Red Hat provides ppp as a module. The ppd error message to the effect that
the kernel does not support ppp is a red herring.

If your going to do that....
Probably would not be a bad idea to limit the box to just serving that
feature and maybe some file use. Printing might tie up things just enough to
make you drop connections and such since invariably, you probably will be
using ghostcript and a printer filter. I've done it plus NFS, Netware
emulated server, HTTP (Apache) server, active DNS, and all on a 486DX2/66 -
32 Meg. Ram box. But when you go to print stuff, and save a file to the
server, while online, all at the same time, somewhere along the way, you'll
drop connects. With something that old and crunchy, try to limit it's
functionality if you don't need the other services on that box.

A have some stranger connected to ports of the following services:
discard (9), sunrpc (111), mountd and nfsd
I see the IP of the stranger via netstat. Since I'm not sure wether he
can do any harm or not, I stopped mountd and nfsd.
How can I find out wether my system is vulnerable on these services?
Is there any danger comming from connections to discard and sunrpc
services itself?
I use Debian 2.0
Any response welcome!

The pppd version that you use depends on the kernel version that you are using.
Namely, if you are
using a 2.0.x series kernel you need to use pppd-2.2.x, if you are using a dev kernel
(2.1.x) or
newer (2.2.x will be out soon) you need to use pppd versions 2.3.x.

I put a Linux 5.1 box in at work for a temporary e-mail server. No one could
attach to the box (telnet, ftp, http, nothing worked) until I added their IP
number into the 'hosts' file, then everything worked fine. Was there a better
answer?
Also, a friend asked me for some help with his Linux 5.2 system. His problem
isn't quite the same as mine. Everyone can log in with telnet, ftp, http,
pop3, etc., however his SMTP runs terribly slow. All other network
functionality seems okay. What can I tell him to improve his SMTP response
time?

Subject: ipfwadm-rules
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1999 19:55:01 -0600
I am trying to set up a firewall at the small buisiness that I work at. We
have a 1/4 T1 Line for our connection to the internet. Our default router is
currently a Cisco router. We have a block of class C ip-address's. Two of
thes ip's are registered, one is our web-server (a Windows-NT machine) the
other is our email-server (a linux machine). We have approximately 25
computers in our office most of which are running Winnt,95, or 98.
I do not claim to be a linux gu-ru, however I am trying. What I am trying
to do is set up a firewall, mainly to protect our internal machines. I am
not concerned about anyone on the inside as a threat. I have already set up
another Linux machine with two network cards and have been trying to use
ipfwadm tool. I am working with 2.0.34 Kernel. I recompiled it and have
turned on
CONFIG_FIREWALL=Y
CONFIG_IP_FORWARD=Y
CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL=Y
CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL_CHAINS=Y
CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE=Y
I reset all the IP address in my office to private ones and changed the
default gateways an all them to point the the internal ethernet card and was
able to allow everyone internet access through the firewall using the
following rule.
What this did was make everyone appear as if they were all coming from the
same ip-address the external ethernet card on the firewall.
I then used the following commands taken from the Firewall-HOWTO AT
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/Firewall-HOWTO
# Forward email to your server
ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 0.0.0.0/0 1024:65535 -D 192.1.2.10 25
# Forward email connections to outside email servers
ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 196.1.2.10 25 -D 0.0.0.0/0 1024:65535
#Forward Web connections to your Web Server
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 0.0.0.0/0 1024:65535 -D
196.1.2.11 80
# Forward Web connections to outside Web Server
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 196.1.2.* 80 -D 0.0.0.0/0
1024:65535
This did not work as I expected. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to
move my webserver, and email machine inside the firewall with private
ip-address's and have these forward command's work in such a way as to still
allow tcp packets to pass through the firewall and send them to my email
server if they are destined for port 25, and to send them to my website if
they are destined for port 80. The problem that I see is that once I change
the ip's to privates the registered ip's are no longer visible to the
internet. Thus disabling my website (website no longer can be found) as well
as my email server. Do I have to re-register the ip-address of my webserver
and email server to the public ip address on the firewall? Or do I have to
use a proxy server to achieve this?
Any resources or references to some example rules either for ipfwadm or
ipchains would be greatly appreciated.

For two bucks you only get the CD. For 'two weeks of grocery budget' you get 3
CD's with programs not included in the downloadable distributions plus a 300p

When I was beginning to use Linux I bought the full set of RH 5.0. Now when I'm

Subject: Load balancing router for multiple WWW servers
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1999 10:43:36 -0500
Is it possible to configure a linux router so that
incoming connections to a WWW server IP are "masqueraded"
between multiple servers?
For example the ideal situation would look like this:
INET
|
Linux Router
/ \
ApacheSrv1 ApacheSrv2
As WWW requests come from the INET I would like the router
to randomly select ApacheSrv1 or 2 and then use IP masquerading
to establish the connection.
This could be very useful when you have a site that cannot
be serviced by a single WWW server. While the feature
is a very simple variation of the "masquerade"
feature.

I use as mail processing system Mail with linux.
I would like to specify on command line the Reply-To: field.
Exactly like to specify the Subject: field we use the command line :
mail -s the_subject the_mail_address < the_message_file
Question : what is the command line to do this?
Note : I don't want to have the same value in the From: field and in the
Reply-To field.
Thanks,
Virginie

Well, there are two ways:
- Long one, but lot of things to learn: Read and understand the
Ethernet-Howto and the Kernel-Howto
- Short one, done step by step:
1) become root
2) cd /usr/src/linux
3a) You are in XWindows: type 'make xconfig'
3b) You are on console: type 'make menuconfig' (have ncurses installed )
3c) You have no ncurses: Go to the long way mentioned above
4) Ok, you now can select several kernel options (don't ask or go to long
way:-))
5) Select menu 'Network device support'
6) Mark 'Network device support' with an asteriks (press space...)
7) Mark 'Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)' with an asteriks
8) Mark 'Other ISA Cards' or 'PCI Ethernet cards' depending on your
card's
architecture.
9) Mark 'PCI NE2000 support' or 'NE2000/NE1000 support' resp. with
asteriks.
10) 'Exit' menu, 'Exit' again and say yes to save config
11) If you haven't configured LILO, do so now (see LILO-mini-howto ;-))
12) else type 'make dep;make clean;make zlilo'
After minutes to hours (depending on your CPU type) your prompt will come
back again. Reboot machine and check out if your NIC is detected. Use
'dmesg'
to see the bootup messages...
Cheers
Orlando
