Good point! After telnet localhost I receive:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
3-4 minutes go past
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out
In the /var/log/messages I have this:
Jan 18 10:05:56 linux in.telnetd[385]: connect from unknown
Jan 18 10:06:10 linux in.telnetd[386]: connect from unknown
Jan 18 10:09:19 linux in.telnetd[387]: connect from unknown
It's like it can't resolve the address.

Subject: Local networking between Linux machines
Date: Mon, 18 Jan 1999 17:46:57 GMT
Hello
I just started using Linux, and it is very good. But I
have a question, that I think it is more conceptual then
technical.
If I have 3 pcs with Linux, one is to be the "server", and
the other 2 are to be "client", how to set up users
and groups? I have to create all possible users in all
machines? In NT (I think, I am not expert) the Win95
pc looks for a list of users somewhere, and I can use my
username/password in any machine in the network. In
linux there is something like that? I have experience
with other unises, but there was always only one (or
more) server and the clients were dummy terminals
(there was no unix installed on them). Is there some
HowTo to make me understand the basics?
Thank you.

A hub is considered to be a layer 1 device with no intelligence whatsoever. It
will repeat all packets received to all other ports on that hub.
A bridge or a switch (think of it as a multiport bridge)is a layer two
device that will distribute packets to the appropriate ports based on mac
addresses.
Hooking two computers to a hub is essentially IDENTICAL to connecting with a
crossover cable. The only time you can eliminate collisions is if you have
100bTX on both computers which support full duplex. You can then either
connect them to a switch which will also support this, or with a crossover
cable. 100bTX full duplex with a crossover cable between two computers will
never have collisions. ANY connection between ANY devices that uses 10bt will
have collisions, because they cannot transmit and receive at the same time.
That being said, a network with only two computers won't have a very high
collision rate, and isn't something to be that concerned about.

Hi,
I just had a network card fail in a Red Hat 5.2 box. Do I have to reinstall
and configure with the new card. If I pop a new card of the same make in,
will it see it? What if I don't have a card of the same make? Any help would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

> Thanks already for the suggestions I've gotten on this forum!
Update: I have an Aha! (maybe.) First, re L J Bayuk's advice I tried
pinging and telnetting via IP addresses. I could do that on my machine but
no others (not even the UNIX sitting on my desk.) Thus, it looks like my
loopback IP is all right and perhaps my outgoing configurations, but I
still have no network access.
Re Paul's advice (I haven't tried SuprMath's advice yet), I checked the
hardware settings with ifconfig. My hardware settings were fine; I wasn't
getting nailed with the notorious FFFF problem this time. (I unplugged,
waited, and rebooted anyway to make sure.) Now for the Aha: after trying to
ping out to Yahoo and getting no reply, I checked the LEDs on the card.
NONE were lit!!
This changes the problem a little bit. Conceivably, I suppose, my hardware
(card or cable) might have been damaged in the uninstall/reinstall (again,
revenge of NT). Or, perhaps the power resource management isn't sending
juice to the card. Or maybe the driver is old or bad or corrupted and
simply cannot recognize it. Or perhaps there is a little demon gleefully
cackling and rubbing his hands together in delight as he scrambles my card.
I'm not ruling anything out at this point.
Any ideas? Do any of the above sound plausible? Do you know of something
else that might cause/fix this? I'd love to hear responses; until then, I
think I will do a little research into how to recompile a kernel...
Thanks,
Jason Fletcher

Almost right, but you need to add a FOURTH field to the chap-secrets
file (for modern versions of ppp, anyway). This fourth field is a filter
for acceptable IP addresses. I can't quite remember the definition of
"acceptable" here, but it's documented in the pppd man page. Since you
don't want to be fussy, your chap script shoud look like:
username * password *

Meanwhile I figured out the straightforward way: as root, simply do
pppd ttyS0 38400 # or whatever your line and speed
ifconfig ppp0 <localhost> pointopoint <remotehost>
on both hosts, and it works. No /etc/ppp/options file needed. Those
looking for slattach need look no further.
RedHat's ifup-ppp script lets you automate all this at boot time.
In /etc/sysconfig/network-options/,
(i) create an empty chat-ppp0 script; and
(ii) make up an ifcfg-ppp0 by analogy with ifcfg-eth0, but add two lines
MODEMPORT=ttyS0
LINESPEED=38400
This doesn't seem to be documented anywhere, either in the RH 5.2
installation guide, /usr/doc/ppp-2.3.5, or PPP-HOWTO, grr.
Note that ppp times out within a few seconds if there isn't a waiting
ppp at the other end. If this is a problem you need the "passive"
option. Unfortunately there's no PASSIVE option in ifup-ppp, so after
the line
opts="lock"
add three lines
if [ "${PASSIVE}" = yes ] ; then
opts="$opts passive"
fi
You can then add the line
PASSIVE=yes
to ifcfg-eth0, and pppd will then patiently wait forever for the call
from its mate. A similar hack to ifup-ppp lets you have bsdcomp (BSD
compression).

If not I guess I will have to write up a procedure for logging in and

So what? I can also make a batch file under dos which does the same.

Well, dos don't have an eject function. You win that one. But on the
other hand, you don't need to unmount in dos. And that counts if you
don't use scripts - which leads me to:
I think it is a PITA that you have to write your own scripts for linux
to make simple functions operate as easy as in dos.

Pardon my ignorance, but when a crossover cable is used, isn't the
transmit of one connected to the receive of the other, and vice-versa?
Doesn't that mean that there is no contention (read collisions) between
the transmitters? Aren't there collisions with a hub because all the
transmitters are trying to share one medium?

Is there a way to import the NT user database from our PDC to our Linux box
so we don't have to re-invent the wheel? I am hoping to get an SMTP and POP
server going in the building before my Net admin gets an Exchange server
going.
Thanks,
Jon

No need for a masq module. The game has to be made a little more
NAT-aware, I think. See

Civilization [3]: Call To Power will definitely not suffer from
this problem.

Linux *does* have a /config directory. It's called /etc! :-)

What X Windows Kernel Daemon? Are you perchance talking about your X server?
You renamed what to what?
I've been a long time user of Linux/Red Hat and, since I have *never* used
a Microsoft product, don't find *anything* quarky about Linux.

Color me stupid, but why does he allow root ftp logins, *period*.
Shouldn't root be in his ftpusers file?
