Hello,
I would like to know how much progress is being made with the IPv6
protocol. Are there yet companies using it? Is it already being deployed
by (major) ISPs?
Maybe somebody has an URL for IPv6 related news?
Grtz,

I have an almost identical problem - I have Samba set up to authenticate
passwords from a Win95 OSR2 machine, but the only user it'll let log on is
"root" - not an ideal situation... :-) I've already turned off encrypted
passwords and tried running "smbpasswd -a user1" as root, where user1 is a
user account that already exists on the Linux box, but no joy so far. Anyone
got any good ideas? I've already thought of turning off Samba-based password
authentication, thanks...
Oh, and x applications refuse to run on my VNC X-server, but that's another
story.

Subject: port forwarding on localhost
Date: Fri, 15 Jan 1999 19:27:13 GMT
i have an ftp server running on a masq'd network... since the ftp server
does not have an externally addressable ip, i forward a port it.
however, i'd like to still be able to ftp to the standard port from
within the network... i've set up inetd to fire up two different ftp
daemons, one listening on each port, but there's got to be a better
way... i'd like to be able to forward the external port to the internal
machine's port 21... i want to do something like this:
ipautofw -A -r [tcp, udp] 127.0.0.1:921 -h 127.0.0.1:21
but that isn't the way ipautofw works. is there some way of forwarding
localhost:921 to localhost:21 ?

Masquerading as 2 different IPs
I have setup a firewall between our internal net (10.x.x.x,eth1) and the
outside world via
an ethernet connection using masquerading, no problem. My real internet
address is
208.x.x.x (eth0). I need to dial into corporate via a PPP connection.
I make the PPP
connection and get my PPP IP address, 199.1.x.x (ppp0) and their IP
address
(199.2.x.x) from them just fine just fine but when I ping any thing
inside their firewall, I
don't get any thing in return. Baffled I tried "tcpdump -i ppp0". Much
to my surprise, I
found that my packets had the 208.x.x.x address on them not 199.1.x.x.
Since I already have
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 10.x.x.x -D 0.0.0.0
# for the full internet, which masquerades as 208.x.x.x
I think what I need is
ipfwadm -F -a m AS 199.1.x.x -S 10.x.x.x -D 199.2.x.x
but to the best of my knowledge this functionality ( AS 199.1.x.x)
does not exist.
Is there a flag in pppd to cause masquerading? A route(ing) change?
or any thing else? Does ipchains handle this?

Subject: Sending a file to a remote machine's port
Date: Sat, 16 Jan 1999 02:34:51 +0800
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The short question is :
How would I send a file to a port on a remote machine from a script file
?
I'm looking for something very similar to
telnet www.iinet.net.au 80 < thefile
However, that doesn't seem to work because I think that the contents of
thefile are being used before telnet actually connects fully to the
remote port.
I've tried doing it manually with "telnet www.iinet.net.au 80", and then
waiting for the "Connected......." and "Escape character is ......", and
then typing the contents of the file, and it works great.
So, what's my problem ?
Is there any way to invoke telnet, but to wait for the "Escape character
is..." string before using thefile ? Or is there another command
similar to telnet which waits until it's connected before using standard
in ?
For those interested, here's why I'm doing this.
I want to automatically post a form to a certain web site whenever I
receive an email. So, I want in my .procmailrc file to call a script
file, which strips off the mail headers, and sends them as the form
data.
I tried using lynx with the post_data option, but it seems to add its
own headers, which I don't want.
So, will I have to write a "C" program which uses sockets, or is there
another program or use of standard in/out which can solve my problem ?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.
Chris Severn.

Hopefully you have syslog enabled and logging your mail transactions.
Try looking at the mail.log (or similar file) to see if the problem is
in the mail program itself and not the forwarding firewall.

Put the cdrom in /etc/fstab:
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,unhide
then: mkdir /cdrom
then all you have to do is:
'mount /cdrom' and 'umount /cdrom'
Nothing hard about that.
you can even write a little script for each one of these if that's
too much typing for you. Name 'em cdin and cdout or even ci and co
or just m and u.
then all you would have to do is type m to mount and u to umount.
That's less keystrokes than is needed to access the cdrom under dos.
Use your imagination.

It's not. There is just a larger learning curve for Linux, but once you get
the hang of it, it's a lot nicer to use than winnders.
You can do damned near anything you want in Linux, it's just a matter of
knowing the OS.

Subject: Fetchmail Stops Fetching: Why?
Date: 14 Jan 1999 21:48:54 GMT
I'm running Fetchmail 4.3.9 on a Debian 2.0.2 system (2.0.36
kernel). I have it running in daemon mode polling every 15 minutes
(set daemon 900 in my .fetchmailrc file). It's started by root at
system startup time.
Fetchmail runs fine for a few days, and then stops. The fetchmail
process is still there, but it never fetches any more mail. It won't
fetch any more mail even if I wake it up by running 'fetchmail' on the
command line.
If I kill it (fetchmail --quit) and restart it, it will immediately
fetch a bunch of waiting mail. It will then continue to work for a few
more days and then stop working again.
Has anyone seen this problem? Is there a fix?

Check the scripts that start up the networking. If it's redhat, look
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts; otherwise probably in /etc/rc.d/init.d
or something like that. This one sounds weird; it may be a symptom of a
wider problem.

Make sure you use "export TERM=vt100" (assuming you're using the default
bash shell) or "setenv TERM vt100" (if you've changed it to C shell) before
starting vi - failure to export it means that it will be known to your
shell but might not be passed on to vi or to any other program you start.
Also remember it's "vt100" not "VT100".
Make sure you're actually using a vt100 emulator (xterm, rxvt, or a good
Windows based terminal program suitably configured). Not much point
telling the far end to talk vt100 codes if your end doesn't.
If you still can't get it going, the keys h, j, k, and l may be usable as
cursor keys when not in insert or replace modes.
If even that doesn't work (as it seems from your line deletion problem)
vi will have fallen back to line editor (ex) mode. Read the manpages
for ex and ed.

I'd disable the ftp server on the firewall (along with every other unneeded
service, especially sendmail), as it's one more potential source of
security holes. Log in, become root, and use the ftp *client* on the
firewall box to move files in and out.
Watch for people (or trojans) on the internal net sniffing for root
passwords, though.
I'm not a security or firewall expert - I recommend finding out as much as
possible about the subjects before trusting any of the above to improve
security.

The relation between CPU and memory is somewhat odd - on plain file

Depends on the database size and layout and access methods. As the
database can easily be moved at any time, I'd recommend starting out
with a single box and moving the database if the load should get
critical.

I installed samba and (I guess this makes sence) it helps keep the
connection alive or at least makes it last longer. But still intimitantly
stops. When things are working I see via TCPDUMP things like arp who-has
192.168.0.3 (my win98box) tell 192.168.0.1
arp reply 192.168.0.3 is at
0:40:f6:d4:28:6d
So I guess ARP is working correctly.
I am really beginning to put my suspicion to the network driver for the
hydra card. But I would of expected a patch by now...but when linux boots
and it finds my card it says hydra driver v2.1 BETA.... but its been the
same version almost ever since Linux was ported.

You only need these if you want to share data. In this situation he's
just trying to ping the box, which any machine with the TCP/IP stack
should be able to do. If you can't ping you've got network issues.
I'd start on the linux box since your other machines seem to be fine.
I can't help much on the config for linux as I'm a Solaris guy but
there are files like /etc/defaultrouter that need to exist and have
the IP of the default router. /etc/resolv.conf needs the IP of the
nameserver if using DNS and /etc/hosts for host mapping IP's. They
may not be the same files under linux but it needs the equivalent.

I just recently bought one sf those $15.00 lan cards. It works fine cuz
windoze95 recognized it. Unfortunately I don't have the slightest idea
how to getit to work on linux.
The disk that came with it has a directory for linux with the source
code to build a module for the driver. Unfortunately, the makefile that
came with it is so different than the makefile that is on my system,
that I have no idea how to make it.
I am running slackware 3.5 that came on the cd-rom with all the packages
installed.
I suppose what I'm hoping somebody can help me with is one of three
things:
1. How do I manually change the makefile in my
/usr/src/linux/modules/net directory to handle the c-file that came with
the card
or
2. How the makefile in the /usr/src/linux/modules/net directory works
so I can hack it myselfe
or
3. Somebody send me the binary for the module for the d-link card.
I have the source that came with the card available if needed.
Aly help at all (and I do mean at all) would be greatly appreciated. If
this is covered in a FAQ somewhere, please don't flame me, I looked and
didn't find anything.

Date: Thu, 14 Jan 1999 22:07:35 GMT
I recently setup a filtering firewall. I added accounting rules for each
host on the network so I could watch how much bandwidth each was using.
I added the accounting rules like this:
ipfwadm -A -f
ipfwadm -A in -i -S 0.0.0.0/0 -D hostname
ipfwadm -A out -i -S hostname -D 0.0.0.0/0
etc. for each host.
I left it running over the weekend. This morning, ipfwadm -A -l tells
me...
5566 488K out all hostname anywhere n/a
6518K 3889M in all anywhere hostname n/a
3.89 gigs? I'm sure that couldn't have gone out over the weekend. No one
was even using that computer. Other computers have similar crazy entries.
The output of ipfwadm -F -l -e seems more normal:
1891K 288M acc all -k-- 0xFF 0x00 any any anywhere anywhere
288 megs sounds more like the right total for all hosts. So does anyone
know how ipfwadm -A -l could report 3.89 gigs transferred?

Sadly the 2.0.36 chnages to 3c509.c seem to totally break actually
detecting one of these cards. RH 5.2 uses 2.0.36 and does not detect
these cards.
RH deserves special priase for either missing a depency on mount or
creating rc.sysinit capable of toally breaking some systems. Removing a
couple of mount commands and changing the last one fixed it...however
I could have donee without that making my day.
I have posted detials opf a case including the H/w address. Hopefully
someone will get back to me or a newsgroup with a fix. 2.0.32
works. Hopefully 2.2.0 will have the fix applied as well.

You probably just want to boot in DOS and run the 3c5x9cfg utility here you
should be able to change the IRQ
and test the card. Also you can disable PnP.
Good Luck

Subject: mars_nwe users vs. Linux users
Date: Thu, 14 Jan 1999 22:07:23 GMT
mars_nwe 0.99.pl13
rh linux 5.1/2.0.35
I'd like to manage all access for the mars server using SYSCON rather than
having the added complexity of Linux rights (limitations in this case). This
is a problem because even in a shared directory, if one user creates a file,
others can't delete/modify it because the person creating the file owns it
(as Linux sees it). That's a problem when I assign several users to a mars
group that *SHOULD* have r/w access to all files in a directory, but in
practice do not because owner rights prevent other users from exercising
those rights. I guess I was under the mistaken impression that mars_nwe
performed all operations under the nw-adm user to prevent this problem. I can
think of two ways to do this - perhaps someone can point out potential
problems/other solutions:
1) Map all (mars) users to a single Linux user (I don't know exactly how to
do this for existing users, but I think it can be done for new users in
section 13 of nwserv.conf). Do they all have to have the password to the
mapped user (Linux side)? If so, that's not going to work.
2) Simply give generous permissions on the volume (777 file and directories).
This assumes that mars_nwe will perform its own sercuity by limiting access
based on trustee rights rather than Linux rights. Have not tested it yet.

Yan,
I have had great luck with "pseudo" DynDNS, just another perl hack
actually.
You can find the details and get the 40 some odd line script at:
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/2060/dhcp2dns/
Assuming you have DHCP and DNS set up and actually know how they work,
it takes five minutes to set-up.
