Oh come off it. This is a bug. Some bugs you can call "features" but
this is definitely a bug.

I know there is such an option. In the absense of a '-i' option the
correct behaviour would be for traceroute not to select an interface.
The current version picks one at random. Actually it's not random -
it is deterministic, but the fact remains that traceroute selecting an
interface when I did not ask it to do so is a bug.

And also for ones that do. It may be more keystokes than "-i eth0"
or "-i ppp0" but it has the advantage that you can simply alias
traceroute to "traceroute -s 0.0.0.0" and not have to worry about it
again.

Subject: DNS and isdn help
Date: Sat, 16 Jan 1999 14:28:04 -0600
I have a 3com impactiq ta (external). I can connect only on one b
channel. If I try a multilink connection I can connect, but I can't
ping a name (ping cnn.com). When only one b channel is operating I can
ping. Even more weird, if I use multilink and then ping it will do
nothing... until I pick up a line (and the dynamic bandwidth function
drops a B channel {one for data one for voice}) it suddenly pings!!!!.
Then as soon as I hang up the line and Multilink re-establishes the
second B channel the pinging stops. Any ideas? I am stumped. When
checking my kernel for isdn support it was of course there. In one of
the help blurbs I saw something about ipppd???? Cant find any other
reference to it.

this sounds similare to my problem, I ran ifconfig, and it showed I was
connected to ppp with an ip address assigned and I can ping any IP address,
but I cant ping a name like www.ibm.com when I could before. I used to be
with Red Hat 5.1, then I totaly reloaded and with 5.2 (on a new HD) and the
name resolve still wont work. I did find that I keep getting a core file
caused by a script in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts when one of the scripts
calls a grep ^[g^] (or somthing like that).
If any one can help please let us know.

I too had the same error after recompiling my kernel; I still do not know the
reason but I could start the network manually by starting the network script:

The Group,
You might try deleting the password file in the windows directory on
the win95 machine. Some times they will conflict and this will allow for a
new password to be entered. Be sure to enter the same user and password as
is being used on the RH box. Good luck. This fixed my problem.

Put in ethernet cards, set them up with IP numbers from the private
space.
Or are you asking if the Linux box can pretend to have another IP
address? Yes, just use IP-aliasing.
Or are you asking if you can run a nameserver of the Linux box? Yes.
Just *what* are you asking?

Why do you think that you want to? The interface name is passed as a
paramter to the "ip-up" and "ip-down" scripts. Why does anything else
care?

Jordy,
Bind 8 uses the /etc/named.conf file with a different format.
You should find a reference to a conversion perl script in the src tree
somewhere. Also the doc directory could contain a html reference guide. If
you can't find it, I have it available at my site
http://www.gmcs.com.au/bindref/config.html (bind 8.1.2)
I did not have to change anything in the zone files when I moved from 4.x
8.x

In that case you appear to have got past the authentication stage.

This means you login twice? That is possible but definitely unusual.
Have you tried going straight to PPP immediately after you get the
modem "CONNECT" message without sending _any_ characters to the annex
first?

It is no different from one where you don't start ppp manually -
execpt, of course, that the chatscript starts ppp.
Check the debug log. Does the other end ask that you should use PAP?

If this address correctly getting assigned to the ppp0 interface? If
not then this would explain your problem.

Yes, this is a much complained about misfeature of RH. I believe it
is switched on by default but can be switched off. I'm not a RH user
but I think you should look in the PPP config tools for an option like
"bugger about with hostname".

The firewall is probably stopping any netbios protocol passage from outside
to the internal network. At least all firewalls I've seen do.
The firewall administrator can usually allow this protocol (udp service 137)
from a single external IP to a single (or all) internal IP. If you are not
sure, talk to your firewall administrator to find out.
You will probably want to use encrypted passwords for the domain login so
users passwords do not travel across the net in plain text.

Read the glibc2 FAQ (it comes with glibc2 and should be installed
somewhere on your system):
3.5. On Linux I've got problems with the declarations in Linux
kernel headers.
{UD,AJ} On Linux, the use of kernel headers is reduced to the minimum.
This gives Linus the ability to change the headers more freely. Also,
user programs are not insulated from changes in the size of kernel
data structures.
For example, the sigset_t type is 32 or 64 bits wide in the kernel.
In glibc it is 1024 bits wide. This guarantees that when the kernel
gets a bigger sigset_t (for POSIX.1e realtime support, say) user
programs will not have to be recompiled. Consult the header files for
more information about the changes.
Therefore you shouldn't include Linux kernel header files directly if
glibc has defined a replacement. Otherwise you might get undefined
results because of type conflicts.
Andreas
P.S. Followup-To is set.

Hey,
I'm trying to connect to an ISP using the annex system, but whenever I

Then it notifies me (tailing /var/log/messages) that it can't get a remote

Can someone out there plz help me to connect to a PAP system, where I have

Subject: AutoPPP and pppd server
Date: 16 Jan 1999 22:11:27 GMT
I've installed Redhat 5.1 for use as a small dialup PPP server. Dialout
PPP works fine, but inbound /AutoPPP/ calls will not stay connected. A
Win95/Win98 caller can connect and log in, but immediately gets the
dreaded "cannot negotiate a set of protocols" message. An OS/2 dialer
gets similar results without the message.
On the dialer side, TCP/IP is the only protocol requested. On the Linux
side, mgetty takes the call and PAP validates the user successfully, but
then the caller drops the session almost immediately. The Linux box is a
standalone, not networked to anything else currently.
/var/logs/messages isn't very revealing even with debug and kdebug 7. How
can I determine what's going on here and why the negotiation fails?
