==================================================================
LINUX: BROADCAST
In order for dhcpd to work correctly with picky DHCP clients (e.g.,
Windows 95), it must be able to send packets with an IP destination
address of 255.255.255.255. Unfortunately, Linux insists on changing
255.255.255.255 into the local subnet broadcast address (here, that's
192.5.5.223). This results in a DHCP protocol violation, and while
many DHCP clients don't notice the problem, some (e.g., all Microsoft
DHCP clients) do. Clients that have this problem will appear not to
see DHCPOFFER messages from the server.
It is possible to work around this problem on some versions of Linux
by creating a host route from your network interface address to
255.255.255.255. The command you need to use to do this on Linux
varies from version to version. The easiest version is:
route add -host 255.255.255.255 dev eth0
On some older Linux systems, you will get an error if you try to do
this. On those systems, try adding the following entry to your
/etc/hosts file:
255.255.255.255 all-ones
Then, try:
route add -host all-ones dev eth0
Another route that has worked for some users is:
route add -net 255.255.255.0 dev eth0
If you are not using eth0 as your network interface, you should
specify the network interface you *are* using in your route command.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Sun, 04 Feb 2001 13:51:55 GMT
I'm trying to use tar to back up the home directories of my users. I
use the following command
tar -cvf user.tar -X user.exclude /home/user
where user.exclude contains the following
/home/user/.gnome/*
/home/user/.kde/*
etc.
When I run the tar command, it doesn't back up anything in the user's
home directory.
BTW, if I try to exclude ordinary directories by using
/home/user/work/*
tar seems to work fine *unless* /home/user/.gnome/* is also in user.exclude.

Subject: Re: change pump to dhcpcd
Date: Sun, 4 Feb 2001 06:47:40 -0800
Take a look at the book "Linux Firewalls" by Robert L. Ziegler, New Riders,
page 425 - 432. He gives a good description of switching from pump to dhcpd.
I just switched to dhcpd myself from pump because I'm using an internet
firewall with web services (Apache, wu-ftp, etc, etc) with a dynamic IP
(rather than static) IP address. As a consequence I need dhcpd to run the
firewall script again any time the ip address changes.
Some things to consider:
1) "pump" is used in Redhat 6.0 and beyond. "dhcpd" was used in pre-6.0.
2) dhcpd is included in the Redhat distribution even though it's not used,
(ie: an RPM).
3) To install I would first manually create /etc/dhcpc, then install. Next I
would
place any scripts for dhcpcd to run in /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.exe,
(this is
not an executable, it is a bash script you create from scratch! Replace
"eth0" with
whatever your interface is, though I never had any luck with "ppp0".
4) Now type /sbin/dhcpcd and you will get an ip address assigned.
Type "/sbin/dhcpcd -k" to shut down dhcpd. It will leave
your eth0 down, so when done you have to do "ifup eth0".
5) Apparently the current version of dhcpd doesn't run the
/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.exe bash script if the new IP address
assignment is the same as the old IP address. Older versions of
dhcpcd ran the script even when the IP didn't change.
6) In Redhat 6.0 (and possibly other versions) where pump is used you may
want
to modify /sbin/ifup to use dhcpcd rather than pump, for example
if [ -n "$PUMP" ]; then
echo -n "Determining IP information for $DEVICE..."
if /sbin/dhcpcd; then
/etc/rc.d/init.d/myfirewallbashscript
else
echo "failed."
exit 1
fi
else ...

Many ways to do this, and you don't give much info on your distro.
My way:
follow ppp howto at www.linuxdoc.org
get everything working manually so that your chatscripts etc all work by
hand.
use demand dialing feature of pppd, here's the script I use to start pppd:
#! /bin/sh
# A demand dialing script.
# Replace ttySx with your modem's device file, xxx-xxxx with your
# ISP's telephone number, xxxxxxx with your ISP username, and X
# with whatever idle time you choose. Add or change any options
# as required to connect and let the ISP start PPP on it's end.
# Configure the /etc/ppp/{chap,pap}-secrets files for PAP and CHAP.
# with the ISP username and secret. Read man pppd and man chat for
# insight into the options.
# The -detach is optional, if you don't want to have the option
# of canceling pppd at the console with Control-C then you can
# leave it off (if you do then remember to remove the last `\').
# In order to terminate pppd in the demand mode you need to do at
# least " kill -INT `pidof pppd` " or equivalent. This is not the
# same as terminating the PPP connection in demand mode, which can
# be done with " kill -HUP `pidof pppd` " or equivalent.
# Any two reserved IP addresses can be used as placemarkers for the
# ISP assigned IP addresses instead of 192.168.0.1:192.168.0.2, and,
# for pppd 2.3.10 and greater, the placemarker IP address option
# is unnecessary.
# The "holdoff 0" speeds up redialing on an abort, e.g., BUSY. The
# default holdoff is 30 seconds (not given in the pppd man pages)
# and holdoff applies whenever the demand option is specified without
# the nopersist option. Change the holdoff value as you see fit.

Subject: Run-level for chconfig processes
Date: Sun, 4 Feb 2001 06:50:09 -0800
How does a person determine what run-level is required for processes added
to chkconfig? For example, when I installed Apache webserver all the howto's
I cam across suggested "345", (ie: "# chkconfig: 345 85 15").
Now I have installed open-ssh and find one howto that suggests using 3 and
5. Any suggestions as to what to use and why?

Do the following, (I am on Redhat 6.0):
1) Note that sample PPP scripts are located in
/usr/doc/ppp-<versionnumber>/scripts.
For example, I have /usr/doc/ppp-2.3.7/scripts.
2) Copy the ppp-on file to /usr/local/bin, then modify it for TELPHONE,
ACCOUNT,
and PASSWORD. Also ensure that the COM port is specified correctly,
for example: ttyS1, and that the maximum modem speed is specified
correctly, (eg: 57600).
3) Next, copy the ppp-on-dialer file to /etc/ppp. Modify it by adding the
following
line to the end of the file:
">" ppp
This will send the string "ppp" to initiate PPP when the ISP sends their
prompt
(ie: ">"). The ISP is waiting for a menu of choices, one of which is
PPP. You
may or may not need this depending on your particular ISP. My ISP
requires
it because they always come up with a text menu asking if I want telnet,
PPP,
and a host of other options. I have to enter "ppp" at the prompt to
initiate
ppp. Therefore the script must also do this for my ISP. My ISP's prompt
for a response is "10101m01>", so I use the last character in the string
to
detect when my ppp-on-dialer script should respond with "ppp".
4) In the same ppp-on-dialer file modify the line "ogin: --ogin: $ACCOUNT"
to read "name: $ACCOUNT". This is only required if your ISP prompts as
"Username:" rather than "Login:".
5) The ppp-off file does not need to be copied from
/usr/doc/ppp-2.3.7/scripts.
instead create a file called ppp-off in /usr/local/bin containing the
command
"killall pppd".
6) To start ppp automatically when booting Linux put the following line into
/etc/rc.d/rc.local:
/usr/local/bin/ppp-on &
7) To stop ppp at any time type ppp-off, or else do a "killall pppd".
8) If you have firewall script, a Dynamic DNS hoster's Linux client, or any
thing else that needs to run whenever ppp successfully connects then
call that script or program from within the script /etc/ppp/ip-up, or
else to /etc/ppp/ip-up.local, (personally - I just make the changes to
/etc/ppp/ip-up and everything works great). For example, I have an
ipchains firewall and DYNU.COM's Dynamic DNS Linux client
that both need to be called on a successful ppp connection so I
call them both from ip-up. This is better than calling from rc.local
because rc.local only gets run at boot-up time whereas ip-up
gets run on any successful ppp connection even if the machine is
already booted, (ie: ppp dropped and then you redialed).
9) Once connected, type "ifconfig" to see what IP address you were
assigned by your ISP.
10) To make your ISP's nameservers available after establishing a ppp
connection you will have first entered them into the
/etc/resolv.conf file, something like this for my ISP:
search direct.ca
nameserver 199.60.229.4
nameserver 199.60.229.2
Hope this helps,

Hello everybody. I've tried to install Matlab and discovered (from their
tech support) that RH7 came with a buggy version of "glibc." They said to
upgrade to 2.2.1 and all should be well. I downloaded the glibc-2.2.1 RPM
for my RH7 system allong with the glibc-common-2.2.1 RPM. I tried updating
the glibc-2.2.1 with the "-Uvh" flags set and I got an error telling my
that I needed to install glibc-common first. I then tried to install that
with the "-Uvh" and then the "-Fvh" flags, both failed. It said that
glibc-common-2.2.1 was conflicting with glibc-common-2.2.1! I tried "rpm
-q glibc-common" and it said that glibc-common was not installed. It also
gave an error regareing /usr/bin/getenv and stunnel. Has anybody running
RH7 been able to install this package? any ideas?

I think I've found the answer to my own question. It appears that I
had extra whitespace in the form of newlines at the end of my exclude
files. Apparently, tar interprets this as meaning that all files
should be excluded. In any case, I took out the extra whitespace, and
it's working fine now.

I believe that the i386 unstable Packages file says (in the libc6 section)
: Filename: pool/main/g/glibc/libc6_2.2.1-1_i386.deb
so that you should look in
ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glibc
(or similarly for some other Debian mirror).
You may have to update several other packages, too. All this will be
taken care of automagically if you use apt-get(8) to upgrade to unstable.

Similar thing happened to me! Everything works with kernel 2.4.0, but I
lost ppp when I compiled kernel 2.4.1. In Gnome it dials through to my
ISP and then reports "connection failed" and crashes. If I initiate ppp
through Linuxconf, it dials in and responds "if-up is taking longer than
expected - kill it?".
When time allows, I have been trying to tweak the config to get it

Hopefully, someone in this NG has an idea what is wrong.

You really only need to care about the runlevels you actually use. Most
people use 3 (text login) or 5 (xdm or graphical login). If the machine
is a firewall or server, then it might run at other levels.
You can check out /etc/inittab for more information, including the
default runlevel which is indicated by the number between the colons
near the top of that file:
id:5:initdefault:

I have noticed CLOSE_WAIT, but they usually go away after awhile. Are you
doing something network intensive or do you recognize the hosts and ports
and what they were used for. Maybe you are being scanned or attacked.
I never have to reboot because of it (high load ave is SETI@home).
