Do you have patchlevel 5 of diald (version 0.16.5)? As I recall it fixes some
routing problems.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. I'm confused as to how you will download
the file. Are you going to download it to a Windows box? Are you going to
download it to a dual boot system? Are you going to download it to floppy?
Some more information would be good.

I found /usr/doc/HOWTO/Firewall-HOWTO to be pretty good, and ultimately
quite accurate. The problem is that you sort of need to know a lot about
the
various protocols that might traverse the firewall in order to set things
up
to accommodate all of them. Failing a thorough reading of about 6 of the
O'Reilly
books, I can recommend a little experimentation to find out how to get each
of
these things running right.

If you haven't found the file /var/log/messages (on RedHat, at least), then
I'm not
sure what "... and it does not work" means. This file is where my system
puts
all those messages. A pointer to it is in /etc/syslog.conf (the line that
says
what to do with *.info entries).
Once you find these logging entries, you can then use this facility to find
out
what ports are needed by various protocols. The basic scheme is that when
some protocol doesn't work, you turn on logging for all packets not caught
by
a previous rule, and attempt the transaction. As soon as you see if it
works
or not, remove the permissive logging rules, and then go look at
/var/log/messages, where you will see what packets had
previously
been denied, but were necessary for that protocol to succeed.
Admittedly, this represents a small security threat for the duration of
the
experiment, but it is fast, and the window of opportunity is very small.
Here are the command files for TCP debugging:
logall
=========================================================
#!/bin/bash
# Temporary tcp packet rules (recorded in /var/log/messages)
# These commands insert rules to accept all packets not previously
# matched, and to log info about them. This could well be
# a security breach, so a companion script is used to remove
# the rules when we are done with testing.
/sbin/ipfwadm -I -a accept -o -P tcp
/sbin/ipfwadm -O -a accept -o -P tcp
=========================================================
dellogall
=========================================================
#!/bin/bash
# Temporary tcp packet rules (recorded in /var/log/messages)
# These commands insert rules to accept all packets not previously
# matched, and to log info about them. This could well be
# a security breach, so a companion script is used to remove
# the rules when we are done with testing.
/sbin/ipfwadm -I -d accept -o -P tcp

There is a prefab t-online account with proxies, numbers and everything
preconfigured in the yast tool.
You first have to install your modem by creating a soft (or is it a
hard?) link to the appropriate serial port in the /dev directory.
Alternatively, you can use yast: -> Administration des... -> Hardware
... -> Modem...
Then with SuSE Linux you have the opportunity to use yast as well to set
up your account by firstly configuring Administra... -> Netzwerk ko...

Afterwards check and configure Admin.... -> Netzwe... -> PPP-Netzwerk...
Check the SuSE support database under

This is possible but quiet hard, you need to no the iP address of both WINS
servers on each site of the connection. WHen you would like to mount
between unix systems I suggest you use NFS this is alot easier and since
you are communicating over the inet speed is not an argument here.
You still might have to have a chat with your netadmin to open up dome IP

The thing is, that PCMCIA is a lowsy standard and above all a badly documented
standard. The only people who can get the specs are mostly OS and Hardware
builders.
I had a lot of problems with PCMCIA and Windoze 95 too so I think it is a bit
blund to state that Linux might suck because a lowsy PC standard isn't
implemented for 100%. Besides I had 1 laptop set up with SUSE linux 5.3 without
any problems, so it also depends on wich PCMCIA cards are in the system.
Lets be short, all PC specs suck. Like powersupple, PCI, ISA, EISA, Intel, VGA.
I think we all should buy IBM AS/400, RS6000 or DIgital ALpha servers. My Alpha

I don't know of any programs for this purpose, but there is a useful
manual method. Look at the larger chips on the card, read off the
numbers on them, and do a grep through the Ethernet-HOWTO for those
numbers. The larger chips are usually custom-designed for a particular
card or family and will often identify the card, or at least the right
driver for it. It's worked pretty well for me.

Well, I might have suggested an IRQ conflict at another time, but
I've recently seen a post or two suggesting something that fits your
description very well and is even more improbable.
Look at the /etc/syslog.conf file for a line that begins with *.* and then
look at the file to which it points. You may be logging everything in
sight to that file, although how it comes to be this way is beyond my ken.
I've forgotten which file but if it is /var/log/debug then a more
appropriate line for logging would be
*.=debug /var/log/debug
You might want to look at "man syslog.conf" for other options.

Subject: Samba and named conflict
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 19:12:00 -0600
I need some help. I installed a new hard drive to allow for space for
more services in my Linux box over the weekend and reinstalled RH 5.1. I
installed and had running the packages needed to allow the Linux box to
serve as the print server, internet dial-up server, backup, and Samba.
Along with the dial-up stuff I chose to include the caching name server
option that I think I need to cache web addresses rather than always
look them up. I believe this means then that I need to have the named
daemon running on the system. No problem I install it and everything is
working so far.
I load my standard, debugged smb.conf file on my box, restart samba and
everything seemed to be o.k last night....I even printed a few test
pages, I can see the printer and shared resources on the Linux box from
my W95 PC. However, this evening when I got home to work on the ipfwadm
stuff I found that the computer icon for the Linux box shows up in the
Network Neighborhood of my W95 PC but when I try to open my Linux box my
W95 PC tells me that the network is busy.
So, I go over to my Linux box and check out what services are running
with top. There are at least 2 instances of smbd and nmbd running. This
is a little strange so I stop Samba manually and restart it. No luck, I
still can't open my Linux box from the W95 box. I then start shutting
down other services manually, the first of which is named as it is not
critical (yet :) ) and restart Samba. Lo, I can now see my Linux box on
the W95 machine. I start up named again and everything quits working
again. Shut down named again and everything works again.
I know this is a little long of an introduction but I wanted to document
the debug process of what I found. To me this points to a conflist with
named and Samba. Another detail, this is the stock RH 5.1 packages, I
have not upgraded anything, kernel 2.0.34, etc.
A few questions then,
1) What's wrong?
2) Do I really need named to do the caching nameserver stuff that I
want?
3) Even if the answer to (2) is no, still what's up with the conflict?
I appreciate the feedback.

For smtp and pop, I recommend starting with the Linux HOWTOs, like

The only way tro solve that, is to buy a ISDN router with
DIAT/Portforwarding. Linux can forward ports with the rinetd and ipautofw.
But the problem isn't the forwarding but the FTP protocoll. SInce the FTP
protocoll uses serveral sockets for one user, this is very confusing for
the software. Because rinetd and ipaotofw always go out from the fact that
1 sockets is for one user. The ISDN routers, fake a FTP server and then
connect via it to the server you chosen. (The same you've done by running 2
ftpd). Your solution is th emost gracefull.

Without reinstalling it all.
I still can login but as my user account that I create right after my
installation. But not anymore as root.

I have the same problem too when I use the cable modem, but I solved a
week ago. When U want to use cable modem, U should re-compile the kernel
and include PPP and SLIP (that means U should choose Networking Support,
something like that), when finished, reboot the computer. Start X and
choose Network Configuration, choose Interface, choose "Add", and PPP
Interface Type. After U enter all the data, then U can use it. A fast way
to activate the modem, type "ifup ppp0", when disconnect, type "ifdown
ppp0"
