Don't forget that you have to have a properly configured ethernet
interface *before* you launch dhcpd.  Since you are issuing the IP
addresses, I assume you have a fixed address yourself.  Simply put the
appropriate ifconfig statement in your network startup script.

Subject: Login as root with telnet
Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 16:48:35 -0600

I have a very annoying problem with my Linux (RH 5.1) setup at home. I
have setup an old PC as a print server/internet gateway. It is headless
(ie. no monitor) and I was planning on managing it across my LAN by
simply telnet'ing into the thing. Well, telnet works just fine but my
login as root is rejected every time. I can log in as one of the user
accounts I set up and I can then 'su' to root but this is flat out
annoying. What do I need to change on the box in order to enable root
login over telnet?

Subject: Documentation for SAMBA?
Date: 19 Jan 1999 18:34:05 GMT

Is there any overview documentation for SAMBA? Not the 80 or so things
I've found which deal with some tiny bits in painful detail? I need an
example of something *tiny* which will work. Not which needs to be
fitted to your situation, not change this to that, just flat makes any
one bit of filespace visible to the world, with a list of every file
needing to be changed and every file/click needed on Win95 to actually
see the data.

I can see filespace fine with smbclient, but Win95 doesn't see it. I'm
in a sort of complex network, with the client and server separated by a
router, and if SMB won't work over a router, then I see the problem.
Only the docs seem to indicate it will.

Inet === Linux router (2.1.132) --- PPP to other sites
                /             \
         192.168.22       x.x.x.x
           class C       6 bit subnet
              |                |
           client           server

Again, if I boot "client" on Linux, smbclient works just fine, but
"Network Neighborhood" doesn't see the Linux server. I probably need to
do magic somewhere to tell the W95 machines about something, but I
don't have/need a master table for the W95 machines to see each other.

If it matters, the 6 bit subnet is official and visible on the net (with
firewall restrictions, of course). The private network is masqueraded.
Both the 6bit and private can use the net, can see each other
(telnet/ftp from W95 works), smbclient from Linux to W95 works. Both tcp
and udp packets are forwarded correctly, obviously. Ping works between
any two machines, so ICMP also works.

If there's an example, I'll put a W95 machine on the same subnet as the
client, configured as needed, and see if it's the setup or routing. But
not knowing if the setup is right, there are just too many places where
something could be upper or lower case, and where parts care and parts
don't. Documentation with "may need" doesn't help, conflicting
documents which tell me I must set something which another says I
shouldn't, or which insist that I need to use upper or lower case "as
appropriate" also don't help. I'd like to start with something working
and go from there until I see if it's setup or network.

The old SAMBA on my SCO box wasn't this picky, or by great chance I got
it right first time ;-) Unfortunately that's long gone or I wouldn't
have to ask.

Subject: MINICOM for PPP?
Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 10:45:55 -0700

Can minicom be used to start a ppp connection?  If so, then once '~' and
stuff is returned, how do I make the connection available to the system?

If this will not work my problem my stem from my ISP's requirement to
have 'ppp' entered at the prompt after login and password.  How can this
be scripted with minicom or chat or something better (easier) so users
other than root can use it.  

If it matters, I'm on a RH5.0 box - and no RH's tool does not work
because 'ppp' is not/can not be passed - I guess?

I have tried and tried and tried to get this network card to work under
redhat.  I have tried working with network configuration utilities that
come with redhat.  I have recompiled the kernel.  I have made eepro.o a
module and put it in the kernel.  I have turned off the PnP and Flash
RAM memory on the card.  Most of the time, I get no message at all at
boot time.  However, the best I can do is get a message that says
"Delaying eth0 initialization."  Then, it's still useless.  Does anyone
have this card and has set it up successfully?  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

This is due to the new feature of win98: do not accept plain-text
passwords by default. Go to this URL and follow the instructions:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q185/6/12.asp

Or enable encrypted passwords on samba (it means that you must create a
second authentication database).

I am running Red Hat 5.2 and my modem is a Practical Peripherals 14.4 .

I am able to connect using Minicom to my ISP . The RAS responds as would
be expected . I have used the Control Panel ( under X ) configure PPP0
but upon activation , it does does not " dial " . The chat-ppp0 appears
consistent with the configuration input . Upon toggling the interface ,
both pppd and chat come up . Messages which are not entirely
uderstandable are sent to /var/..../log/messages and have been viewed
via tail .

As the configuration tool under Control Panel is straightforward and
Minicom indicates no modem problem I am stuck as to how to proceed
toward successfully accessing my ISP via PPP . Your help would be
appreciated .

Subject: DHCP Client not working with ADSL and Bellsouth.net
Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 18:38:29 GMT

Hello,

  I have seen a ton of messages concerning setting up Linux for ADSL in
combination with having to use DHCP but none of them have helped me to solve
my problem.  So, I am posting in hopes that someone out there has done the
same thing as I'm trying to do in a very very similar situation.

  I am using ADSL through Bellsouth.net in the Birmingham, AL area.  Under
Win95 everything is going great and working fine.  When I tried setting up
Linux, I installed the dhcpcd (client, not dhcpd) but it's failing every time
I try to use it.  I've followed the following suggestions with no luck yet:

1. added -h option to the call to specify hostname (used regular host name
and also the login name that I use for bellsouth.net). 2. added -r option 3.
tried the fixes suggested in the DHCP howto in the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts 4. tried using the dhcpcd 1.3.17 and the 0.70
packages (rpms) 5. tried getting the source for dhcpcd 0.70 and also for
1.3.17 and recompiling them.  - I did have a problem trying to compile 0.70
and gave up trying but 1.3.17 worked fine as far as compiling goes. 6. tried
beating a drum, burning stuff, and chanting to the gods.

I'm getting "no DHCPOFFER messages" in /var/log/messages whenever I run
dhcpcd.

Nothing has worked so far and I'm wondering if anyone else had gotten their
connection to work under Linux for BellSouth.net.  I keep hearing about
everyone else's success and I keep trying to follow everyone else's advice,
but nothing ahs worked for me yet.  I've even tried some obscure silly things
that my own mind drummed up...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It may depend on what kernel version you are using.  After kernel v2.1.something
the DHCPCD v0.70 will not work.  I use a roadrunner cable modem, and I downloaded
a newer daemon "rrdhcpcd" and it worked.

What about the situation where you are connecting together two machines
via RJ45 ?  Don't ethernet cards with 10bT interfaces rely on the hub
for collision detection?  If a hub detects a collision, it sends out a signal
which causes the cards to retransmit...Otherwise packets are lost?

In order for pppd to execute a command from /etc/ppp/ip-up the command
must have the full path specified.

It's caused by no nameserver. Either run a caching server on the local
machine, with only a few addresses like localhost and the machine's real
name, or modify the resolv.conf file to drop any nameservers not
available. Long waits for DNS to time out, longer if you have multiple
servers.
