then try it.  It worked for me.

Hope this helps,
Ken

Date: Thu, 25 Mar 1999 22:42:50 -0800

Just set up my firewall, and so far it's running beautifully. All the
WWW, FTP, etc. traffic seems to be getting through, but Quake II,
Half-Life and GameSpy are rather blocked. 

  I placed the line "/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_quake ports=26000, 27910,
27015" into my config script.  Right now I have some moderately tight
limits on traffic forwarding. I don't want to throw it wide open,
though; just enough to play. This is one of my current statements...

/sbin/ipfwadm -F -m -a accept -P tcp -S $LOCALNET $UNPRIVPORTS \
-D $ANYWHERE ftp ftp-data www telnet

  I tried playing with the port settings and adding udp support, but to
no avail. My question becomes this: is getting out for Quake play just a
matter of adjusting the firewall config, or are there other things to do
as well. I've seen some stuff on the web that suggests that you 'open
ports 5500-5600, 8000-9000, and 1398', but am not quite sure what is
meant by that.

  Thanks much...

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.

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

On my Gateway-Machine sits the Named as forwarding nameserver, the clients
behind it use the Junkbuster filtering-proxy to browse the web.

The Forwardfile from Junkbuster points at last to the Provider-Proxy, but
so my Named is never used. What should i insert before the global-forward?

What to set in the forwardfile to get contact to the local Swat (Samba-Web
Administration-Tool) ? The following forwardfile dont solve that.

# Format:
# targetforward_to  via_gateway_typ gateway

# Enable the following entry to use the squid proxy installed on this

 I have a laptop  T1 line at work, and a desktop  56k modem at home. 
 Both computers have Linux on them.  I bring the laptop home occasionally
 and would like to use a serial null modem cable to swap files loaded
 onto the laptop. The laptop does not have an ethernet connection
 independent of the dock at work, so that isn't an option. 
 
 The current goal:  Connect the laptop and desktop in the simplest way
 possible to tranfer (largish) files.
 
 Alternative 1:  Set up PPP connection with each computer having a
 separate IP address, etc.  I haven't seen this discussed anywhere in
 connection w/ the null modem cable, including the LDP.  Any thoughts?

It isn't discussed because there's nothing to discuss.  This is the
most basic mode of operation of pppd, everything else (dial-up,
dial-in etc) is an additional complication on top. 

Just run pppd on the two machines:

pppd {port} {speed} {local-IP} noauth
 
You may have to delete /etc/ppp/options as some distrubutions  put
silly defaults in there.

You don't actually need "noath" on current versions of pppd but may
need it in future versions so it's worth getting into the habit.

You may need the "local" option if your null-modem cable is not a full
null-modem cable.

   Have you compiled a modular kernel and installed the masquerading

   The one you're after is ip_masq_ftp.o and it should be in the

Probably your Linux box is trying to log the originator of the
connection (your NT box) and it times out on the name resolution for the
IP address.
Try putting your NT IP address in the /etc/hosts file and check that the
order for name resolution is well first hosts file, and then DNS. This
is done with the line 'order hosts, bind' in the file /etc/host.conf

Hope that help :-)

 A hopefully simple question.

 However on my Suse Linux Server 6.0 I can't find the command ypinit but only
 a command ypmake.
 Is this to be used ?

You could use ypmake. But you also could go to /var/yp and run make.

Or even better, you could read the SuSE NIS HOWTO at /usr/doc/packages/yp/HOWTO.
For this reason, it was written.

I have fixed the missing ypinit for the upcoming SuSE Linux 6.1 for some weeks.

The Linux box needs two ethernet cards.  You have to compile the kernel to
support IP Masquarading.  Your first ethernet card, eth0, will connect to the
cable modem, and the second one will connect to the hub.  Configure the first
one to get its IP via dhcpd, and assign the second one 192.168.1.1.

Subject: ncpfs to log in Netware 4.11?
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 11:03:28 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am on a Novell 4.11 network with 2.2 kernel running ncpfs to connect
as a client, primarily working in DOSEmu .9.8.5 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"; when I try to
log in using the Netware login utility, it says:,

"(shell) E:\LOGINlogin
LOGIN-4.13-905: This utility was unable to initialize the country
information".

(b) The free space shown on the network in DOS is always "0" and one
out of every 5 times I try to look at directories in WordPerfect 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.

[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 do not presently have a "lastdrive"
command, which did not seem to affect anything one way or the other.

I mount the volume with "ncpmount -S [the Novell volume] /mnt/e: -U
ftp -n"

The first time I give the command, the system responds:
"ncpmount: No primary IPX interface found when trying to find [the
Novell volume]".  The second time I use the command, it does not give
a response, and the volume appears to be loaded.  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:/sys  [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:/sys  [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

I have some strange to me problems when I use the dial-up conection.

while i was connected I run ifconfig and here are some details:

Rx packets 10 error 0 etc..
Tx packets 10 errors 0 etc..

I can ping servers on the internet sucessfully
When I'm trying with netscape it seems that the servers has been found but
its waiting an eternity for response ..

I have seen on the kde kppp details window the rate 1kb/s  ??..

Before installing RH-5.2 I was using for a while the RH-5.1 and I had no
problems with the ppp (even without assining DNS servers nor gateway to the
script...)

Any ideas??

Subject: Problems disconnecting PPP!?
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 17:20:39 -0500

I've got a semi-major problem.. I have my PPP connection set up with RH
5.2's linuxconf (had this prob with both kernel 2.0.6 and 2.2.4) and set

up to reconnect on disconnection. I can do an 'ifup ppp0' and it will
connect fine, but when I try to disconnect using any number of
possiblities, it doesn't work.. I've tried 'ifdown ppp0', 'usernetctl
ppp0 down', usernet, and linuxconf's built-in disconnect, and none of
them seem to disconnect by itself. the only thing they seem to
accomplish is to turn off auto-redial when I end up killing the pppd
process (it's the only way I can get my modem to physically
disconnect..) Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: 2 computers (Win98  Linux) sharing modem to Internet
Date: Sat, 20 Mar 1999 18:12:06 -0800

Background:
I have a 486DX-33 running Linux and a Win98 computer. I have a single
dial-up account at an ISP which I would like to share betwixt the two,
instead of coordinating with my wife over access. The Windows machine will
be taking the Lion's share of the bandwidth. I am not interested in sharing
disks, printers, and whatnot. Neither computer has a network card at this
point.

Theory:
Connect the Win98 box to the Linux box via null-modem. The Linux box
connects to the internet at will. The Win98 box "dials-in" to the Linux box,
which connects to the internet if it isn't already, and shares the
connection with the Win98 computer.

Question(s):
Am I crazy? Is this too much to ask of my little 33Mhz Linux baby?

I've got masquerading perfectly - even ICQ is happy now.
Unfortunately, though the masqed computers are fine, the masqING
computer isn't. After a short time online (5-10 minutes) I lose the
ability to connect on ftp and irc ports. What could possibly cause
that? Even after this happens, the masqed computers can still use them
- it's only the firewall that loses it.

When I check another machine running win95 there be valid addresses in the

 Hi all,  I have been lurking around the c.o.l newsgroups for awhile and
 haven't seen a problem like this one asked.

 I have two computers we'll call them COMP-A and COMP-B for talk sake.

 COMP-A is running Linux Only.
 COMP-B is a tri-boot Win98-WinNT 4.0-Linux (Don't ask)

 Anyway when COMP-B is booted to Linux or WinNT I have no networking
problems
 at all; however Win98 is unable to send or receive ping packets to/from
 COMP-A

 This tells me the hardware is working and seated in the slot correctly.


 I think I have it narrowed down to Win98's routing table.  Here it is..

 Active Routes:

   Network Address Netmask Gateway Address   Interface
 Metric
   0.0.0.0   0.0.0.0192.168.1.254
 192.168.1.2   1
   127.0.0.0  255.0.0.0127.0.0.1
 127.0.0.11
   192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0192.168.1.2
 192.168.1.21
   192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255127.0.0.1
 127.0.0.1   1
   192.168.1.255 255.255.255.255   192.168.1.2
 192.168.1.21
   224.0.0.0  224.0.0.0 192.168.1.2
 192.168.1.21
   255.255.255.255255.255.255.255192.168.1.2  0.0.0.0
 1


 (I'm terribly sorry if the format gets lost)


 According to BillyWare's help files everything seems ok until the last
line
 where the interface is  0.0.0.0The help file says that is the way
Win98
 sends packets to the network.
 If thats the case then it's wrong it should be  192.168.1.2  but the
 question is how do I change it? if I try to delete it using:
 route delete 255.255.255.255
 it says : bad destination address 255.255.255.255
 if I try to add it again using:
 route add 255.255.255.255  mask 255.255.255.255  192.168.1.2  metric 1
 it says: bad destination address 255.255.255.255


 Win 98 will ping loopback (127.0.0.1) and its IP (192.168.1.2)
 so TCP/IP seems to be installed correctly

 By the way .. On Win NT here is the last line
 255.255.255.255  255.255.255.255  192.168.1.2  192.168.1.2
 so NT is correct. (and it works).


 Here is what I've done so far: (SEVERAL TIMES)
 uninstalled all networking, pulled the ethernet card, rebooted
 reinstalled the ethernet card, reinstalled all networking, rebooted

 If anyone has any suggestions on other things to try or need more info
 please ask, I've tried to include as much info as I can.  I am new to
 networking so if I've overlooked something please let me know

 Thanks,
 Mark

  initrd image is the image of the "Initial RAM disk" which contains
  some of the kernel modules that are necessary to boot up the system,
  e.g. some block devices: SCSI drivers, sound card drivers, etc.
  
   Another Question is that:

   Can I compile it from /usr/src/linux-2.2.3/drivers/net/3c59x.c

  after

   How to compile ?
  
  As you stated in your past messages, you have built the modules _INTO_
  the kernel image, i.e. bzImage.
  
  If you _do_ want to build them as loadable modules instead, you can do:
  make xconfig OR   make configWhatever you want
Select the drivers: NE2000 and 3C59x as modules [M] (instead of [Y])
  make modules
  make modules_install
  
  However, please refer to my last message.  In it, you can find a way
  to force the kernel to detect your NE2000.

Some kind person sent me an email concerning how to deal with "default route" problem 
I'm having as
discussed in the second paragraph below, and as I was reading the email (you're not 
going to believe
this) my cat walked across the keyboard, stepping on the "Del" key.  My email reader 
(Agent) offers
no recovery mechanism once email is deleted, so I'm appealing to the Good Samaritan to 
resend his
words of wisdom on how to deal with default routing.


TIA,

  Original post follows 

Hi Steph,

Here's what I do to get around that same problem.  It seems that eth0 is the default 
route, and
you're actually pinging your internal network.  After starting X, I first issue the 
command:
route del default

Then I open the Network Configurator from Control Panel, select interfaces, select 
ppp0, and click
Active button.  This initiates the dial-out and I'm connected properly.  I don't know 
why, but if I
reboot, the default route is restored, so I have to go through this routine each time. 
 It feels
like a kludge, but, hey, I'm still learning.


HTH,

dialed up but then PAP kicked me off.

I got PAP to work by changing my /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file from:

good luck

You can convert ASP server pages to PHP scripts with a conversion
tool called asp2php.  You can check out the homepage at

http://www.inlink.com/~naken/asp2php/

I am curious as to why anyone is assuming that ASP is necessarily
more extensible or flexible than PHP.

You can compile Frontpage extensions into Apache, of course.  I would
not encourage anyone to do so, simply because there are other, more
standard options to achieve the same goals, without binding yourself
hip and thigh to one vendors solution, but to each his own...
