I think that there is a module that you can download
and compile for IRDA for Linux. I briefly tried it
and couldn't get it to work. However, I cannot say that
it wasn't my fault. Try searching the web for LINUX and
IRDA...

Buy the cable. You will not be gaining anything by buying overpriced 3com PCMCIA
cards. Furthermore, I have a 3c589C 3Com PCMCIA ethernet card that won't come
back alive after the laptop goes into powersave mode. On the laptop that I use
this card on, I have to turn off powersave mode. I know this isn't the fault of
the adapter. But it is still a problem for me until it is fixed in the pcmcia
utilities. I have been using Xircom Credit card ethernet adapters 2 that work
great with the new PCMCIA card services from
http://hyper.stanford.edu/HyperNews/get/pcmcia/home.html .
I also have some Billinton NE-2000 compatible PCMCIA cards that are inexpensive
and work great.

Subject: Am I under netbios and httpsd (on Linux) attack?
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 14:57:25 GMT
Hi,
I administer a Linux-based Web server for a customer. It has only ports 80
(open to anyone), 22 (ssh: filtered to allow a few selected originating
addresses) and 20/21 (FTP, also filtered as ssh) available; the others were
disabled or filtered-out by ipfwadm.
Since I was getting a lot of attempts against the Web Server (like php,
nph-test, etc -- all probes against possible CGI scripts), I decided to run
tcpdump for a few days to see what else was going on.
I run four tcpdump processes:
- one to log incoming TCP connections to ports other than 80;
- one to log incoming UDP connections;
- one to log incoming ICMP connections;
- one to log outgoing ICMP replies from this server.
This is what I found:
- TCP probes against port 443 (httpsd - secure web server), although I don't
have it running. I receive syn packets, one or two/second, during a couple
minutes:
(I substituted the real IPs -- here 111.222.333.444 is the attacking machine
and www.myserver.net is my Web server)
11:35:07.732107 111.222.333.444.1037 > www.myserver.net.443: S
764513:764513(0) win 8192 <mss 1460> (DF) 11:36:06.680317

823483:823483(0) win 8192 <mss 1460> (DF)
- UDP probes against port netbios-ns (from originating netbios-ns). I don't
have Samba installed either. This is the "most popular" probe by far:
11:15:44.257393 111.222.333.444.netbios-ns > www.myserver.net.netbios-ns: udp
50 11:15:44.937393 111.222.333.444.netbios-ns > www.myserver.net.netbios-ns:
udp 50 11:15:45.757362 111.222.333.444.netbios-ns >
www.myserver.net.netbios-ns: udp 50 11:15:46.437332
111.222.333.444.netbios-ns > www.myserver.net.netbios-ns: udp 50
11:15:48.117271 111.222.333.444.netbios-ns > www.myserver.net.netbios-ns: udp
50 11:15:49.577241 111.222.333.444.netbios-ns > www.myserver.net.netbios-ns:
udp 50 11:15:51.047181 111.222.333.444.netbios-ns >
www.myserver.net.netbios-ns: udp 50
- TCP probes against FTP: again, ftpd is running but filtered out to allow
connections from a few selected addresses only.
09:56:03.642449 111.222.333.444.1062 > www.myserver.net.ftp: S
1167193:1167193(0) win 8192 <mss 1460> (DF)
09:56:09.402267 111.222.333.444.1092 > www.myserver.net.ftp: S
1195662:1195662(0) win 8192 <mss 1460> (DF)
09:56:12.752176 111.222.333.444.1092 > www.myserver.net.ftp: S
1195662:1195662(0) win 8192 <mss 1460> (DF)
09:56:19.231964 111.222.333.444.1092 > www.myserver.net.ftp: S
1195662:1195662(0) win 8192 <mss 1460> (DF)
I receive several attempts an hour. All the above probes received no answer
because I configured ipfwadm or disabled the services.
I reverse-scanned some of the attackers; the machines that were probing my
netbios-ns port had one common configuration:
- *no* ports are open (from 1 to 600, at least); - ports 137 to 139 are
filtered (by my scanner detected them) - there is no way to contact anything
on the attacking machine; - it might be a single person coming from different
dialup accounts, or a group with identical configurations. - are these
carefully configured Unix machines (that hide everything), or are simple
vanilla Windows machines without any other services besides netbios?
This is a scan sample:
Interesting ports on (111.222.333.444):
Port State Protocol Service
137 filtered tcp netbios-ns
138 filtered tcp netbios-dgm
139 filtered tcp netbios-ssn
Just in one case I found an attacker using a Linux PC with port 25 open; I
politely told him (on email to root) that unfortunately Samba was not
installed in my server. The probe ceased a few seconds later and the machine
disconnected.
I don't know what this all means. If the probes resulted negative on httpsd,
ftpd and netbios, why do they continue so frequently? Or are there "popular"
attacks, so I have tons of people trying it just because it is easy? Anyway,
I see some insistent probes coming from the same ISPs, with the same profile
(including what I find with reverse-scanning) repeatedly. This gives me the
impression that there is something else that keep some people trying over and
over.
Would anyone comment please?
Thanks,
Bill.

I've found some problems with the amd automount daemon amd-6.0a16-4
on RedHat5.2,
so I've upgraded to amd-6.0a16-5
but now the amd daemon refuse tu ron because
it cannot find the __bzero symbol in the .so libraries...
libc.so.6 seems responsible
does anybody know how to correct this problem.
I've had the same thing with sndconfig befor,
but I've uninstalled all because this was not essentiel...
last question:
all I want in fact is to automount
-cdrom
-floppy with PCFS
-samba remote volume
all should work with cdfs, pcfs, and program mount types
but I' was unable to make it work...

Subject: Masquerading and battle.net/Diablo
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 16:44:29 +0100
Hello,
[This is a detailed message for people who want to try
this at home themselves. Abstract: I can't get Diablo
to connect to Battle.net with Linux 2.2.0. Help!]
I have set up a Linux box with 2.2.0 kernel and two NE2000
cards, eth0 to the Internet and eth1 to our LAN. A firewall
has been set up with a script that I found (I can't find
the URL anymore, sorry) somewhere, and at the same time it
masqs all LAN machines. Works like a charm.
So far, so good. Now, I'm trying to get Diablo to work on
my Win98 machine. Call me hooked... ;-) It's hard to find
good documentation on this kind of stuff, but according to
"http://dijon.nais.com/~nevo/masq/games.html" I should use
something like (translated for 2.2.0 with ipmasqadm):
ipmasqadm autofw -A -r udp 6112 6112 -c tcp 116
ipmasqadm autofw -A -r udp 6112 6112 -c tcp 118
Unfortunately Diablo still says:
"Searching for the fastest Battle.net server"
...
"Your internet connection is either very poor or is
not processing UDP packets."
So, I temporarily flushed all ipchains rules, added rules
to log all traffic and tried again to connect to see what
happens under water:
ipchains -F input
ipchains -F forward
ipchains -F output
ipchains -A input -l
ipchains -A forward -l
ipchains -A output -l
[...try connecting from Windows...]
ipchains -D input -l
ipchains -D forward -l
ipchains -D output -l
For the trained eye everything should be clearly visible
now in /var/log/messages. But alas... My eye lacks some
serious IP training! ;-)
Does anyone know what I should be looking for? I can see
that the Win98 box is connecting to lots of hosts on port
6112, and that some of those are communicating back to the
Linux box on ports ranging from 61017 to 61024, and there
is some communication from and to the Win98 box on ports
1044 to 1050. I see no traffic whatsoever on ports 116 or
118, which is probably why the autofw didn't work.
My questions are: where do I go from here? Which values do
I need to set up a succesful forwarding scheme, and which
commands should I use? Where can I find some documentation
on the values logged by ipchains?
Thanks in advance,
Greetings,
Patrick

Great reply, Brian. insult the programs on the OS that we all love.. Cause
dissention in the ranks so Bill Gate$ and his billion$ can take over the whole

nslookup works just fine, Steve, you just need to change one thing..
'host.conf'
order dns,hosts,bind
trim sjh.net.
Also making your DNS reverse resolve as Brian suggested will help as well.
Email me directly if you need help with that, so we can keep the 'This and That is

Subject: masquerading: what's left for me to do?
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 10:04:40 -0500
I've got a MediaOne express hookup, and
I'm trying to masq a win98 box behind it.
I've gotten two 3c509 cards to coexist in
the linux box, which is running
Linux version 2.0.34 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.7.2.3) #1 Fri May 8
16:05:57 EDT 1998
by the way.
I've gotten the win98 box and the linux box
to talk to each other. ping, telnet, ftp,
all that good stuff.
I've configured the win98 machine to be
192.168.1.2, and the linux box, at 192.168.1.1,
to be its gateway. I told the win98 machine
the numbers of the nameservers in the linux
box's resolv.conf .
I've run depmod -a and did a bunch of modprobes
to load all the ip_masq_* modules.
(Probably voodoo: i.e. it doesn't help
if masq support isn't in the kernel and
I'm not using quake or irc currently
anyway.)
I issued
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24
(and variants thereof),
so that an ipfwadm -f -l yielded, IIRC:
acc/m 192.168.1.0 anywhere n/a
And after all this (which was nowhere as easy
as I'm making it sound) my win98 machine
still can't reach the outside world.
I haven't gotten any errors, or any indication
that my kernel doesn't support masquerading.
(And I'm still looking for a way to profile
my kernel to find out. Any hints appreciated!)
So basically:
(1) What's left for me to do?
(2) Where can I look to see what I'm doing wrong.
Suggestions to recompile the kernel or upgrade
to RH5.2 or to use the new 2.2.0 kernel will be
forwarded to /dev/null unless accompanied by
detailed and persuasive reasoning.
Thanks, everybody, for all your help up to this
point, and thanks in advance for trying to get
me across the finish line.

Well, I'm actually running 2.2.1 right now. There's a patch (24 Kb) on
the kernel ftp-sites.

Matt,
I am using Debian.
I will try to that. Also I was wondering
if I edit /etc/init.d/network, will this do the job?

a win 95 Computer ?
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 10:06:14 -0600
Here's what I did:
1) Install wingate on the win95 machine. I'll assume that's done.
2) Network between Linux and win95.... I'll assume that's done as well,
since you said you can telnet.
3) In Netscape, under edit preferences you find advanced tab, then
proxies. Click to view manual proxy setting. Type in your win95 ip
address under http, port 80. I added the ftp port 21 as well but I get
a "this port disabled for security reasons" message that I haven't had
time to chase down. I just open up an xterm window and go through the
ftp process manually.
No special settings in wingate from the default. No special settings in
linux other than having the tcp/ip network functional between the two
machines.

Why not leave all of your machines on? I have seven machines on a small LAN
at home. I leave all my boxes up 24x7.
It does not make much sense to have a network and not have all machines
available at anyone time. I know you are using yours as a gateway/router to
the outside, and that seems all the more reason to leave that box up.
Yes there is APM support in the 2.0.36 + kernel if you compile it in.
All I do is turn off my display after logging off a box. I rarely even turn
on the display on either of my servers since I usually just telnet in and do
what I want or export the display to the client box that I am on. I don't
have my disks spin down or anything as I always disable the power management
features anyway.
I do have a UPS for each system mainly to absorb power fluctuations but in
the event of a power outage it gives me enough time to cleanly bring down my
boxes.
By the way my oldest box is over four years old same disks et all, and has
been purring along minus planned downtime for moves and other system
maintenance without a hiccup. I did replace a CPU cooler and the case fan ,
but only as a proactive measure.
have fun

It's called EQL. Your service provide must also support this feature (ie
thru hardware).
Kernel Compile Options:
Network device support --->
[*] Network device support
<*> EQL (serial line load balancing) support
To configure EQL you will need the eql tools which are available from:
sunsite.unc.edu
