I don't think Dial_in-HOWTO exists. PPP-HOWTO has some hints for this

compile ur kernel with experimental drivers and activate the following:
ip forwarding
ip masquerading
ipautofw support
then create a script with the contents:
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
which must be run as root, after u have established the internet
connection on ur machine. this should solve the problem.
but u have to think about further (if necessary) security, due
to this solution isnt secure at all. for further information
read the ip-masquerading HOWTO or check out
http://www.indyramp.com/masq
or, email me if this isnt enough.
good luck with it,

Subject: Dial up with RH 5.0
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 06:46:45 GMT
Hi,
I can't seem to initiate a dial up to start a PPP contion to my ISP
with RH 5.0
I've checked PPP and TCP/IP are installed and set up a PPP conection in
using the Network configuration tool, adding
phone numbers, id and pw etc and activated the PPP link.
The modem is set up on 'com3' and appears OK.
However, other that one apparantly random attempt at dialing, the modem
doesn't dial out. I can't find and equivalent to clicking on a DUN
icon (a la Win 95) nor an option in Netscape to initiate a connection
automatically.
(I'm pretty sure the line and modem are OK, they work under Win 95)
Am I missing something obvious?
The RH documentation is all but useless in this area.
Thanks in advance & Regards
Brian

I use NEdit alot for code. I have a pretty good vi sense, but I don't feel the
need to do a whole lot of vi while I have a window manager running. Plus, so many
editors can handle the most commonly used regex stuff for searches, etc, why
torture yourself with something you don't like? I, too, have seen some people
sling emacs around like a rag doll, pretty impressive. Hey, if you want to get
started with it, it certainly isn't limited. It just never stuck to me. I've got
lot's of code yet to write, so there's still hope...

Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 06:46:40 GMT
Hi,
I am having a few problems with nfs and dhcpd on a redhat 5.1 box.
If I do a 'standard' installation, and setup nfs everything is fine.
Nfs starts up, and exports to our clients with no trouble.
But when I install the rpms dhcp-2.0b1pl0-2.i386.rpm, and dhcpcd-2.65-2.i386.rpm
nfs stays up until I restart nfs or reboot the machine. I cannot access any
nfs exports for about 10-15 minutes after a restart!
This happens just by installing the rpms, I don't have to actully start dhcpd
to get this problem.
Any Ideas?

Read up on 'cron' for scheduling. You can set it up to run the ppp-on
script at 8:00 every morning and have it run the ppp-off script at 6:00
every night. Very powerful feature, and one you don't see used in the GUI
world of WinNT. Although they have 'at' for a similar scheduling feature,
it can't be used in most apps because they all forgo text based interface in
favor of a total graphical approach.
Sorry, just had to get a plug in for the anti-NT camp.

You only need these if you want to share data. In this situation he's
just trying to ping the box, which any machine with the TCP/IP stack
should be able to do. If you can't ping you've got network issues.
I'd start on the linux box since your other machines seem to be fine.
I can't help much on the config for linux as I'm a Solaris guy but
there are files like /etc/defaultrouter that need to exist and have
the IP of the default router. /etc/resolv.conf needs the IP of the
nameserver if using DNS and /etc/hosts for host mapping IP's. They
may not be the same files under linux but it needs the equivalent.

Definitely RMS and not RDB databases? Then ISG navigator should do it as
others have mentioned. If it's RDB databases then ISG navigator will still
work but you might prefer to use the Oracle ODBC driver for RDB. You could
use RDB transparent gateway to RMS even if they are simple RMS files but this
would be ludicrously expensive if you don't actually have RDB.
Come to think of it I'm not sure that ISG supports Linux. Oracle does but I
shudder to think of the cost of installing Oracle, SQL/Net, RDB and
transparent gateway just to access RMS files.
But looking at it another way depending on what you actually need to do this
could be as simple as a few lines of DCL running under UCX's inetd server.
It's easy to read/write RMS files in DCL passing args to/from SYS$NET.

Subject: how to silently ignore RIP
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 06:49:25 GMT
I'm wondering if someone could tell me how I can setup my
Linux so that it would *silently* ignore all RIP that comes
across the PPP link from my ISP.
Some background:
I've been trying to figure out why my diald won't bring the
PPP link down after I have finished using it (and given
enough time to time out). It cannot be the RIP because it
is ignored in the standard.filter. After checking the log
files, I found out that my Linux box was sending back ICMP
port unreachable messages back to the ISP in response to the
RIP! (BTW, I don't run routed, which is why the port
unreachable messages.) ICMP was "accepted" by the catch all
rule, which kept the link up for another 30 seconds, enough
time for the next RIP..
I think the best way to get around this problem is to setup
my Linux to *not* generate all that ICMP messages, hence
this post. I think it's also possible to add an ignore rule
to the standard.filter, but I'm not sure if *I* can write
such a selective rule (ICMP unreachable port message
generated in response to RIP). Since I am running a
firewall, I can also simply deny all RIP coming from the
ISP... Also, there's running routed, just for this purpose,
but I don't really like that idea..:-)
Your response would be appreciated.

Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 06:49:30 GMT
mars_nwe 0.99.pl13
rh linux 5.1/2.0.35
I'd like to manage all access for the mars server using SYSCON rather than
having the added complexity of Linux rights (limitations in this case). This
is a problem because even in a shared directory, if one user creates a file,
others can't delete/modify it because the person creating the file owns it
(as Linux sees it). That's a problem when I assign several users to a mars
group that *SHOULD* have r/w access to all files in a directory, but in
practice do not because owner rights prevent other users from exercising
those rights. I guess I was under the mistaken impression that mars_nwe
performed all operations under the nw-adm user to prevent this problem. I can
think of two ways to do this - perhaps someone can point out potential
problems/other solutions:
1) Map all (mars) users to a single Linux user (I don't know exactly how to
do this for existing users, but I think it can be done for new users in
section 13 of nwserv.conf). Do they all have to have the password to the
mapped user (Linux side)? If so, that's not going to work.
2) Simply give generous permissions on the volume (777 file and directories).
This assumes that mars_nwe will perform its own sercuity by limiting access
based on trustee rights rather than Linux rights. Have not tested it yet.

I tried that, but got that same failure.

I tried the domain\\user format, but could never get the \ to
appear correctly in the chap packets. However, the fact that the
exact same secrets file is enough to authenticate me when using PAP
seems to imply that I don't need to add the domain. Also, the
documentation says that the domain name is needed only when the
NT box is not a domain controller. It also says that standalone boxes
are their own domain controller. It's a standalone, so I'm pretty
sure I don't need the domain formating.

Hi,
Is it possible that noone uses Linux with Resnet?
If not, and I hope so, then can someone tell me where I can find
the informations to do that (somehow I would like to have a complete set
of informations, not just the sentence, that Ohh, you need dhcp or
something like this)
Thanks, Tamas
