Caldera seems to be primarily targeting organizations that want to
install *relatively* "embedded" server systems. They are selling
distributions that cost considerably more than Red Hat's, and
apparently are much more aggressively providing (paid for) customer
service and handholding.
Red Hat hasn't thus far been targeting that nearly as much or as well.
Red Hat's lower prices are not supportive of high levels of service,
but do make adoption cheaper, which attracts users.
>For those that are interested, what do you feel Caldera can do to make

The main things that they can do are the things that they *are* doing.
a) Bundle in support for Novell Netware and DR-DOS. This is decidedly
valuable in departmental computing environments where the Linux system
has to fit in with existing DOS and Novell systems. Other
distributions do very well, but it is of benefit to some customers to
*really* directly support these technologies.
b) COAS represents one of the two major "system administration
projects" (the other being Linuxconf). Since Caldera is directly
supporting COAS, it's pretty likely that their distribution will be
well supported by it.
I don't think either of these factors will cause Caldera installs to
outnumber Red Hat installs any time soon. That can still leave
Caldera as a quite viable company.
(And if they get any judgement money out of MSFT, that's liable to be
a *PILE* of money, of which I'd expect a little to sprinkle down into
producing software for Linux...)

Yes and no... =) PnP is confusing and not wholly reliable - main point - make sure

RH5.2 (2.0.36 kernel) does - if it isn't it should be available as a module. (You
don't really need
to recompile the kernel these days.)

Interesting...
On my machine using modules I didn't find this to be a problem.
sample modules.conf
aliase ne eth0
options ne irq=11,12 io=0x240,0x260
The first set of parameters is assingned to eth0, and the second to eth1. (I've tried
this with the
options the other way around and it works.)
Using lilo to pass parameters to the kernel you could do:
append ether=11,0x240,eth0 ether=12,0x260,eth1
...and...
append ether=12,0x260,eth0 ether=11,0x240,eth0
if you wanted them the other way around.
Great stuff in giving such help to all!!!! =)
I hope what I've told you helps your ethernet card management.
All the best...!
Michael.

Where did you get Linux 5.2? AFAIK the latest is 2.2.0-pre9.

I have just installed two NE2000 clones in our Linux box, both were
detected just fine, although I needed to add a line to /etc/lilo.conf
to enable the 2.0.36 kernel to detect the second card.
To make your kernel detect your card, check /etc/conf.modules (or use
linuxconf if you don't like to change files manually). Mine says:
alias eth0 ne
options eth0 io=0x340
It was not necessary to include the IRQ, that was detected automagically!
In fact, at first I _did_ use a wrong IRQ, and the module loaded just
fine but refused to work. By leaving out the "irq=" part, I discovered
the cards real IRQ!
If I remember correctly, I inserted the module for the first card with
insmod ne io=0x340
But then again, that was two days ago. Yesterday I switched to kernel 2.2.0
and compiled the NE2000 driver into the kernel, not as a module. I suggest
you try insmod'ing the module with different io addresses to find the working
one.
Greetings,
Patrick

I have a Gateway Solo 5100 and I'm dual-booting Win98 and Slackware 3.6 and
Slackware would hang on the boot after detecting the PCMCIA slots until I

Dear Networkers:
Please bear with me, I have been at this all afternoon.
As you will be able to conclude from all that is below, I need to either
A) load the SMBFS module, that is bresent in my system but not supported
by my kernel or B) Install Samba which has an SMBFS client to handle
what I want done.
I need a little assistance to do either,.......please
To do A),....can I use the available insmod command ? If so, I
think I need a little syntax help.
To do B),....would the version called "samba-latest.tar.gz" do
the trick,...again, if so where should I load it,...?
For now I simply need to have Apache, on the Linux, retreive and serve
the Home Pages which are on the WindowsNt 4.00.1381.
I started with these requests, which were really quite quickly responded
to,.....
1) Has this problem been addressed ? I went through all the
FAQs and the whole Virtual Hosts documentation and cannot see where I am
erring.
Scenario; I have a small LAN, the DNS Server is on Linux
and the Webserver is Apache.
I want the Apache to respond to any HTTP
query for www.continuuminternational.com with a Home Page which resides
on a Windows NT Workstation which is within my LAN. Everytime I restart
my Apache after having reconfigured the httpd.conf file, I get the
following response referring only to the re-direct which is off my DNS
server and on the NT. (I am planning to load the NT with alot of
Virtual Sites since it has a huge hard-disk): Warning ! Document Root
<NT.IP.number/directory/index.htm> DOES NOT EXIST.
My httpd.conf file configuration is as follows:
<VirtualHost NT.IP.number>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot NT.IP.number/directory/index.htm
ServerName www.foo.com
</VirtualHost>
I have tried all kinds of combinations with both the IP #s and the names
and even reversed the / to \. I still get the same response. And by
the way, what ahppens to the Log fies, I assume they are maintained by
the NT since it controls the file once served.
2) So, I set a Share on the NT, the whole drive is shared, but when I
went back to the Linux(2.0.29BTW), I found I have no manual at all for
the smbmount command, suggested to use to mount the shared directory.
May I be so bold as to ask you for the syntax for such a
command that I would then write in
back of DocumentRoot,...?
I thought I would mount the share onto /nt,........ ; . )
ps,...yes, there is a web server on the NT and yes, Apache is on the
Linux,......I don't usually include
/index.html in the DocumentRoot but, as I said, I was really
frustrated,...thanks for the assistance,..
Sincerely,
Robert Verdicchio

Date: Sat, 30 Jan 1999 08:25:26 GMT
Linux2.0.33, libc5, mgetty 1.1.8-Jul27 (tried even with the last available
from the ftp site) My settings: I use diald, so that I've a modified routing
table; in diald.conf I put 192.168.0.1 as my local ip address (It's not my
real local address but diald manuals says it's ok).
Looking at the diald log I see that everytime a connection is starting, there
are packets going from 192.168.0.1 to my ISP's DNS server (written in
resolv.conf)
So, among the packets which are "accepted" from diald there are those from the
Linux machine:
Jan 25 21:49:37 i3 diald[253]: filter ignored rule 10 proto 17 len 57 packet
192 .168.0.1,1738 => 194.243.154.62,53
This happens even if the connection originates from a PC on my lan; and only
if mgetty is in respawn on that serial port; I tried leaving only "debug 5"
in mgetty.config but to no avail.
The same happens If I access the modem with cu:
cu -l ttyS0
when, after "connected", I press a key the packets starts going.
To find out what name those packets were trying to resolve, I set up named,
and put 127.0.0.1 in resolv.conf Now doing "cu -l ttyS0" I have:
ns_req(from [127.0.0.1].1758)

and packets starts going towards all the servers in root.hints.

;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 19007
;; flags: rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; diald, type = A, class = IN
req: nlookup(diald) id 19007 type=1 class=1
req: missed 'diald' as '' (cname=0)
findns: np 0x80ab0a0 ''

ns_forw()

nslookup(nsp=0xbffff6d8, qp=0x80c7be8, "diald")
nslookup: NS "G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET" c=1 t=2 (flags 0x3)
.......
.........
What's the reason of those dns lookups, and why this happens only with mgetty
on the port?
Thanks.

Subject: Another poor sap with DIALD problems
Date: 31 Jan 1999 01:56:37 GMT
Hi all!
After much experimentation, I finally got DIALD to dial out when
appropriate. This took a bit of experimenting and guesswork as the
docs are quite insufficient. Anyhow, on to my problem...
Once the connection is made and ppp0 shows up in ifconfig, the
connection does not work. Route -N shows no gateway being configured.
The pppon script is exactly the same as the one I use to start the
connection manually. In this manner, the connection works correctly
including the route table showing a configured gateway.
What the heck am I doing wrong here?
System is my private network gateway, ip: 192.168.10.1. ISP is ATT
Worldnet. Private network has 4 more nodes on it. Using kernel
2.0.34 from Slackware 3.5. Dial-out is USR Courier v.everything on
dedicated line. diald.conf and pppon.diald scripts are immediately
available for review if this will help.
HELP!

Try not to export these directories as these are needed to initialize the
kernel modes, instead mount these from a tftp directory via bootp request
(foe ex. /tftpboot/192.168.0.2/sbin ../bin etc.).
Hope this helps.

Hardy:
have you tried this?
dig domain.com
?
It will return as much information as it can find from the network at
domain.com, including MX records, etc.
Hope this helps.

Hi...i'm using the 2.2.1 kernel and every time I use ifconfig and set an
ip on a device, it automatically sets a route for it, how would i
disable that in order to set a manual route for a tunnel device
