Subject: DHCP Linux server and subnets help
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 01:10:21 GMT
I am setting up a DHCP server on Redhat 5.1 running
ISC DHCPD V2-BETA-1-PATCHLEVEL-6
Our network has a router that seperates our class C ip address in to 4
segments.
The subnetting of each segment occurs every so many IP numbers, fo example:
xxx.xxx.xxx.32 is segment A with a mask of 255.255.255.224
The port for that router segment is xxx.xxx.xxx.33 (i.e. the client's gateway
for that subnet).
and so on.
I set-up the linux server on segment A, and configured a couple of clients to
test it. They have no problems getting IP addresses and info from the server.
But when I have a machine, on say segment C of the router, it doesn't work.
my dhcpd.conf looks like so:
default-lease-time 1000;
max-lease-time 3000;
option domain-name-servers 38.9.215.2, 38.9.225.2;
option domain-name "foobar.com";
shared-network FOOBAR {
# Router seg. A
subnet 10.0.1.32 netmask 255.255.255.224 {
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.224;
option broadcast-address 10.0.1.63;
option routers 10.0.1.33;
range 10.234.100.35 206.234.100.57;
}
# Router seq. B
subnet 10.0.1.64 netmask 255.255.255.192 {
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.192;
option broadcast-address 10.0.1.127;
option routers 10.0.1.65;
range 10.0.1.81 10.0.1.94;
range 10.0.1.96 10.0.1.126;
}
# Router seg. C
subnet 10.0.1.128 netmask 255.255.255.192 {
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.192;
option broadcast-address 10.0.1.191;
option routers 10.0.1.128;
range 10.0.1.131 10.0.1.140;
range 10.0.1.142 10.0.1.158;
}
# Router seg. D
subnet 10.0.1.192 netmask 255.255.255.192 {
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.192;
option broadcast-address 10.0.1.255;
option routers 10.0.1.192;
range 10.0.1.209 10.0.1.217;
range 10.0.1.240 10.0.1.248;
}
}
When monitoring the server in debug mode I notice it seems to only be
listening to it's own subnet and none of the others.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
colins stefani

PPP0 wants to use it so it will work. Do a route and you can see
it.
It is your network device and it is our gateway to the internet.
Do
an ifconfig -a after ppp0 comes up.

If your using Redhat, this should be a snap as you use printtool to set up
what kind of printer it is. Then make sure you have proper entries inthe
"hosts" files, and refer to it as the name found in the share'ed as dialog
in the Win98. It's easier if you put it on a linux box and share it from
there to the Windows boxes as I did on mine. WOrks much nicer and you can
also provide a printcap that can be shared as an HP Laserjet using
postscript!.
Networking is probably the biggest issue. If it' aint' talkin', nothing
jive'n.
Use the print tool if your on that. If not, then yes, I might send you a
copy of my printcap but I suspect you may have other issues.

Hi All,
Since upgrading to 2.2.0 kernel IP forwarding is broken.
The server can see the internet and the clients can see the server (and
have default routes to it) but no forwarding seems to be happening...
I also can't seem to find ip forwarding in the make menuconfig
Any pointers?

If your ISP already has an smtp and pop server going, you shouldn't really
need to have your own running. If you do, why are you trying to connect
your smtp server to their pop server? I usually just connect to their smtp
to send outgoing mail, and to the pop server to receive mail. I wouldn't
recommend trying to serve your own smtp if you don't have a set IP. Again,
I could be wrong. . .

: Is there anybody who installed a Linux machine in Token Ring network?
: Which network card do you use and how did you install the drivers?
Yes. I use an old Token Ring adapter with IBM chips on it (don't know
the exact type of the card), together with the ibmtr module.
One thing I noticed is, that I could not configure the card until it
was connected to the network. But still you should be able to insert
the ibmtr module.
There is also a mailinglist for Token Ring on linux:

We're using RedHat 5.2 (kernel 2.0.36) with the SDL Frame Relay driver
installed for a Riscom N2 card. We also have two NICs, eth1 to a /25
net, and eth0 to two /24 nets that share the same LAN cable. So there
are really four nets here, with three different physical interfaces.
THE PROBLEM:
[root@gw bob]# /usr/sbin/traceroute 204.31.147.5
traceroute: Warning: Multiple interfaces found; using 204.31.147.10 @

THE QUESTION:
How can I turn the route that looks like
207.2.31.209 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 1500 0 0
eth0:0
into
207.2.31.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 1500 0 0
eth0:0
so that packets between 234.56.78.128/25 and 207.2.31.0/24 travel
through eth0:0 rather than through fr0?

Subject: dhcpcd refuses to install
Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1999 23:32:09 GMT
I am trying to install dhcpcd-1.3.17-pl2 onto 486 DX50 Slackware Ver
2.0.34. When I do the make I get an error message "Make:***
[udpipgen.o] error 1". I also tried dhcpcd-1.3.6 and I get the same
thing. I guess it is a setup problem on my behalf but have ran out of
ideas. Can anyone help.
PS - both my ethers work I can ifconfig them both.

Subject: Linux as a load balancing router SUGGESTIONS
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 00:47:25 GMT
I work for an ISP in Houston that is upgrading services. We're
considering a rather radical move for an ISP, using a load balancing
setup for dual T1's. If anyone has any suggestions for the
possibility of using Linux as the router utilizing BGP4 and OSPF, Id
be thrilled.

Sure you can. Just put in a linux boot disk or cdrom, mount the partition
where your /etc directory resides and delete the encrypted password string
from either your /etc/shadow or your /etc/passwd (depends on whether you
have shadow passwords installed or not)
Then reboot without the boot medium and log in as root without a password.

Subject: is my system overloaded?
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 12:59:01 +0100
i've a linux 2.0.35 running on a double p2 with 128Mb ram and a quantm disk
(server style) of 6 Gbyte.
It performs web and mail server jobs, with apache and sendmail.
After 6 mounth of hard working without any problem i noticed that response
time when you try to connect to any port are getting longer.
my 'messages' is about 6 Mb and my 'access.log' is almost the same.
Could this slow down be caused by the fact it needs to write logs in this
big files?
In this case, can i backup this file and empty them without problems?
If this this is a bad diagnosis, do anyone have suggestions?
Thank you in advance and sorry for my poor english.

Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 14:20:31 +0100
Hi all,
Jan 25 22:29:24 nyul imapd[4783]: connect from 62.144.130.200
I've got this line in /var/log/secure, and the computer it comes from is
not known by any of the users here...
what even more surprising is that I don't see any messages related to
the login procedure in /var/log/messages, which is usually the case for
normal remote logins
is this some attempt to break in? if so, how can I prevent such things?

Try using a different popper. Last time I looked, the popper [pop mail
server] Slackware uses is the UC Davis popper, which has for all intents
and purposes, not been updated in a long time.
Although there is not freely available popper optimized for security [1],
the latest version of Qpopper is pretty good, and has a lot of features
that the UC Davis popper does not have.
Another option is the popper included with the Washington University IMAP
server, which looks like it has finally taken care of most of the glaring
security problems earlier versions of the IMAP package had. The
disadvantage of this popper is that it is a little bigger, and doesn't
have as many features as Qpopper.
Look here for Qpopper:

There's machine and OS independent way to get *any* hardware related
information (except perhaps the system time).
