I am not sure exactly about this one......but I believe when one is

Subject: 2.2.0-pre7, ppp, telnet
Date: 18 Jan 1999 17:29:09 -0500
Hi all,
I am almost completely successfully using the 2.2.0-pre7 kernel. The
one problem left is one that seems more like a networking issue than a
kernel issue, though. Before I describe it, let me say that I am
using Debian 2.0.2, with a few later packages. All software versions
specified by the kernel upgrade notes are in place.
I make a successful ppp connection with slirp over a telnet connection
from an intermediate machine (local call). This connection works
perfectly well for ftp. It also works perfectly well for telnet _when
I specify port 23_ -- otherwise I get nowhere at one site, or as far
as a login prompt at another. I can also telnet successfully to port
25. Lynx and netscape get as far as waiting for data from a remote
site. Ping doesn't get any packets through, but works fine to
localhost. The output of route and ifconfig look fine to me.
FWIW, everything still works fine when I boot my 2.0.34 kernel. I
know that slirp might not be happy running over a telnet connection.
It strikes me that something in /proc/sys/net/ipv4 might need
changing.
Any ideas? Many thanks in advance,
Ben

This is more tricky. to really handle all that you got to dig into
sendmail. The bat book gives you all the details and more, but essentially
you have to extend the range of domains your box accepts by using the
sendmail.cw file. Of course mail should be routed to your box first.

I am trying to write a communications program with a TCP-enabled piece
of equipment, but I'm running into some problems.
1) It seems that the MSG_WAITALL flag is not defined in
/usr/include/linux/socket.h. Is this flag not supported under
Linux? I'm running kernel 2.0.34, but would be happy to upgrade (even
to a 2.1.x) if I can use this. If this is not (and won't be) supported,
is there any reason I can't wrap several recv() calls if I know how much
data will be returned?
2) In trying to emulate the MSG_WAITALL flag, I have a function that
loops on recv() calls until at least most of the message (9800 out of
10000 bytes) has arrived. After about 3 calls to recv(), I get rc = -1,
and strerror(errno) gives me "Error: Bad Address". I can't find this
on the man page, and I would like to get around it.
Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Even if you find, write, or acquire unix-like tools for Windows --
they are only useful in command mode (MS-DOS command emulation),
batch files, or as arguments to the Start->Run command, or
custom definitions for user-defined shortcut links.
Another significant downfall for Windows (Graphical Interface) is
the lack of support for "pipe" operations. I have seen some unix
X-client
programs that allow you to configure a chain of program execution by
linking visual icons representing sequences of program execution,
allowing the standard output of one program to be treated as input to
the next program. In Microsoft Windows, I have not seen this capability.
Also the MS-DOSes emulated with Windows fall severly short of the
general capabilies of most unix shell programs. The various shell
programs on unix can be selectively launched by command files if
the "#!/program-path" context is entered as the first line of the
executable file.
A significant amount of work is required to configure a Windows
computer -- and as a student, you are often sharing computers, and
not necessarily able to consistently use the one you customized.

Date: Mon, 18 Jan 1999 22:15:12 -0500
Hi Folks,
My organisation has a couple unix/linux servers
accessing the internet using Instant Internet. Our
Network is a Novell 3.12 100 user LAN. My users
access internet e mail to and from the server via
Eudora. Recently users indicated they were not
receiving e mail, I checked and found the
server/linux box giving the network unreachable
error msg. The card is a novell anthem nic. I
changed it for a good card and see that the
connection is a good one as the light on the hub
is green. The system boots up but hangs after the
memory test is complete (486 DEC system).
Apologies for the length of this msg. Question -
was the IP address embedded/burned into the old
card ? Why is the system not seeming to recognise
the new card ? How do I tell the system to assign
the IP address of the server to the new card or am
I totally barking up the wrong tree ??
Any suggestions/ideas would be greatly
appreciated.
Pls respond if possible to me at

This sounds similar to a problem I had when I first starting using
NFS. Are you mounting a file system, eg. /usr, and then separately
mounting directories from under /usr, eg. /usr/local?
That's what I was trying to do and in my stupidity I had created mount
points along the lines of /mnt/nfs/usr then /mnt/nfs/usr/local. This
didn't work strangely enough. <doh>
If this is what you're trying to do then the trick was of course to
keep the mount points well separated.

uh, /etc/ is the configuration directory. in older unices, /etc/ was
indeed a dumping ground (random config files, binaries, shell scripts, etc
all stuck into there), but it's since been cleaned up considerably. /etc/
holds config files, and usually the startup scripts as well (though some
systems (debian's only one i know of) put then in /sbin/).

huh? well, which are you refering to, X, the kernel, or a daemon? they're
all seperate things. exactly which file did you rename? if it's X (the X
server binary) then you simply didn't have it configured properly. the
config *should* have been run during install (it always is for me), but you
can run it afterwards yourself via Xconfigurator or xf86config.

Actually, no, I don't think that that's a dangerous inconsistency.
I don't think it's a significant virtue that even if a passwd entry has no
password listed, you might not be able to log in anyway. Why is this
interesting? Why create the passwd entry with no password if not to permit
passwordless logins? If you are adding the passwd line and you don't intend
it to be loginable, put something not of length 13 in the password field
(e.g. "*").
And with the empty password, the next time you type "pwconv" it's going to
create you the shadow entry anyway, so you'll start being able to log in too.
And to the point, the "crackers" MEANT that line to allow passwordless logins.
It's not like the software is performing contrary to the intentions of those
configuring it.

My Isp has recently installed a broadband internet service, this works great
from win9x but ?? how to get Linux to see the connection & log in?? What I
really want to do is use Linux as the router / firewall / masq server &
acess the net via it from anywhaere on the lan. Should not be a huge problem
using a modem, but how does one discover & attatch to a dynamic addressing
scheme via a NIC ?? I am sure that this is possible but most of the doc's
that I read assume that either the connection is via a modem or via a fixed
ip address & leased line, whereas my situation is somewhere in the middle.
If anyone has ideas / experience in this area pls do contact me,

I don't know who wrote what so I just left it all. :)
Samba is installed on only the Unix side. This can either be Solaris,
Linux, or something else. Samba makes the Unix machine appear to your
Windows machine as just another Windows machine.
After getting it set up, you can see your Linux files and directories
and you can share your Windows files and directories with the Linux
side. You can also share drives, printers, etc.

Subject: Long pauses on bootup/reboot.
Seems like RH 5.1 keeps stopping for several minutes every time it tries
to start 'amd', 'sendmail', and 'smb' (if there are more, I haven't been
patient enough to reach them). Can anyone suggest to me why my system
(K5-133) would take so long to start those?

Subject: COM1 PCMCIA Card
Hi,
I own a sony vaio 505G which runs Linux pretty well. Now I thought about
the COM1 MC220 PCMCIA Card (4in1 Card) to use for Ethernet.
Does anybody run this Card with Ethernet Kit under Linux ??? (The analog
Modem part works great).
