That is a lot of collisions...far too many for only 2 stations on a small
hub. One thing to take a look at is the duplex settings on the network
cards. I had a similar problem on a much larger network recently, where it
turned out that the switch I was uplinking to was set to full-duplex and my
hub, and later switch, were only set to half. I had about a 5% collision
rate.
Good Luck

Subject: netatalk (Samba) problems
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 15:20:23 +0100
Hello,
I have some questions/problems with my RedHat 5.2 / Samba 1.9.18 /
netatalk 1.42 configuration:
1) I have a folder "secret". I manage the access to this volume for the
PC clients via /etc/group and the smb.conf file. Only the group SECRET
has RW-permissions to this folder. This works fine. A MAC client has a
.AppleVolumes file in his home directory with an entry for this volume.
But he has no W-permissions, because netatalk sees only his dafault
group (i.e. USERS). How can I change this?
2) If I copy very large files (>15 MB) from a Linux box to a local disk
of a MAC, the MAC kills the connection to the Linuxserver after a long
time. Is there a solution for this timeout problem?
Thanks
Stefan Kluthe

pppd reports on the daemon log and various loglevels.
daemon.* /var/log/messages
should already be in your syslog.conf. In fact the messages he is gettin
show that it is there.

ALSO put the line
local2:* /var/log/messages
into /etc/syslog.conf.
It is a well hidden secret that chat uses the local2 logging . (The only
place I found it was in the source code.)

Subject: [Q] Is there a Linux specific problem with signal and socket ?
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 10:42:14 +0100
Hello,
I have problems using sockets and signals on my RH5.1 Linux box (Kernel
2.0.34)
I want to have a SIGIO or SIGURG signal each time data is available on a
socket.
I found a short example in <<An Advanced Socket Communication Tutorial>>
(http://viks.mvrop.org/networking/sock_advanced_tut.html) but it don't work
(data are exchanged correctly but no signals are sentto my process)
I also try with the source code example from W.R. Stevens 's book :
(UNIX Network Programming, Volume 1, Second Edition: Networking APIs:
Sockets and XTI
http://www.kohala.com/~rstevens/unpv12e.html.) but it doesn't work too.
I'am wondering my code is wrong or if it is a Linux related problem ?
Does somebody have any other example of such use of socket and
signal under Linux (or more documentation) ?
(a complete program will be great - perhaps I've missed something )
Thanks

This is one of the (simplified) code i used :
int on = 1;
signal(SIGIO,SignalHandler);
signal(SIGURG,SignalHandler2);
socketfd=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,0);
my_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
my_addr.sin_port = htons(DEST_PORT);
my_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(DEST_IP);
bzero(&(my_addr.sin_zero),8);
result =
bind(socketfd,(struct sockaddr*)&my_addr,sizeof(struct
sockaddr));
listen(socketfd,BACKLOG);
sin_size = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in);
newfd = accept(socketfd,&their_addr,&sin_size);
/* Taken from Advanced Socket Com... */
/* Set the process receiving SIGIO/SIGURG signals to us */
pgrp=getpid();

}
/* Allow receipt of asynchronous I/O signals */

Subject: amd and samba/smbmount
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 12:06:24 GMT
Hi all,
A quick question. I am using smbmount to mount a samba share on a
remote machine, and amd to manange that mount. When my machine is
rebooted, I cannot see the contents of the samba mount, ie get:
smb_dont_catch_keepalive: server->data_ready == NULL
nfs_stat_to_errno: bad nfs status return value: 255
>ls smb/
ls: smb/: Input/output error
Even though the mount seems succesful.
If I stop amd and restart it, I can then see the contents okay.
My amd.conf:
============
[global]
auto_dir = /.automount
log_file = /var/log/amd
log_options = fatal,error,nomap,nowarn,noinfo
cache_duration = 900
restart_mounts = no
dismount_interval = 900
unmount_on_exit = yes
[ /mnt/net ]
map_name = /etc/amd.conf.net
My amd.conf.net:
================
/defaults fs:=${autodir}/root/${rhost};opts:=nosuid,nodev
#* rhost:=${key};type:=host;rfs:=/
name type:=program;fs:=${autodir}/name;mount:="/usr/sbin/smbmount
smbmount //machine/name ${fs} -P pass -c localmachine -u 412 -g 400 -f
700";unmount:="/bin/umount umount ${fs}"
Any ideas what causes the error?

Check out Squid :

The new password acl in 2.2 will do exactly what you want. The
documentation for 2.2 is a little light at the moment, but squid is very
scaleable and would serve you well.

You will *never* use MS proxy as it only works with propietry MS
magic. However you can just switch the proxies and masqerading gateway
to Linux to fix that problem. Linux is generally more stable and
better under stress anyway. The TIS fwtk (FireWall ToolKit) has lots
of proxies with security designed into them from the start. TIS allow
you to download it for free.
Moving on to sharing the files you can use samba 2.0 to share the
files with Windows easily. It can do its own passwords, be a master
password server or ask another NT or Samba server. You will need to
replicate user names but can leave * in the password filed in /etc/passwd.
smbfs works well in the other directorion but the security is cripled
by NT brain damage which authenticates whole machines, which is silly
if you might have multiple users on a single machine. (This is clearly not
a Linux problem and can not be fixed on Linux).
If you want to use the NT passwords for logins then PAM has a module
which will speak SMB password verification to a server.
Linux GUI apps will works fine on windows via VNC or your favorite
Windows X server. X is a network protocol and this is a big win in
networked environments. Exporting Windows apps to Linux is much less
smooth due to limitations of windows. (VNC can do it but only one user
per NT box).
I think this make Linux integrate *better* then real windows.

Firstly I'd like to appologise for the cross post
(comp.os.linux.networking and comp.protocols.smb)
I have a network of Windoze and Linux Boxes, and am trying to migrate
all the windows stuff to Linux.
So far proxy stuff, dialup server and dial in server has moved. I am
however having a problem with Samba and NT/9x boxes that dial in.
On the local network, Windoze and Linux talk happily with smb, when I
disconnect a windows box from the local net an get it to dial in to the
server, all authentication is fine, ppp starts, I can telnet, ftp, ping
etc from the windows machine to all the unix machines on the net, but
none of the SMB Stuff works.
After trawling through the FAQ's and HOWTO's I could not find anything
specific to my problem.
I am relatively new to this so it may be something simple thats screwing
up, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Subject: Home network: What hardware on client and server?
I'm building a home network based on a server permanently connected to
the internet, and a client workstation. The server will be a web
server/email receiver that must always stay up. I'm not sure which good
bits to put on the client and what on the server. The LAN will probably
be 100MBS ethernet.
The server can have a crappy graphics card, and maybe no monitor at all.
The client will have a 21" monitor and a graphics card with lots of
memory.
Option 1: Should I plan to run everything off of the server and have the
client as almost just an X Server? (Well the client would probably I
guess have a swap disk and small local partition?). Will the performance
of this suck? In other words should I build a really BEEFY server, with
SCSI disks etc and a weak client?
Option 2: The middle option. Run all my apps on the client, but mount
all my data via NFS from the server?
Option 3: Should I consider the server to be basicly just a router and
internet server and put all my real data on the client? The performance
may be better but it wouldn't allow me to access my data from other
places on the internet if I need to. (Well I could, but that would mean
leaving my client workstation on all the time too which seems silly.)
My Gut says go with option 2. Can anyone elaborate on the performance
implications?
But according to which options, where should I bother with SCSI disks?
If the server only has one disk and a small number of users connected
(mainly just one) then I guess SCSI is probably overkill. And in this
case being just a file server it shouldn't be much in need of a fast
swap partition on a separate disk. So I'm wondering if SCSI is overkill.
The client would have a bare OS and SWAP on the local drive, and most fs
mounted on NFS so I'm guessing that SCSI would also be not too useful
here.
Please CC any responses to my email thanks.

Subject: Re: Cable Modem on Linux - use dhcpcd 1.3.17
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 09:12:15 -0500
Same here. Newbie RH user who had better get his cablemodem working or is
stuck using a 14.4 modem. That's some motivation.
The dhcpcd (DHCP client daemon) in RH5.2 is 0.70, and apparently IPv4 broke
some parts of it, especially the parts cablemodems use. dhcpcd 0.70 Connects
fine to my NT DHCP server, but it won't initialize the LANCity cablemodem.
So, I started on the quest to upgrade to dhcpcd 1.3.17
(http://www.phystech.com), but it will require some shenanigans on our part
to get it to work on RH5.2. It was easy enough to install, downloaded it to
/tmp and ran:
>tar (options I can't remember) dhcpcd-1.3.17.tar.gz
>cd dhcpcd-1.3.17
>make install
But I got "modprobe: can't locate module net-pf-17" on boot up. What was all
this stuff? My conf.modules was only a couple of lines for my ne2000 isa
NIC. "modprobe -c" showed that I had net-pf-1 thru -5 aliases set for
various protocals, although I had nothing to do with that. I am just trying
to get a basic IP ethernet, plus the cablemodem.
Anyhow, you have to have a kernel recompiled for SOCK_PACKET support for
dhcpcd, apparently. Nice little task for a newbie linux user... That's
taking me a few days to get right, make fumbles out with some error about
this or that missing package. I'm re-adding every relevant package I can fit
right now, wishing I had enough space for a server class install.
You won't find SOCK_PACKET in "make config", the recommendation I've gotten
so far is to add the line "CONFIG_PACKET=y" to the generated .config after
you run make config. Where in the file it goes, I'm only guessing. Then
again, I haven't gotten through a successful build yet, so I can't confirm
that that's it.
I'd like to just go up to the 2.2 kernel, but RH5.2 leaves you with a whole
bunch of packages you have to upgrade first to be prepared. (see below) I'm
going to try that next if this build doesn't work out.
So the short recommendation is: Get dhcpcd.1.3.17, recompile a kernel with
SOCK_PACKET support, and pray that this was all worth it. Send word if you
have any luck.

Hello Matthieu,
You need to get the latest version of Netatalk+asun from a site like
ftp.cc.gatech.edu or sunsite (sunsite.unc.edu)....go to the
/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/contrib directory there and get anything
with the word netatalk+asun. Then install with rpm (rpm -ivh *.rpm,
assuming you only have one rpm package in that directory of course)....
Then go to the /etc/atalk directory on your PC and look for the four or
five configuration files.....
In atalk.conf you will need to put a line like
eth0 -phase2 -net 0-xxxx -addr xxxx.
Then go to the afpd.conf file and insert something like:
MyLinuxBox -cleartext (kind of a security issue but it
works) -port 12000.
This should make your linux box appear in the chooser as
myLinuxBox.....Also, look in AppleVolumes.default and add lines for the
volumes you would like your mac to have access to.
I use something like
/ All (at the end of the file)
This give my mac access to all the directories on every volume
available.
Hope this works and helps you out...Good luck!
Sincerely,
Brian Gilman

Does anyone know if there is a maximum number of IP Addresses that can be
aliased on one interface?
Thanks...Jill.

Loose the :0 in that route line. eth0:0 is a alias, not a device.
Might even wanna add a netmask parameter to it.

I know some about ppp but almost nothing about mgetty, just for the record.

+pap and -chap are options for ppp-2.2.0 and are not in the 2.3.5 man pages
and may not still be supported. The correct options for 2.3.5 are
require-pap and refuse-chap .
: Then here is my log messages with kdebug 7 debug
The kdebug is not ordinary needed for debugging and just makes the log
hard to read. The debug messages should go into /var/log/debug although
it depends on how /etc/syslog.conf is set up. See "man syslog.conf".

The 29 seconds between Connect and Hangup is consistent with the LCP
negotiations going nowhere at the very beginning of ppp negotiations.
It also could be due to the erroneous +pap option. The log will tell
the story.
