Samba can do everything you need. It does not do login scripts the way that
Novell does, so you might have to battle a little while you get used to the
NT style of scripting. It can do encrypted password login and on my Win95/98
boxes, after assigning a users 'home' shared directory, automatically stored
the profile of the machine I use.
I used this release of samba (samba-1.9.18p8-50.1) which is available for
anonymous ftp from my ftp://ftp.gmcs.com.au/pub/linux/sources/ server as a
Redhat rpm file.

Subject: Re: How to Determine if ifwadm is installed?
Date: Tue, 5 Jan 1999 18:14:08 +1000
RedHat has a locate command that searches a database of file names. You will
need to leave your machine on overnight to get the automatic database update
though. There is a command that will manually do the update (look in
/etc/cron.daily/updatedb.cron or just run this script). type 'locate ifwadm'
and it will tell you. If it says the database is too old (or similar) then
you can either update it (see above) or use 'find / -name ifwadm' which will
search all the directories on your machine and report occurrences.
Once you have found the file, you can find out which 'package' it belongs to
by using rpm.
'rpm -qf /dirname/ifwadm'
will tell you the rpm name that the file belongs to.

I have a lab of PowerMacs in a student lab here at Curitn University connecting
to a departmental Linux server via netatalk. The macs turn themselves on each
morning at 5am and load the original hard disk image from the Linux box.
This process is done via a package called netatalk available from
http://thehamptons.com/anders/netatalk and installed under Linux.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am preparing a linux (RH 5.2) box to use as an edge device at a new
IPX. Basically just a router. It will be handling a great deal of
voice over IP traffic. Unfortunately V/IP traffic averages between 23
and 53 bytes. Very small. Which means the box may need to handle over
and above 20,000 packets per second.
I am building the machine as a p2 400 128 Mb ram. Any idea what kind of
traffic the latest kernel will support? The ether cards on both sides
will be 3com 10/100. It will be routing traffic across a microwave link
to an Ascend Max 6k series box. I know the Ascend box can handle
it....but can Linux?
If a reconfiguration of the kernel is in order - what would help
maximize small packet throughput?
TIA.

Hi all, I hope someone can help me here.
I have 2 computers at home one running Redhat 5.2, for me,
and one running Win95 for the rest of the family. I have
recently bought 2 3C509B cards and a mini hub to network the
computers together.
The cards installed fine and I can load the Linux module and
win95 reckons the card is working. The lights on the cards are
both lit and on the hub the link light is lit but I cannot ping
from either end.
The linux end is setup as 172.27.1.1 and the win95 end as 172.27.1.3.
ifconfig reports
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5A:BE:07:EF
inet addr:172.27.1.1 Bcast:172.27.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0

127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 3584 0 0 lo
the arp table never fills up and even if I manually set an arp entry the
pings are never received back.
The hub shows the Rx light blinking when I ping but nothing is ever received.
I have tried a straight though cable and observed exactly the same.
The 3Com NIC Doctor on win95 passes the card on the network and NIC tests
but still no pings are received back although the Nic doctor's statistics
shows that packets are being sent and received.
Has anyone any idea what is going on.
Paul.

You are wrong,
resolv.conf is in /etc

rc.inet1/2 but inet
these names (rc.inet1 and rc.inet2) are from slackware!

Are you testing this as root or as a user? If you are doing it as a regular
user then su to root and try running it again. If that is the case then you
would need to connect as root or set UID root on the binary.

Do you have a WINS running anywhere? If yes, the quick fix is point
your WINS setting in Dial-Up Networking to it. Otherwise, you will
need to add PDC Windows Name to IP mappings in "LMHOSTS.SAM"
file (Found in \Windows directory). You should set up WINS if you
run TCP/IP as your LAN protocol, it really avoids a lot of weird
problems in those @#$@# MS Browser Master/Delegation crap.

Try look for kermit on the redhat site. As far as I remember there is
an SRPMS file which contians the compile and patch files, but not the
tar.gz file, which you need to get separately from Columbia University.
(License restriction). The problem is that you should NOT #include
anything from /usr/inlcude/linux. This is a thing of the past.

Hi,
we have a linux firewall (SuSE 5.3). Masquerading is activated.
i have 20 files (eyery ca. 6 KB) and created a file called ftp.txt with
following content:
open <target_ip_address>
user <user> <password>
prompt
mput dat*
and then i run the follwing command
ftp -v -n < ftp.txt
on three computers:
1. firewall: the file transfer works without any problem
2. a sun behind the firewall: the file transfer works without any
problem
1. a linux (SuSE 5.3) behind the firewall: after transfer of some files
(6 or 7) it hangs up and after about 10 minutes it returns following
errors:
...
125 Storing data set BSK80.DAT04
250 Transfer completed successfully.
396 bytes sent in 0.00356 secs (1.1e+02 Kbytes/sec)

I have reproduced the case with a new installed linux computer too and
therefore i think it must be a linux specific problem.
My question is:
When it is a firewalling or masquerading problem, why it works with the
sun machine behind the firewall and only the linux hangs up?
I'll be very grateful for any help.

You are right and wrong. There is no such driver -- yet. However,
Peter De Schrivjer is developing a driver for the IBM PCI Token-Ring
family of adapters (all the way up to the High-Speed 100/16/4).
Paul Norton is working on the LANStreamer PCI, which is a different
beast altogether. Also, Paul has been working on getting native
support for the "Turbo ISA/PC Card" models (enhanced microcode mode,
better I/O range support, shallow mode receive, fast path transmit)
into the existing "Tropic" chipset driver (ibmtr.c).

Eww. Hopefully not forever. :)

Are you running Windows on the clients? Windows will continually send
out packets of the type netbios-ns (I think port 139) to see if there
are any other windows hosts on the net. Set your diald filter to
igonore packets of udp and tcp on ports 137 138 and 139.

Date: Tue, 05 Jan 1999 18:34:54 GMT
The same thing happens with an NT RAS server and it is caused by MS's
Netbios implentation (which is used even when IP is the only network
protocol - Netbios over TCP/IP).
Try looking at the notes on www.winfiles.com which has some how to
articles. e.g.
http://www.winfiles.com/howto/peercon.html

Subject: Re: smbmount 2.0.0beta5 and linux 2.2.0pre4
Date: 5 Jan 1999 09:33:15 GMT
i've been having trouble with my win95 shares dying on my linux
machine. i use smbmount from samba 2.0.0beta5 to mount 3 shares from
a win95 machine. the mounts will work as long as i access them
frequently (at least a couple times an hour), but as soon as i leave
them inactive for maybe over an hour, the mounts stop responding and
start giving IO errors hhen i try to access them.
i then have to umount the mount points, kill the smbmounts that hang
around, and remount the shares. then they work again.
i'm using the 2.2.0pre4 kernel, but i've been witnessing this behavior
since i first started running developmental kernels beginning with
1.1.128.
using smbfs and linux 2.0.x, this all used to work.
is this a kernel issue or a samba issue, and does anyone have any
solutions? i have been able to get them to stay by having cron do a
`df' every 20 minutes. accessing the shares like that makes them
stay.
thanks.
