Hi there,
I am a new user of Linux too, but I do not think you are approaching the
problem correctly. I suggest you consult your basic Linux howto files
available at www.linux.org or any other Linux source that can be found
almost anywhere on the net. These howto's are easily downloaded and
understood, and should provide you with enough information concerning the
topics you need info about.
Regards,
J.A Nothling

The reason are "encrypted" passwords in Windows98 an NT 4 SerPack3. There is
a readme in the samba-directory with two work arounds (encrypted passwords =
yes in the smb.conf or a change inthe windows regitry)

Subject: Can't download file using ftp thru a browser
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 06:45:49 GMT
Good Afternoon!!
I have successfully created a firewall in our Linux Server. I can
now browse the internet and send/
receive e-mail. I can also do ftp. However, when I tried to download a
file from an ftp site using a
browser, it doesn't work. If I use an ftp client such as WSFTP from a
Windows 95 client, I can
connect to the firewall and thru it download the file. I checked the
settings of ftp in the browser and
it's correct. I don't why this happens. Does SOCKS have something to do
with it? If so, how can I
set it since I am using TIS Firewall Toolkit and there's nothing about
SOCKS? ANy help would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Compaq NetFlex uses a Ti ThunderLan chip. You may have to recompile

Subject: Re: Modem choice for Linux
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 06:46:16 GMT
I think the main creteria is wether You can access all modem functions
using at-commands and no special protocolls that come with a windows
software but are not documented. I recently bought an ELSA microlinc
office-modem (german product, so I don't think you might get it) wich comes
with an offline fax- and voice-memory. As everything can be done by special
at-commands I succeeded in configurering it and making it work with hylafax
(a free linux-faxserver) by adding some scripts for the offline download
(in case anybody should ever need them too, mail me before inventing
another wheel). I didn't try the voice functions but there is software for
that too.
So I think there's no reason to do without fax/voice just check weather it
works with at-commands on every function and it will do with linux. In case
you have no acces to win-machines you should check weather there is a
documented way of updating the flash memory (if there is some) without
using the supplied win-software.

I run the following:
Gigabyte: Dual 350 PII UW
Exactly the same HDD
512MB SDRAM
NE2000 Compat
It supports 150 virtual web sites which all run mhtml cgi engine and it
serves over 3.5GIG a month in traffic and I think I could probably fit
another 50 sites on there and it will still serve the pages faster than
most.
Your spec will do just fine. The only thing I would suggest is more
memory but that really depends on the load. Simply the more memory you
have the more pages are kept in it and hence a reduction in load time,
this is especially true of cgi stuff.
I work on a principal of 256MEG per 64K worth of link that's devoted to
web serving but that only really applies to intensive cgi.

Greetings-
I've been looking all over for a solution to a problem that I'm
having, and just can't find one.
Here is the situation. On a public access machine, I want to
make sure that the user bill can only login from *.foo.com.
This way, if bill tries to login from *.bar.com he will get
denied.
Use TCP wrappers you say :). I can't.. the user joe needs
to be able to login from anywhere in the world, including
*.bar.com. I don't want to close off access to the machine,
I just need to make sure bill can only login from *.foo.com.
Whatever the solution is, it needs to work on a per user basis.
Does anyone have some suggestions on how I might implement
this?
Thanks,
Brent

Your server has a /etc/resolv.conf file does not indicate a DNS server
that has valid "IN PTR" records for the IP addresses of the machines
which are trying to connect to it.

Yes, but on connection they resolve the caller's IP into a name, or
attempt to do so, before allowing it.

Whilst not quite identical to the most asked question in this group
it's sufficiently close that you should have spotted the answer. The
"making connections is slow" question has been asked and answered
several times a week (often several times a day) for the last two or
three years.
15 seconds? Usually several minuites. Anyhow is almost certainly a
DNS config problem. Most people see several minuites because all the
entries in their resolv.conf are bogus. In your case only some are.
If none are bogus then your first choice DNS server really is
down. You must put up with the delay or run a caching-only DNS daemon
locally. Or alternatively get your net admin to install a better
last-hop router on the path to the downed server. A really good
router can learn that a host is down and return "host unreachable"
immediately. (AFAIK Linux 2.0 is not a "really good router" by this
test. 2.1 is).
Alernative explaination is network congestion - but this would not be
expected to produce such systematic results.

What am I doing wrong? My 3c905b isn't being recognized by the old
drivers.
The new driver should work but I can't get it to compile. The old
versions compile
fine. The 11/17/98 version craps out with a parse error on a line using
ioremap
in a define (line 84) when I make zlilo. The gcc is 2.7.something which
should be fine.
This is Caldera's OpenLinux 1.2 (kernel 2.0.33) on a PII 400. I have to
use the new
driver as it is the only one that has 9055 defined. Is there a faq for
this driver?
Please help. I'm at my wit's end and I don't want to bother Don Becker
with this (yet)
as I'm certain that it's something stupid I've overlooked. Help!!
Thanks, Beeb
P.S.
Here's the code segment (hope I'm not violating any copyrights or
