Subject: Problem with RH 5.2 linuxconf and static route
Date: Fri, 08 Jan 1999 12:56:16 GMT
We have a MASQ firewall. The internal IP is: 10.0.0.5 netmask 255.255.224.0
This gets it talking to the local machines.
We have a router at 10.0.0.1 that is the gateway to all of our branches, in
other words all of the subnets except for the one above. So the firewall has
to know how to get to them. If I enter the static route at the command line
or in the rc.firewall script using "route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0
gw 10.0.0.1" I get the desired result of two route entries, one for the whole
10.*.*.* net with a gateway of 10.0.0.1, and one for the local subnet with no
gateway. If, however, I use linuxconf or the static-routes file to put in
the static route, neither 10.*.*.* route is added to the routing table at
boot time? Is this a problem with linuxconf?

I forgot to state that because the Novell LAN is not permanently connected
to the 'Net, mail cannot be sent to the LAN when it hasn't established a
modem connection - so a secondary (permanently connected) mail host will
send mail to the Novell LAN when the Novell LAN queries the secondary mail
host when the Novell LAN dials up to Internet ISP. This way, mail can be
sent addressed to Novell mail host when it is offline - Novell LAN will
retrieve mail when it connects via modem thru ISP.
If Novell LAN is already online, mail directed to it should go directly to
it rather than the secondary (linux) mail host - the secondary mail host is
always online, so if Novell LAN is offline, mail addressed to Novell LAN
should go to the backup (linux) mail host for later retrieval by Novell LAN.
Thanks again

I think it's called IP Aliasing... not ip accounting. You were 'that'
close. ;) You can have up to 255 IP Addresses assigned to a NIC. They
don't need to be in the same subnet either. The syntax is something
like:
ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx for the main address and
ifconfig eth0:0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx for alias 1 and
route add xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx eth0:0
ifconfig eth0:1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx for alias 2
route add xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx eth0:1
etc.
If you run named / bind and you want it to listen on your IP Alias
address, remember to do a 'killall -HUP named' after you add your
IP Aliases in order to get named to listen on the new addresses.

I just had the same problem. If you don't have security problems
with letting root telnet to your Linux host, then add all of the ttyp{n}
device names to /etc/securetty, where n is 0,1,2, etc. Look in /dev to
see how many ttyp{n} devices you have configured since the telnet could
use any one of them.
Having fixed that, I still have a problem with rlogin. It insists
on a password for root, even though the hosts I'm coming from are listed
in /etc/hosts.equiv and /root/.rhosts.
Does anyone know how to fix the rlogin problem?

Connect using kermit and figure out what the prompts are. If you get
PPP junk immediately aftere connect you should wait for connect and then
authenticate using PAP or CHAP. You may find only PAP is supported.
Various annexen and portmasters say "login:" and then "password:" like
your average unix box. Look for ogin: and ssword: and put the
appropiate replies in your chat script. Demon internet and some
annexen decide your response to ogin: and ssword: is OK then say
"protocol:" to which you want to reply ppp.
I got thing going in about 10 minutes once I discovered the protocol
prompt...after spending many hours not getting anywhere. Sadly the
prompts vary a bit so investugate your own ISP's prompts.
My ISP has chanegd for ogin: and ssword: to PAP and back to ogin: and
ssword:.

Hi
Now I have found HylaFAX after some tips from this NG. I don't know if this
is the right NG for this question but I've seen some discussion about
hylafax here so here goes.
I've installed it and I allso installed WHFC on one of my M$ Winblows
clients. I've got it working so that my client can fax by printing the
document and WHFC asks for the faxnumber and the fax is sent to the server,
but and this is the a big BUT, when the server connects with the modem it
dials the number but then nothing, absolutly nothing happens. the modem just
sitts there off the hook. Can somebody please tell me what's the problem or
mayby give me some tips on how to solve this problem.
TIA /Jonas

Using the DHCP daemon would probably suit the situation better. By setting
up the dhcpd on the server with all the relavant IPs and ranges etc. you
can then simply use the dhcpcd (client daemon) on each of the other
workstations.
Look into sockets for communication between machines.

Subject: Linux Samba Domain Controller Server Problem
Date: Thu, 07 Jan 1999 20:41:47 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi. I've got a linux box acting as a samba domain controller.
I can access this samba system using smbclient from the local machine as long
as I use the root account.
I can change the samba passwords for any of the users on this machine.
However, if I try to do anything while logged in as any of those other users,
I get an access denied message.
If I try to log in to this machine using samba from a windows 95 box using
microsoft networking, I get a domain password wrong or access to logon server
has been denied unless I use the root account equivalent.
I'm using a pretty vanilla Samba set up here, mostly what came bundled with
verion 1.9.18r7.
I can SEE the samba shares from anywhere. It's just that I can't seem to log
in.
I have WINS support enabled, as well asa full DNS, and DNS proxy set up to
resolv netbios names seeing as I'm running TCP/IP throughout, but then again,
I've had this problem even before I started using DNS proxy for Netbios name
resolution.
If anyone can give me an smb.conf file that can be used for a domain
controller, that I can play with, that they know works for them, I would
greatly appreciate it.
Barring that, if you can tell me where to look in my smb.conf, I'd be more

If you are using eql, it�s normal that one line goes online and

Yust change the bundling to MPPP and both line are started up with the

I think you have to be at runlevel 3 to be able to shutdown (which then
takes the system to runlevel 0, 1, or 6). Check the man pages for more

I don't know exactly what situation your card isn't working on but I have the
same card on my RH 5.2 system and I can tell you what I did to get it to
work. When I installed the card I used linuxconf to setup the IP address on
the card and the kernel module. I entered in the 3C589 module in the
appropriate space. I believe it happened automatically, but if not, I
manually added an entry in /etc/conf.modules that said just alias eth0 3c589
I don't recall doing anything further.
What happens when you run ifconfig?

Date: 9 Jan 1999 03:42:43 GMT
I reccently added shadow support to my system; kernel 2.0.34; by using a
package called "shadow-ina-box-1.2". Which contains not only the shadow
package but other various programs that needed to be re-compiled for shadow
support; wu-ftpd, qpopper, xlockmore, xdm, sudo, pcnfsd, imap-4, cracklib25,
and bwnfsd.
I noticed that wu-ftpd did not compile correctly. So I downloaded it
separatly and compiled it. It worked fine.
I also noticed that qpopper was not allowing Netscape 4.04 retireive email.
So I downloaded and compiled pop3d+shadow to use instead of qpopper.
Although this allowed netscape to retrieve email. I can not send email. I
get the message "Netscape was unable to save a temporary file".
Does anyone have idea what I should look into next ?

Turn off browse master capability in the clients may help: Under
ControlPanel/Network/File&Print sharing. Say NO to BrowseMaster. (ie
disabled). If they don't have file/print sharing then they're not
browsemaster capable.
If you have any pointed at a WINS server, then this is the browse master.
Without a WINS server, browsing is by lmhosts files, broadcasting, and
browser elections. There is a fallback sequence depending on the nodetype as

Subject: Curious trouble with two node network
Date: 08 Jan 1999 10:27:42 -0500
I posted this earlier with no response. I'll try again.
I have two Linux boxes (one a dual boot) and just purchased two 3c509s
with a hub. I'm having some trouble with the dual boot machine.
The dedicated Linux box has address 10.0.0.1 and the dual boot
10.0.0.2. When 1 pings 2, tcpdump shows messages being sent from 1 to
2, but no response from 2. Ping reports similarly (sometimes, I get a
packet returned, but rarely. So far, it hasn't happened when tcpdump
has been running).
When 2 pings 1, tcpdump shows a normal request and reply pattern, but
ping responds oddly. First, only even numbered requests are shown as
having replies, and their replies have duplicates. Second, the
reported time of the return trip is huge. It's almost as if the whole
packet has been shifted by one bit or something.
This problem is only present when the dual boot (2) is running Linux.
Everything seems to work peachy when Win95 is running. I conclude
that something is screwy with my Linux setup on 2. However, it
doesn't seem to be the kernel -- I tried installing 1's kernel in 2,
as a test. No difference in the symptoms.
Please help!

Good thing..... ok here is the easy step:
cp kernel.2.0.*.tar.gz /usr/src/
uncompress it
tar vxf kernel.2.0.*.tar.gz
cd linux
make menuconfig [ in commandline ] or make xconfig [ in xterm ] or make config
make zImage
make zlilo
You have your self new kernel....
What if you new kernel fail to boot.... what I do is edit lilo.conf add
vmlinuz.old in it too.
