Linux Redhat6.2, PIII600, 128MB RAM. cisco25xx served as our wan connection
router.
LAN IP: 10.10.10.x
cisco router: 10.10.10.254, name "vgate", community "public"
Linux server: 10.10.10.103 name "lnx1"
I plan to use MTRG to monitor my router's traffic. I have already compiled
all pre-required lib. But there is no snmpd running on my linux box.I
understand that ucd-snmp pkg has been installed but not configured. Frankly
I am quite new with snmp.
Could you advise how to configure and run snmp in a linux box? or introduce
some web site and articles?
Thanks a lot.

As I know RedHat does customize the kernel they release with their
distors. However, they also happen to employ quite a few kernel
hackers, and their patches which are part or the RedHat kernels
have a very good chance to end up in Linus' official kernel.

Subject: Port forwarding
Date: Sun, 01 Oct 2000 09:53:41 GMT
I have a masquerading firewall and I have to forward a port (e.g. the
connection has to be passed to another computer on the internal network). Of
course I could use portfwd, but I don't like this tool.
Could I use inetd in combination with netcat (nc) for this? (Netcat is some
sort of telnet)
When I put the following in my inetd.conf:
napster dgram udp wait root /usr/bin/nc 192.168.0.4 6699
Will it work?

The way I'd forward ports is using these two tools (eg, to use port
forwarding to send all connections coming in from RemoteBox to port
3000 on Firewall to the internal host "InternalMachine", port 4000 you
could use:
ipchains -I input -p tcp -y -s RemoteBox/32 -d Firewall/32 3000 -j ACCEPT -m 1
ipmasqadm mfw -I -m 1 -r InternalMachine 4000

With a 20Gb drive, you will encounter the 1024 cylinder limit of the old PC
bios. LILO uses bios calls to load the system, so if part of your kernel /
initrd / map file lie above cylinder 1023, they are not addressable.
Make a boot disk to get linux up and running. Then get the source code to
LILO 21.5.1. If your bios supports the EDD packet call interface on int 0x13,
you will be able to boot beyond the 1024 cylinder limit.

Respawn happens when the system tries to make heads or tails out of the

mingetty, I am assuming that you plugged "mingetty" in where the examples
used agetty & mgetty. In which case the command parameters may be different
and a direct substitution will not work
You have what? 6 or 7 virtual consoles? For lack of any other response
from this newsgroup I would change the 7th to agetty or mgetty and see
what happens, then try with alogin. Still getting respawn, then change it
back. (Anything about permissions in there? Make sure you've set it.)
good luck

Use either loadlin.exe to start Linux from Windows, or use your rescue
floppy to boot into Linux and reinstall LILO. Windows always
overwrites the MBR when you install it.

I have Linux Mandrake 6.0 with 2.2.13-22mdk. I also have an IBM z50
Handheld PC with WinCE 3.0. Proceed only if you're a ppp guru and/or
have a HPC of this sort, or find amusement at somebody else's
predicament.
I've synced with my Windows 98 PC before, this supposedly 'brands' the
H/PC with the IP address of 192.168.55.100. I have set up a 'Remote
Networking' terminal in WinCE to 'Use server-assigned IP addresses' so
that IP address is grayed out. I have also checked, in Control
Panel/Communications: "Allow connection with desktop when device is
attached", and specified the rate to 115k. The connection would work
once, I am able to work, but once I disconnect to resume at a later time,
ppp times out during Config request.
