Subject: 3c574 and Omnibook laptop problem
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 06:39:38 GMT
Hello,
I set up a HP Omnibook with RedHat linux 5.2 for a collegue at work
(which is working fine) and now he's bought a 3Com Megahertz 3CCFEM556
Ethernet/Modem (3c574 in driver terms), however I'm having problems
gettting to work (it works fine under windows which is a bitter pill to
swallow).
I got the latest version of pcmcia card manager (3.0.6) and it does note
that the 3c574 just doesn't respond in some cases, but I'd like your
advice as to whether this is the case here or whether I've missed
something out (this is the first time I've done a linux system with
pcmcia).
The card manager build went okay and I set up the network configuration
in the same way as I've always done except for /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia
where PCMCIA=yes this time. The messages at boot time seem to suggest
that the card is being detected and the correct driver loaded (the
/etc/log/messages text is included at the end of this post). However I
don't know what to make of the other messages (eg, cs: warning: no high
memory space available!)
Does anyone have any ideas of what is going on here, the messages are
far too cryptic for me? If you need any more info or listings of config
files, please let me know and I'll post them. If you're posting to the
news group please email me also.
Many thanks, Neal.
(/etc/log/messages is below (the machine named zeus near the end is a
nis server))

clarity)

Have you tried passing parameters to the driver/module? Take a look at
Paul Gortmaker's HOWTOs:
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/BootPrompt-HOWTO
I'm using a 3c509 with 2.0.36 sans parameters; but when installing the
distribution was asked to supply IRQ and BASE. See '/etc/conf.modules'.
Auto probing can get confused and any change in the kernel can cause this.

there was a tool called supermount i've used with 1.0 kernels - i dont know
it works still for 2.0 kernels.
With supermount it was possible to change CDROM's on the fly.

Subject: Re: Diald (and named) problems...
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 06:46:48 GMT
One of your problems is duplicating options in the /etc/ppp/options file
that are forbidden when using diald. From the diald manual page...
pppd-options <arg1> ...
When diald is being used in PPP mode extra commands can be passed on
to pppd by specifying them after a pppd-options command, or after "--" on
the command line. This should not normally be necessary as default
commands can be placed into the /etc/ppp/options file. But, if you
need to run multiple instances of diald with different pppd options, then
you will have to make use of this ability. WARNING: Note that some
pppd commands should not be specified, not even in the /etc/ppp/options
file, because they will interfere with the proper operation of diald. In
particular you should not specify the tty device, the baud rate, nor any
of the options crtscts,
xonxoff, -crtscts, defaultroute, lock, netmask, -detach, modem, local, mtu
and proxyarp. Use the equivalent diald commands to control these pppd
settings.
Take particular note of the second sentence of the WARNING.
Generally speaking, once you get ppp to work manually, save your
/etc/ppp/options file somewhere (like /etc/ppp/options.pppd) and create a
new /etc/ppp/options file. (Mine has only 'asyncmap 0' in it.) Everything
else that was in it, you already have equivalents in your diald.conf.

Subject: NFS problem with static ugid-mapping
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 06:46:49 GMT
Hi,
I have some problems related to static ugid-mapping.
We have RH5.1-based installations with kernel 2.1.131
and unfsd 2.2beta37.
I've been trying to set up an NFS server for a small
development group with the following properties:
On a per project basis
- some users should have read/write access to the files
- some other users should have read-only access to the files
- the rest should be blocked out completely
Sounds a lot like ACLs but since I've not found any ACL
implementations for linux I thought I could get started
trying the following:
- let every project (i.e all files and dirs under its
project-root) be owned on the NFS-server by a
project-specific 'pseudouser'
- let every project belong to the same group (say devel)
- use permissions rw-r----- and rwxr-x--- for files and dirs
- give users read/write access by mapping their uid to the
project owner using a per-project-per-client static map
- give users read-only access by mapping them to the common
devel group using a per-project-per-client static map
I set up a test client to see how things work. Now I have this
rather strange problem of being unable to create any new files.
Although using ls everything looked just perfect, the client was
only able to modify existing files but unable to create new ones.
I checked the NFS requests from the client (executing a simple
'touch foo') and found out that when using ugid-mapping the client
does not even request file creation. Of course if I give the world
full permissions to the directory, the client naturally can create
files and directories.
Has someone had similar problems with static ugid mapping and
perhaps been able to solve them ?

Try cutting your MRU back to say 576. Some ISPs don't handle
the 1500 byte default well. I was having errors until I cut
it down to 542. From my reading, I should be able to push it
up to 576 without problems, just lazy.

I sort of have the same problem with Netcom as aagarcia.
I added the PAP configuration stuff, as recommended by Clifford Kite,
and voila .... it nows works!
Thank you to Clifford Kite for diagnosing the problem
and http://people.unt.edu/~mev0003/PPP-Instructions.html
for PAP info.
If you're interested:
(I went to www.netcom.com for the 'basic' instructions)
1. add to /etc/ppp/options:
name "us,ppp,my_username"
2. create file /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
(in root, grp root, permissions 640)
and add:
"us,ppp,my_usrname" * "my_password"
3. remove from /usr/sbin/chat:
login: us,ppp,my_username
Password: my_password
'PPP session' ''

I am running netbui as the primary protocol on all machines, with tcp/ip as

Hi,

Network not reachable is most of the times caused by a bad configured
routing table, try 'route' or 'route -n' to verify.

Boy, this sounds like an ipfwadm problem. If you setup IP MASQ and port
formwarding but have not setup your ipfwadm commands correctly then MASQ
will not work but port forwarding will. What are the rules your are using?

Which version of BIND are you using? (if you are in fact using BIND).
Check and see if (in v. 4.9.+) there is a line in your named.boot that
looks like:
cache . db.name
or, if using v. 8.1.+, a line in named.conf that looks like:
zone "." {
type "hint";
file "named.ca";
};
If they are there, than your nameserver is trying to contact the
root servers out on the Internet.

You should upgrade to the latest kernel - 2.0.36. The version you're
running is susceptible to a number of problems that have been corrected
in the later kernels. I am not saying that this is what your problem IS,
but there is no sense in trying to troubleshoot and diagnose with this
old kernel version, knowing that it has problems that have been
corrected. If you do the upgrade and you still have problems, then we'd
all be in a much better position to offer you more concrete assistance
(once we got kernel verion out of the way).

It should be internet.seinet.username for you. See also bob
capistrani's comment regarding the chat script.
Be forewarned, you will be charged approximately $9USD/hr as a roaming
charge.

the EtherExpress Pro100b is supported in recent kernels. Only the PCI,
the EISA model isn't supported yet. but it's not a big deal.
I'm not sure what scsi is on that board.
I hope you're not asking if the whole board isn't compatible, I
wouldn't know.
