I think Samba is only the 'server' side. You need smbfs in your kernel
(as a module?).

I don't think you need Samba as well for that, but you may want it
anyway, for the Win machines to see your Linux (and non-running Windows)
disk(s).

I think I only ever got Samba going, not smbfs (It was all too
frustrating with a 386sx20 Linux box :-)

Depends. A quick question, will systems be reading & writing to the same
machine? Something like the following:

HOST_1
 |  |
HOST_2

The reason I ask is that you will go through hell trying to select which
network will be used. It would be far easier to use a single subnet but
implement it on a full duplex switch. If however you are talking
something more like this:

HOST_1
 |
HOST_2
 |
HOST_3

Where HOST_2 will be communicating on 2 subnets, this type of setup will
not be a problem and should work fine.

> 2. Are there existing examples of such a setup?

Multi-homed hosts are pretty common. IT all depends on how you are
trying to lay it all out.

> 3. The arrangement might involve heterogenous platforms.

Should not be any more of a problem. The issues I mention above stem
from general networking principals and are not limited to a specific OS.
The only real difference is that if you are attempting the first network
config (2 networks in parallel), each OS may use a different process in
choosing which network to use for communications.

Cheers,
Chris

Subject: Dual Token Ring Cards on RedHat 5.2
Date: Sat, 23 Jan 1999 09:44:45 -0600

Hello All:

I am currently attempting to get 2 IBM 16/4 Auto ISA token ring adapters
installed in an IBM PC 360 (i686/150).  I have been able to get Linux to
detect and install the first card.  However, only after I turned of PnP for
the card and hardcoded the resources.  I did the same with the second
adapter.  I set aliases for tr1 and tr0 in conf.modules, with one at io=a20
(this one works) and the other at a24 (this one doesn't work).  During
bootup I get good initialization of the first card, but the Kernel says
"Delaying Intialization of tr1".  I have verified the resources of both
cards to be unique...  I still can't seem to get it going.

Does anybody out there have any ideas???

Please Help!

                Bear in mind, that the smbfs rpm works ONLY with 2.0.x kernels.
Either with 2.1.xxx or 2.2.0 kernels it won't work. You need the smbmount
version that comes with samba (the rpm you installed has nothing to do with
the samba package) and infact it needs to be compiled against the respective
kernel headers.
                Unfortunately, as you mentioned the smbmount program is not included
with the samba2.0 rpm from the contrib site - one has to compile it for him
self.

I don't know about NT but Linux has no problem at all having two (or
more) ethernet cards with the _same_ IP address.  You can specifiy in
the routing table which is to be used for output.  You _can_ still
give the two cards different IP addresses but it gets a bit more messy.

Yes, if you have the requisite hardware this is probably a better
sollution.

OK, my Linux server is up & running RedHat 5.1, with kernel version 2.0.35.
Now I want to get sendmail setup.  I would like to fix an immediate problem 
that I have first, and learn about the inner workings of sendmail later, if 
possible, so here's my question:

I want to set up my server so that an outside user can use it as an SMTP 
server.  It works fine as a POP server, but when I try to send mail through it 
from another computer using it as the SMTP server, it says that it doesn't like 
my destination address, and it only seems to take destinations that are on that 
server itself, ie. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ideas?  I am trying to get this piece working first, then I'll end up buying a 
good book on sendmail later and end up tweaking it more extensively....

Put the servers *outside* the Masq host.
Put your customers *inside* the Masq host.

Be sure to use the latest Masq, else your customers won't be
able to play some online games.  The Masq in kernel 2.2.0-final is fine.
Even with the lastest Masq, some games and programs like ICQ will
give your customers fits.

Hello:

I have just torn down a dedicated PPP internet connection with a block of 
assigned IP addresses and moved the server to my office. Now, back at the 
homefront, I have set up a brand-new RedHat 5.2 LINUX system...

My only Internet access now is a dynamicaly assigned IP address through a 
dial-up connection. I want to set-up my LINUX box to dial-out on demand from my 
Win9* boxes on the home LAN.

LINUX Box= 192.168.0.1
Win9* Box= 192.168.0.2

I don't need to be "spoon fed" the steps. I'd just like to get others input on 
how they handle this routing scenario, security considerations, various 
options, etc...

Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Date: Sat, 23 Jan 1999 16:42:25 +0000

I'm reposting the following as I think it got buried in this very active
newsgroup!



Hello All!
  I'm dealing with a small office server running redhat where diald
provides a connection to the internet using pppd. Recently I added a
dial in PPP connection, and now when I telnet to the server with my
dialin connection it comes up with the 'Connected To..' message straight
away, (so I presume that my machine connects to the server directly) but
there
is a delay before I get the 'Login' and 'Password' prompts, I'm pretty
sure that it's during this delay that diald brings up the link to the
internet. Presumably the server gets a connection from my client machine
OK, but then can't figure out how to route packets back to it. So I
added to my ip-up script;
             'route -host <hostip> dev <ppp-device>' 
where <hostip> and <ppp-device> are arguments passed to the script that
tell it the ip address of the client and which net interface it is on (I
detect which tty device as well, so that I only do this for the dial-in
link). I was totally confident that this was the solution to the
problem, supplying an explicit route back to the client, so that packets
wouldn't get sent to the default route of the diald 'fake' slip device,
and cause the internet link to come up. IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE
WHATSOEVER! Help! I'm sure that should have worked and have no idea what
to do now!

On another note, I want to be able to offer certain admin tasks (of
which ppp-on and ppp-off are examples) as options on the embryonic
company intranet through the use of cgi-scripts to kick off the
appropriate commands. However, a lot of these commands seem to require
the user to be root. I don't want to run the webserver as root, because
that seems to much like asking for it, but I can't find any way to
execute these commands otherwise (the setuid permission to make the
effective user root  when a script is run doesn't seem to help any). As
a last resort I'm going to try piping the password into the su program
in one of the scripts (what a pity that I can't just pass it on the
command line, let me guess, that would be a security hole wouldn't it?)
but if anyone has a more elegant solution I'd like to hear it!

Thanks a lot
Colum

I got that error quite frequently while I was setting up my Linux box
with a few different cards.  Using RH5.2, I found that I had to add

alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x240

(or something similar) to my /etc/conf.modules file.  My main problem
was that the auto-detection of the io address seemed to be failing,
which would prevent the ethernet card from being set up.

Try /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/* instead.
The modifications you need to make are pretty small, IIRC.

Of course, I can't get my linux box totally working either, so who am
I to talk.

Later,

Hallo Leute,

ich habe Linux SuSE 6.0 installiert.
Das System laeuft auch.
Nun versuche ich, eine Netzwerkverbindung zu erreichen.
Ich bringe einfach keinen Ping auf einen anderen Rechner zustande.
Verwendet wurde, nach mehreren Versuchen, die absolute Standardvorgabe von
SuSE.
Alle Vorgaben ersetzt, SuSE System fuer Netzwerkserver geladen.

Doch erst einmal die technischen Daten:

(Hardware ist i.O. wurde unter NT und '95 getestet)
AMD 233, IDE, 3c905

Die Details:

Typ des Netzwerks    eth0
Art der Karte               3Com 3c590x/3c90x
Optionen                     options=0 (10Mbit sollten reichen)

Der (die) Rechner wurde installiert (autosensing erkennt die
Netzwerkkarte(n)).
Alle Vorgaben wurden beibehalten.
IP:                192.168.0.99
Subnet:        255.255.255.0
Gateway:     eigene IP-Adresse

Ping auf eigenen Rechner o.k.
Ping auf bestehendes Netz versucht, kein Erfolg.

zweiten Rechner plattgemacht:
IP 192.168.0.100
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Gateway eigene IP-Adresse (als auch die vom anderen Rechner probiert)

Eigenen Hub fuer die beiden Linux Rechner eingesetzt.

Ping auf den eigenen Rechner funzt mit IP-Adresse als auch mit
local-Adresse.
Der Ping auf den anderen Rechner bingt kein Ergebnis.

Habt Ihr Ideen was das sein kann?
Oder habe ich da etwas Grundsaetzliches uebersehen.
In den Manuals, gedruckt und online, finde ich keinen Hinweis.

Besten Dank im Voraus
Gerald Werner

Use Masq.  I'd recommend the lastest version, as it's more
compatible with multiplayer games than older ones,
thanks to the loose udp patch.

I am a newbie trying to setup a server with Linux RH5.2, Apache_1.3.3,
PHP, PHPLIB, mod_ssl, etc.
I want to protect myself while I'm still developing, and then also when
it is seriously connected
to the net.  I am locally administering it, but that will change to also
include remote administration.

I've read many of the docs for both ipfwadm and also SOCKS5.  I'm
leaning towards ipfwadm,
but just don't have any experience in this area.

Any ideas?  Thanks very much for any feedback.
Donovan Wade

Thank you ever so much!  That was the problem.  I had renamed my computer,
changing localhost and localhost.localdomain to my own personal choice.

I have mail!

Subject: Routing problems ...
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 1999 10:57:23 -0400

Dear linux`s users,

I have been trying to route a class C subnet that has the following
caracteristics:

machine1:
IP: 150.185.162.129
NETMASK: 255.255.255.192
IP network: 150.185.162.128
Broadcast: 150.185.162.191
( this machine has only one ethernet card )

machine2:
IP: 150.185.162.193
Netmask: 255.255.255.192
Broadcast: 150.185.162.255
IP network: 150.185.162.192
( just 1 ethernet card )

machine3: ( router and gateway to the outside )
IP: 150.185.162.29
Netsmask: 255.255.255.128
IP network: 150.185.162.0
Broadcast: 150.185.162.127

This last machine has three ethernet cards, one that goes to machine1
another that goes to machine2 and a third one that goes to the principal
gateway ( in this case a computer with an IP 150.185.162.1 ) that exits
to the Internet.

For some reason, machine1 and machine2 can get conected with each other
through machine 3, and they can also get conected with machine3.
Unfortunatelly I have been unable to establish conection from any
machine1 or machine2 to the principal gateway (150.185.162.1) thus the
outside, although machine3 has normal access to the outside.

Can anyone explain me what is it that I have been doing wrong?

Thank you for your time and help,

Daniel Tyrode
