Subject: AppleTalk, papd times out.
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 23:52:44 GMT
I'm trying to set up printing from my mac to my Linux print server. I've
installed the netatalk rpm from contrib.redhat.com onto my RedHat 5.2 system.
This rpm was called netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.2-2.i386.rpm.
My papd.conf contains the following:
hp:\
:pr=lp:op=vic:\
:pd=/etc/atalk/hpiip522.ppd:
I start the atalk service, and papd looks ok from the logs...
Jan 25 18:02:40 canuck papd[14400]: restart (1.4b2+asun2.1.2)
Jan 25 18:02:46 canuck papd[14400]: register hp:LaserWriter@*
...but when I try to print to it, I get a series of log entries like this:
Jan 25 18:11:50 canuck papd[14400]: child 14453 for "hp" from 65280.173
Jan 25 18:11:52 canuck papd[14400]: child 14454 for "hp" from 65280.173
Followed by a bunch like this:
Jan 25 18:15:51 canuck papd[14453]: connection timed out
Jan 25 18:15:52 canuck papd[14454]: connection timed out
Jan 25 18:15:52 canuck papd[14400]: child 14454 exited with 1
I did an strace on the papd process, and it is waiting on a socket with
select() and eventually timing out. If I do a "Get Printer Configuration"
from the Mac I get the following:
Current Status:
lp is ready and printing
Configuration Info: (Mon, Jan 25, 1999 4:59 PM)
Printer Name: hp
Zone: *
Product Name: <a lot of garbage here>
PostScript Level: 1
PostScript Version:
PostScript Revision: -1
Resolution: 0 dpi
Total Memory Installed: 1K
Total Memory Available: 1K
Binary Communcations Supported: Unknown
Color Supported: No
PPD File: LaserWriter
The mac keeps crashing when it tries to print. It doesn't look like anything
ever gets injected into the print spool. I'd really appreciate any advice
anyone could offer me on this.
Thanks in advance,
Vic.

There are four ways I know of:
1. Use LPRng (reworked lpr/lpd, etc. - rpm exists): lpr
-P<printer>@<host> <file>
2. Use rlpr: rlpr -P<printer> -H<host> -U<user> <file>
3. Use the rm: entry for remote printer in your /etc/printcap and use lpr
as usual to a local queue
4. nc <printer.ip.addr> 9100 < file
I have used the first three, and LPRng is the best.

Try putting the online rule 'up' in your diald.conf file. If that keeps you
up then you need to play with the timeout values. Read the docs concerning
the timeouts to figure out how you want to configure your site.
There is also the possibility that you are not getting logged on to your ISP
properly although it appears from your log that you have successfully
grabbed an IP.
Try the 'up'....

Subject: routing problem with ipchains.
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 22:22:35 -0500
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello!
I am having a bot of a problem with my routing table......I recenlty
compiled the 2.2pre9 (final?) kernel and have converted my ipfwadm
commands to ipchains commands....However, after a few hours of banging
my head against the wall, I have gone back to kernel 2.0.36 and
ipfwadm.....My problem is as follows...
I have the following lines in my rc.local script:
/sbin/ipchains -F forward
/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 0/0
/sbin/ipchains -M -S 7200 120 900
/sbin/ipchains -A input -j REDIRECT 987 -p tcp -d 0/0 80
/sbin/ipchains -A input -j REDIRECT 987 -p tcp -d 0/0 8080
/sbin/ipchains -A input -j REDIRECT 987 -p tcp -d 0/0 8000
/usr/sbin/in/tcproxyd -s 987 -r nobody 127.0.0.1 3129
However, after trying many times to connect to the internet via a
computer other than the machine with the ipchains configuration (mac's
and windoze machines), I can not reach theinternet.....However, I think
a bit more information is needed......I am using eql to do serial line
balancing....our comapny is assigned a static ip (I think this is the
problem) and everyone on the lan is assigned an ip of 192.168.1.x (x
ranging from 1-72).....Do I need an additional configuration with ip
chains to get us routing properly? Thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
Brian Gilman

If the cards are token ring you do not need a Hub. Hubs are for UTP (
unscreened twisted pair ) connections
these have an RJ45 connector on the network card. ( a bit like the plug
on the telephone )

If your modem is a winmodem it will NOT work with Linux. It will be
'brain-dead'
Internal modems are in any case harder to set up than external ones. If
it can be done with
your setup make it /dev/cua1 ( equal to COM2 in DOS )

Yes but not sure exactly how may need to write a script - someone else

Yes use diald. I guess as many users as you have. Don't forget they will
be sharing the modem
so each gets a part of the speed - in effect 2 users each has 33.6/2
modem 3 users each has 33.6/3 modem

Subject: can't get telnet to work
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 20:52:11 -0500
I have redhat linux 5.2; I just upgraded my kernel to 2.2.pre9. Most
things work, but I have a problem with telnet'ing to a vt100 type
device.
Telneting to a terminal (my Unix box at my office) works fine. Most
TCP/IP networking seems fine.
When I try to connect to the console of network bridge I have, with
telnet and either xterm or nxterm, the console puts up a vt100 screen;
though I get the console screen, it won't accept my input. Nothing
happens when I type.
This worked fine with my earlier kernel, 2.0.36.
Any clues? Obviously, I'm something of a newbie at this, so I'm
grateful for help.

find / -name *cookie*
will find any file (that you have permission to read. ) with the word
cookie in the middle (or whole word.)
this would find cookies.html etc.
To stop the insidious spread of cookies. Simply make a softlink to the
bitbucket /dev/null from the cookie file. 'frinstance. in your netscape home
dir (probably $HOME/.netscape) type
ln -s /dev/null /a
This will mean that any cookie written to the cookies file, will be redirected
to the bit bucket. You don't have to deal with clicking no on a bunch of
requestors, or being refused access because you refuse to accept cookies.

Question:
I have a RH5.2 system with configured with dial-up ppp access to my
ISP. I also run a caching nameserver as well that 'appears' to be
working. One thing I've noticed in my message log is that everytime I
run the command `who`, it generates the following messages:
Jan 25 21:55:07 xenon named[280]: ns_forw: sendto([209.195.95.95].53):
Network is unreachable
Jan 25 21:55:34 xenon named[280]: ns_forw: sendto([192.33.4.12].53):
Network is unreachable
Note that the IP addresses refer to my ISP's nameserver and a
root-server in that order.
It seems that it tries to do a dns query, whenever I run `who`. Why is
this?? I have no one logged in over the Internet to begin with. This
is particularly annoying for my system since I am not connected to the
Internet 24/7 and consequently I have to wait for the query to timeout
before who spits out its' results.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Robert

Subject: Channel Bonding help needed
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 20:53:19 -0600
I am trying to set up channel bonding on kernel 2.0.36 (Soon to be 2.2.0)
and am having some problems. First, here is the page I am going by...
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/beowulf/bonding.html
First, I got both files. I patched the kernel, and one 'hunk' failed... at
1122 if that means anything. I did a make config, and got the Beowulf
cluster option, which I answered with YES.
Next, I tried to compile the ifenslave.c per its tail comment...
compile-command: "gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O ifenslave.c -o ifenslave"
This gives a bunch of warnings and does not create a command named
'ifenslave'.
This is the final component needed to have a viable alternative to our
Netware servers, so ANY help here would help greatly...
What am I doing wrong??
Jeff

That's right you have an 8 way RJ45 plug at each end
only 4 wires ( 2 pair ) are used.
crossover cable has the following connections
plug 1 plug 2
pin pin
1 <----> 3
2 <----> 6
3 <----> 1
6 <----> 2
I have used a small hub under Novell and had problems when I set up a
temporary LAN
while I treid to recover DATA from an old Server. Found out one of the
cables needed
to be crossed but the others straight through.
