Help,
I know I've read it somewhere, but for the life of me, I can't find it.
I have 2 linux servers and I'm using nfs to remote mount one of the
filesystems.
On the nfs server, I have portmapper, rpc.mountd, and rpc.nfsd running.
I can type rpcinfo -p and get the normal responses.
2 entries (tcp and udp) for portmapper, mountd, and nfsd.
When I go to the server that I want to mount the dir. on and
try to mount it by typing : mount -t nfs -o timeo=14,bg,intr
209.4.101.251:/tmp /bags
(which is what has been working in my fstab)
I get: mount clntudp_create: RPC: Program not registered.

Subject: Re: Could anyone rxplain how to get pop3 mail from Linux to Exchange on NT4
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 15:47:02 +0000
Hi!
I've been doing the same sort of thing, but using the Linux machine as the
server. To fetch the mail from your isp use fetchmail - if it is installed
then type 'man fetchmail' for oodles of setup information. I personally
use root to run fetchmail and transfer mail. You might be able to tighten
up security by using a normal user just for the purpose, but in my
application I don't see the point.
In the root user area create a file called .fetchmailrc that contains the
following:
poll my.pop3.server.net protocol pop3 user myusername pass mypassword
This line can be repeated for however many external e-mail addresses you
have. If, like me, you have a 'multidrop' e-mail box at your ISP, then you
only need this one line here. If you have different boxes at your ISP for
different users here put 'is localusername here' at the end of this line.
For single mailboxes this will post each mail item into the user on the
*Linux* box.
For multidrop mailboxes, this will post *all* mail items, still addressed
to their original owners, to the root user (or whoever is running the
fetchmail program).
I then use procmail to distribute mail to where it has to go (remember, my
mail all gets dropped into the root box). Create a .procmailrc file that
contains the following for each user:
:0:
* ^TOusername@
! username
which basically means if any 'to' field contains username@ then post it to
the user 'username'. Putting the @ after the username stops 'TO: Sue'
being matched with 'TO: SueBloggs' because the username must end in @.
Type 'man procmail', 'man procmailrc' and most usefully, 'man procmailex'
for examples and help of use.
You should be able to get procmail to process the mail and push it into
port 25 on the NT server. If not, you could always run qpopper and point
your PC POP-3 clients to the Linux box!
Incidentally, if anyone knows how to get !Megahard Exchange to use POP-3
to download mail from an ISP directly, I'd be very interested to know how!
It seems to want your ISP to post the e-mail to it via SMTP, which I can't
do.
Hope this helps.

Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 17:01:14 +0100
Hi there!
I am using Linux as MTA in our local network and DOS/WIN clients receive
their mail on demand using POP3 (popper). Sometimes some warnings occur
for which I do not have explanations:
a) client did not use HELO protocol
b) too few arguments for the AUTH command.
POP3 works properly, but the warnings remain.
Any clue how to fix this?

Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 15:45:33 -0600
New to linux/unix:
Just installed Red Hat 5.2 and am having problems with my PPP
connection. I can dial out fine but I get disconnected from my ISP
everytime and I dont know where to look to see what is going on. Am I
missing some config info?
Currently, to dial out, I select "activate" from the Networking Config
menu. The modem dials, connects, is quiet for a few seconds then
disconnects and redials. Does this have anything to do with PAP???
Would also like to find a program similar to MS DUN. - Once I can get on
the net!
Any ideas?
TIA

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Whats your setup? Are you expecting a server to give a dynamic
ip issued from an ISP to other computers on your network?
==================================================================
Generic info for RH 5.2. Assumption: you installed PPP.
===================================================================
RH puts ppp scripts in /usr/doc/ppp-2.3.5
Copy ppp-on, ppp-on-dialer, options to /etc/ppp.
===================================================================
Modify ppp-on:
TELEPHONE, ACCOUNT, PASSWORD
==================================================================
For exec command. put in correct device probably
cua1, modem speed
===================================================================
Edit /etc/resolv.conf and put in ISP nameserver
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
You usually get two from your isp.
====================================================================
execute ppp-on & and monitor logs with
tail -f /var/log/messages.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OR:
Control Pannel: Modem configuration. Select
correct device. (used in ppp-on script)
===================================================================
Network Configurator: Routing: Defaults blank
PPP0 will use this:
===================================================================
Network Configurator: Names: insert ISP
nameserver addresses.
===================================================================
System Configurator: PPP/SLIP/PLIP: Configurations, Add
Fill in Hardware, Communication. Assumes PAP not
required - If things do not work check with ISP.
==================================================================
Save quit. Verify /etc/resolv.conf has your ISP
addresses.
==================================================================
The linuxconf sets up most things but does not
setup the ppp-on script - that must be done by hand.

Hi spivey,

> Question; Can you edit this manully instead of _make config_?
Yes you can. But you'll have to take care of the dependencies specified
within the [Cc]onfig.in files else some features simple do not work even
though you did select them. Additionally you have to run "make
oldconfig" in order to setup the config headers and stuff. During this
step features that are not possible in this context will be switched
off. And you may get a prompt if you totaly deleted lines from the
config.
At all this is not the easy going way. I prefer to use "make menuconfig"
or "make xconfig". But I use "make oldconfig" if I am going to compile a
previously saved config or to get most of the options preselected from a
config of a older kernel release.

Subject: IPFWADM or IPCHAINS accounting question.
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 11:28:08 -0500
I have a 2.0.36 kernel linux box that I am trying to do IP accounting
with. I have two network cards in the linux box (both working). One is
connected to a private network, the other to a network connected to a router
and then to the internet. Other machines are also connected to the network
connected to the internet.
I am trying to use Linux IP accounting to track bandwidth use among 6 or
so machines connected on the external network. If I use ipfwadm or
ipchains, I do not get packet/byte counts for traffic going to or from
network addresses on the other machines. I do get packet byte counts for
traffic going to or from the network address on the linux box.
Does anyone know if it is possible to get this to work without making
the linux box a forwarder (sitting between the router and the remaining
machines)? If so is there any special network card configuration. I was
thinking that maybe I had to enable promiscouous mode on the network card
(I'm tryinging to figure out how to do that).
Any tips or suggestion may be apprieciated.

You can log in as root if you enable that option in one of the config files,

someone will tell you how to do it. And probably tell you it isn't a good

Edit /etc/resolv.conf and put in ISP nameserver
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
You usually get two from your isp.
====================================================================
execute ppp-on & and monitor logs with
tail -f /var/log/messages.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OR:
Control Pannel: Modem configuration. Select
correct device. (used in ppp-on script)
===================================================================
Network Configurator: Routing: Defaults blank
PPP0 will use this:
===================================================================
Network Configurator: Names: insert ISP
nameserver addresses.
===================================================================
System Configurator: PPP/SLIP/PLIP: Configurations, Add
Fill in Hardware, Communication. Assumes PAP not
required - If things do not work check with ISP.
==================================================================
Save quit. Verify /etc/resolv.conf has your ISP
addresses.
==================================================================
The linuxconf sets up most things but does not
setup the ppp-on script - that must be done by hand.

I had a similar experience. Turned out I had upgraded dhcp, rather
than dhcpcd.
