1) You should easily be able to get compilers on a box with 232M of
hard drive space.
2) You would probably appreciate another 8M, though, if you start
compiling kernels on it.
3) No problem with multiple ethx interfaces. I've got both a 10Base-T
and a 100Base-T net connected to my masq box.
4) You can basically fit the whole schmeer on a single floppy if you
like. Check out http://www.linuxrouter.org I put together a floppy
that brings up the ISDN line and masq's all the boxes so I could at
least have Internet if the hard drive on the masq box dies. I can
even sub in any other box if the masq box dies.

It sounds like you have got a lot right, but a bit more persistance on
the self help side would have solved your problem. Do a search on
"Linux and PPTP" via www.lycos.com, which will reveal the source of
the kernel patches that you will need when you recompile your kernel
to include PPTP support. (I don't have the URL to hand so search for
yourself).
There are How-To articles on compling the kernel, which explain the
steps, but you will need C++ development tools (make, gcc etc) which
are optional packages with RedHat Linux.

Subject: Multihomed Network Timeouts
Date: Wed, 6 Jan 1999 11:02:27 -0500
I am setting up a MultiHomed network using RedHat Linux 5.2 I am using
two Kingston cards, one a 21040 the other a 21140, both are using the TULIP
driver. I have one card connected to a localnet and the other the internet.
I am able to get both cards up and running and everything seems fine.
However, if I down the external network (simulated by manually pulling the
link to the internet) my internal traffic to and from the linux box grinds
to a hault. For instance, if I telnet in, it will take forver and finally
connect.
I have a route configured for the internal network a (172.16.0.0) to go
to ethernet 0. I also have a route configured for our assigned internet
addresses and a default gateway going to our internet router.
It appears to me that even though traffic may not be destined for the
external network, linux is trying to talk to that device. The RedHat manual
indicates that if two cards share the same driver you must custom compile
the kernel. However, some of the HowTo's contradict this. Any input would
be appreciated.

Subject: linux as a throttling router ?
Date: Wed, 06 Jan 1999 16:09:22 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I need to test the networkperformance of a client/server application,
specifically the dependence on network latency & bandwith. I plan to do this by
setting up client & server with my Linux box in between as a router. Then I need
a way to simulate levels of network speed, i.e. a configurable throttle on IP
forwarding.
Does anybody know if this has been done before ? Can it be done just by building
a kernel and configuring something in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/... ? (I noticed some
"delay"-parameters there.) Or will I have to do some programming myself ? If so,
where do I start ?
(I guess this really has little to do with alphas, except that one of them
happens to sit inside this Linux box. Can anybody think of an alpha-specific
issue in this context ?)

I have a Linux box up and running Red Hat 5.2 (Apollo) Kernel 2.0.36 It
allows a POP client (such as Eudora) to retrieve mail but will not deliver
any internet mail other than the accounts that reside on the box itself.
(this is only true when using some email client) Everything works great if
you are logged into the box and running Pine in a telnet session.
How do I enable SMTP for outgoing mail??? This is a critical issue for us
and needs to be resolved ASAP.
Please respond to my private email.

This is true, but probably irrelevant. The original poster could have
all sorts of reasons for needing two DNS servers. Perhaps they
want/need split DNS to hide their internal names from the outside or
vice versa? Perhaps they want no zone transfers for mydomain.com to
succeed on the non-authoritative server? Perhaps they have something
which depends on getting non-authoritative answers from the DNS. (It's
unlikely, but we don't know...)
The original poster didn't give enough information - as you rightly
pointed out - but this does not necessarily mean their initial
assumption or requirement was wrong. Judging by the questions that
were asked, it may well turn out that the original poster has a
misconception, but this cannot be assumed.
> > But i don't want to be authoritative for mydomain.com.
>
> Why? Surely this would be the simplest solution.
It could be also the wrong solution. Maybe this non-authoritative
server has to answer for the external mydomain.com, not the private
internal one? We don't know for sure and so you shouldn't be jumping
to conclusions based on the sketchy information that's been posted
here.

You could try reading the ENCRYPTION.txt that comes with samba, but
i'll save you the problem and tell you from memory what's needed to
get samba to run. For the details you should read the above text.
First you got to make a smbpasswd file from the password file from
your linux box. There's a script which does that, and it's included
with samba.
You can then change the samba passwords for each user by using the
smbpasswd command. You have to do this since the first time you make
the smbpasswd file there are no passwords in it. The first script
only generates a list of users accounts.
In the smb.conf file you should add a line so samba knows you're using
encrypted passwords.
it's something like
encrypted passwords = yes (see the manual for correct syntax)
You also have to set up some shares. You can do that by removing the
# from within the example conf.
Restart samba.
Finally log into your windows system using the same password and
username as which resides in the smbpasswd file.
You should now be able to browse your linux.

Is there any way to use the same password file over multiple linux machines.
In my situation, I want to split mail services from one server and move it to
another. I know that you can use NIS, but would rather not for security
reasons. It would be nice if the mail server could have it's own password
file appended to the changing main one.

Named doesn't use /etc/hosts.

Sendmail uses DNS for several things which you might not expect:
(1) Resolving the local hostname to an address.
(2) Resolving the addresses of all your network interfaces to hostnames.
(3) Canonifying mail domains (the part after @).
For (1) and (2), just make sure that your hostname and your interfaces are
in /etc/hosts where sendmail runs. For (3), set "FEATURE(nocanonify)"
in sendmail.mc if you use it, or disable the address rewrite rules that
use $[ ... $] in sendmail.cf.
Hope this helps. Vincent.

Also another small (sorry not networking) problem. I can't get my cdrom to
work. Using fstool when I try and mount it I get a message saying no
/dev/hdc in mtab or fstab ? My fstab has /dev/cdrom .
If I add /dev/hdc with /mnt/cdrom I gat an error saying: fs type iso9660 not
supported by kernel.
Thanks again in advance for your help.

Subject: DNS: How to serve two domains ?
Date: Wed, 06 Jan 1999 18:11:47 +0100
Hi all,
would it be possible serve two domains by one NS ?
E.g. mydomain.com + mydomain.net
which shall result in e.g.
host.mydomain.com =3D host.mydomain.net =3D 1.2.3.4
How to configure DNS that way ?
Thanks for any help !

I'm no expert on what ipfwadm will and wont allow, but I prefer using
192.168.0.1/24 to specify the IP addresses, and you *might* want to
add /0 to those -D addresses, otherwise I think it only forwards
traffic bound for that specific (and invalid) IP address, rather than
anywhere.

Subject: RPC: Port mapper failure
Date: 6 Jan 1999 17:11:56 +0100
I have two hosts on different networks. Both have working internet
connections. But when I want to mount a nfs volume from host1 on
host2 or vice versa, I get the following error:
mount clntudp_create: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to receive
I can however
showmount -e host2
from host3, which is in the same network as host2.
showmount -e host2
from host1 again gives me
mount clntudp_create: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to receive
showmount -e host1
on host1 gives me the export list.
Where can I search for the error?
Thanks a lot!

Subject: help with mail-forwarding
Hi to anyone who might be able to help...
I'm running sendmail 8.8 on Linux, and I need to set up mail-forwarding
so that a customer running <euch> MS Exchange Server can use get their
mail through SMTP on a dial-up. All the other accounts use POP3 or IMAP
through Cyrus.
I've established that it requires a static IP and their own domain name,
and that I need to set the MX in their host file for DNS (done).
Hoewever I'm lost as to where to set the more 'costly' MX - what I have
attempted seems to end up with mail looping back.
Could someone please clarify just what needs setting to achieve
mail-forwarding for SMTP?
FYI, the .host file for the zone looks (somewhat) like this atm:
;
@ IN SOA main.mydomain.co.uk.
hostmaster.mydomain.cpd.co.uk. (
1999010604
7200
1800
3600000
86400 )
IN NS dns1.mydomain.co.uk.
IN NS dns2.mydomain.co.uk.
IN MX 5 exchange
IN MX 10 smtp
;
exchange IN A 1.2.3.101
www IN A 1.2.3.201
ftp IN CNAME www
mail IN CNAME www
smtp IN CNAME smtp.mydomain.co.uk.
pop3 IN CNAME www
imap IN CNAME www
