Subject: Debian and EtherExpress 16
Date: Wed, 30 Dec 1998 18:16:36 -0500
All,
I have a Debian 2.0.25 machine running fine. When I put a 3-Com 509 in
and put "3c509.o" in /etc/modules, everything works fine -- eth0 comes
up with base address 0x300 and IRQ 10. I have full access to the
Internet, etc. However... when I put in an EtherExpress 16 and put
"eexpress.o" into /etc/modules (removing the 3Com card and "3c509.o"),
it complains that it "Failed to register card at 0x0." Knowing just
enough to be able to mess things up, I figured it needed to be
explicitly told the base address of 300 (what the other card, when in
the same slot, picked by default) and IRQ 10. I put
alias eth0 eexpress
options eth0 io=0x300 irq=10
into /etc/conf.modules, but same error. I know the card works -- I've
had it on a Win98 machine, running beautifully.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated,
Liz (using my little brother's account)

Subject: How to use Tape Backup ?
Date: Wed, 30 Dec 1998 18:28:24 -0500
Hello all
I have become the proud administrator of a new linux server at work.
(the owner did not care what I used as long as it worked. COOL ) I
got everyones accounts in the small workgroup up and running with samba
without a hitch.
I have been using Linux for a year or so but have never had to use or
had available a tape backup unit and I am not real sure how to use this
thing. I played around with bru2000 but the non graphical version says
license expired. (The version included with 5.2)
I did not care to use the graphical version as I want to run the backups
at night as a cron job.
I found the program mt and can access the tape drive and rewind it,
erase it. I do not really understand the purpose of moving around the
blocks (to the beginning of the first and end of the previous, etc.
Well I understand what it does but when and why does to do it)
I also found the dump program.. I played with this and backed up the
home directory as a test ( not very big yet ) the program kept asking
me if the next share was ready.
Anyway, is dump the best way to do this? Any suggestions? Better yet,
If anyone has any scripts that I could use that would be very nice.
Oh yea, the tape is a SCSI HP that uses 4Gb dat tapes. I do not
remember the exact model. (at home now) The backup will only run on
the local machine, atleast for now.
Thanks for all the help.

In a word no. Now for the longer answer. Netatalk can only export
Linux directories to Macs, it doesn't allow you to do the reverse.
There are two or three other possible solutions:
a) Try to find "afpfs" for Linux. This is a kernel module that
allows Linux boxes to access remote Macintosh shares, but it
only allows you to see the data fork -- not the resource fork.
afpfs used to be available from:
http://www.odyssey.co.il/~heksterb/Software/afpfs
But both the site and Ben Hekster have not been heard from for
a while.
b) Install an NFS server on the Mac.
Jude Giampolo formerly from CWRU wrote a mac NFSd. You will
find both Jude's program and his notes at the URL
http://prozac.cwru.edu/jude/macnfs/Macnfsd.html
Again with MacNFSd my recollection is that it only serves the
data fork of Macintosh files
c) Install DAVE on the Mac
DAVE is an SMB client/server package for Macs
I have used it to mount Windows NT shares and SAMBA shares
on Macs, but haven't tried using it the other way about. If
DAVE does export both the data and resource fork, you could
install DAVE on the Mac, use SMB to directly mount the Mac
on the NT server and do your backup. You'll find more information
on DAVE at http://www.thursby.com
Hope this helps,
Ashok

Subject: IP alias
Is it possible to have a network interface respond
to more than 1 IP address. I am working thru the
Apache book. They use BSD ifconfig which allows
IP aliases. Can this be done in Linux. I am using
Slackware 3.3 (3.6 is sitting here waiting for me
to do the backups and installation).

Ok, so that site is looking to employ someone who has good skills in Network
design (cable specs etc), AND Unix Admin, AND Netweare Admin, AND Mirosoft
Windows PC support. That's just fine.
Yes, I'd expect some networking questions in a Unix exam. At least how to
troubleshoot "I cant see the server", and configuring the O/S.
When I took a Unix Admin exam, I wasn't expecting to be asked about CAT-5
network cable specifications, or configuring AppleTalk.
Doesn't matter anyway, I just did the exam for fun, and it was free; although I
am tempted to say that the exam was worth exactly what I paid for it.

I did try this and it got me some of the way, but it does not seem to have
answered my question fully. I guess the fact that it was almost midnight
when I was up working on this could be part of the problem though. Does
anyone else know where the plug-in directory is located. To take an example
the MacroMedia Flash installation instructions say to place a certain file in
the Netscape Plug-In directory.

connect to it. I get the "\linux-machine is not accessible". I know
that linux is heavy on security. Is there someplace that I am to tell

There is more than one type of EuroViVa modem. The ones that end with
LC-? are Lucent chipset modems. These are also Windows-only modems.
The modems that end with R-? are Rockwell ACF chipset modems, but I'm not
