Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello, all. I am getting a little frustrated here. Currently, I can browse
the web with no problem, which is why I am stuck here in DejaNews. I can
retrieve mail (manually) from my ISP's w/ fetchmail. I tried the
install-sendmail program from freshmeat.net, for the default sendmail that
came w/ RH 5.2. Couldn't send any mail out. O.K., I really wanted to run
qmail anyway. Except qmail pukes at the ./config stage, saying it can't find
my fully qualified canonical domain name in DNS. I have been in and out of
probably ten different HOWTO's, etc. I am getting the feeling that I am
digging myself in deeper rather than digging my way out of this hole. What I
want is ultimately for my computer to be able to dialup my ISP early in the
morning, via cron, and send and retrieve my mail, as well as any time I go
online to browse, etc.(daemon mode?). I am _trying_ to work my way through
the DNS-HOWTO for a cache-only local DNS server, to speed up browsing a bit.
And ultimately I would like to read all my mail and news thru Netscape
Communicator.
Right now I need help w/ figuring out what it is that is causing qmail
./config to die, and how to fix it. I tried the suggestion in the
Mail-Queue.html linked from the qmail site, which proposed to create a
certain file(/var/qmail/control/me) w/ a local name, and said it didn't need
to be to specific i.e. it gave localhost.localdomain.com as as suggestion.
So I tried hellbilly.navix.net Now when I run ./config, qmail says 'Your
hostname is hellbilly. Hard error. Sorry, I couldn't find your hosts
canonical name in DNS. You will have to set up control/me yourself.' As I
said, this is _after_ I set up /var/qmail/control/me manually per the
mail-queue.html.
Any Ideas?

Hi,
On windows when you connect using a ppp dialup account, it tells you the
connect speed for the session. How can I determine that on Linux? I
know about pppstats, but it doesn't tell you that info, only the current
throughput.
Thanks,

Roberto.. get a copy of the latest version of redhat linux (ver 5.2).
do a "custom" or "server" install and you will have a linux machine
running those services... however, if you are going to do this, and this
machine is going to have an internet connection.. do yourself a favor
are read carefully the "security-HOWTO" located in the redhat directory
/usr/doc/HOWTO . If you want to make directories that are automatically
shared with your windows machines.. read the HOWTO's on "SAMBA" AFTER
reading the security HOWTO.
Take care - Ed

Subject: Windows Problem connecting via IP-Masquerading
Date: Wed, 03 Feb 1999 03:58:22 +0000
Hi,
I have a redhat ver 5.2 linux machine with a static IP that is doing
ip-masquerading just fine with other linux boxes using a dialin ppp
connection.
However, I can't get a windows 98 machine to properly connect to the
linux machine. I connected just fine before ip-masquerading was turned
on.. not that its on, the windows machine appears to connect then drops
the line..
An examination of the /var/log/messages file indicates that the windows
machine is sending what looks like a ppp stream (unprintable characters)
when the linux machine is expecting the user id. After a minute of
this, the linux machine drops the line (as it should).
I've tried several variations on the windows ppp setup without luck.
Maybe someone with more windows experience than myself can identify my
problem, or suggest something I might try.
Thanks - Ed

Subject: New Kernel, NIC is now screwy!
Date: Wed, 03 Feb 1999 05:33:26 GMT
Help. Just got the new 2.2.1 kernel installed but am having
strange problems with my NICs. I can load the recompiled module,
Tulip, for my card or incorporate it in the kernel compilation and it
will see the card. Can then do a "ifconfig eth0 192.168..... etc" and
it works, pinging my other computer is successful. Strange thing is
that ifconfig shows only RX packets no TX. Even when ping flooding!
Also if I don't set the IP, ifconfig shows "[NONE SET]" on it and the
netmask. Where as 2.0.35 kernel will show 0.0.0.0 and the card when
just doing a "ifconfig". Is this part of the problem or just part of
the new kernel?
Is there some other component I need to recompile with the kernel,
besides modules? Any help would be appreciated?
TIA.

Subject: 2 Qs: modem connect speed indication, and mounting file system over
Date: Wed, 03 Feb 1999 14:02:31 -0600
Is there a program or method out there that displays the modem connect
speed?
I sometimes seem to link up at a low baud rate but the modem always
responds with the internal data rate (115K) instead of what it connected
at. Is there any way to get more info from the modem when the line
is dropped, other than the fact that it did?
I also work from home and log onto our SUN boxes at work. What I would
like
to do is be able to mount my directory from work on my home PC so that
I can run my xemacs editor at home, but retrieve and save files to my
work system where all of our EDA tools are. I need the files on the SUN
system in order to do things like VHDL analysis and synthesis.
Thanks for the help.

check the file /etc/hosts
it should contain the line
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost@localdomain
if that's not there, put it in and reboot. if that file is missing,
create it, put this line into the file and reboot.
this sound pretty weird.. I'd consider a clean installation if that does
not work.

startx starts the Linux X server; you don't want that 'cause eXceed is the X server you
want to use.
Here's what you do...
1) Start Exceed
2) Telnet to your Linux box
3) In telnet, display your $DISPLAY variable
if it's not set up, then set it to your NT's
ip address and X display
(i.e. export DISPLAY=192.186.0.10:0 )
4) In telnet, start an Xterm or other X resource; it'll
appear on your Exceed screen.
(i.e. xterm -title 'Remote Xterm' & )
5) If you have started an Xterm, you might as well shut
down your telnet session, and switch to the xterm
for the remainder of your work.
6) At the Xterm prompt, do your thing - you're on X!

Actually, all you need is:
192.168.0.2 lucifer
The lucifer.demon is a fully qualified domain name and is only used
for ip functions (ping, finger, ftp, native linux functions) LMHOSTS
is for netbios resolution which does not use fqdn's. Oddly enough the
netbios name "lucifer" is a completely separate entity than the ip
name "lucifer." This makes it possible for a computer to be know by
the name "lucifer" for ip functions and "badass" for netbios
functions.

Hello everyone,
Another question to appease my Windows users . . . do you know of
software (GNU or commercial) that allows a Linux connected modem to
occasionally be commandeered by a Windows workstation for things like
dialing into banks (much of the account software they provide only
works with dialins). Are there proxys or anything that you know of?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Later, eh.

AFAIK, no. The runtime libs only allow you to _run_ (hence the name ;-)

A quick look at the DHCPcd mini HOWTO (hint, hint!) reveals:
ftp://ftp.kobe-u.ac.jp/pub/PC-UNIX/Linux/network/dhcp/dhcpcd-0.70.tar.gz
Alternatively, you might try one of these:

Subject: Chat script
Date: Wed, 3 Feb 1999 14:54:51 -0000
I am using a Pace external ISDN TA. I use diald to call chat with the
following script.
'ABORT' 'BUSY'
'ABORT' 'ERROR'
'ABORT' 'NO CARRIER'
'ABORT' 'NO DIALTONE'
'ABORT' 'Invalid Login'
'ABORT' 'Login incorrect'
'ABORT' 'Bad Password'
'' 'AT#Z'
'OK' 'ATD01234-56789'
'CONNECT' ''
'ogin:--ogin:--ogin:' 'my_username'
'word:--word:--word:' 'my_password'
'otocol:--otocol:--otocol:' 'ppp'
'TIMEOUT' '5'
'~--' ''
The problem is that sometimes the TA appears to send an extra character (a
'Q' 'T' or 'space') which mucks up the login sequence. This results in the
prompt 'Bad Password' from my ISP (hence the reason I put 'abort on Bad
Password' in the script). However after the 'Bad Password' there is another
'login:' prompt (giving another opportunity to go through the login
sequence). Is there a way of modifying the script to take account of this?
In other words if 'Bad Password' appears then go back to the 'ogin:'
sequence instead of hanging up.
Of course the whole problem may be that my serial device (16550A) is not
fast enough to talk to the TA and I should invest in a fast serial card -
any pointers on this??

I'm an NT turned Redhat 5.2 user trying to get my linux box connected to the
Internet. My modem dials fine and through minicom I can connect to my ISP's
dialup server, and ping to my hearts content the ISP subnet (which happens
to be the University of Virginia)
Here is where my problem arises:
If I start a ppp connection, I receive an IP, it appears to connect
correctly, then I get junk flowing across the screen (which from what I read
is normal) but then it dies 30 seconds later during which time nothing could
get out anyways.
My other alternative was to set up a ppp0 interface using netcfg under the
control panel. This method again seems to dial and connect but will fail
after 30 sec or so. using the command "ifconfig ppp0", it doesn't appear as
though this method ever establishes an IP address.
I would appreciate any tips on which of these methods is the correct
solution and any advice on where I'm going wrong.
Thanks

I was afraid of that. I wonder why so? The hardware (NIC etc) is the
same.

No problem with sharing the Linux box drives of course. But the
problem is in sharing the Windows95 box drives on Netbios over TCP/IP.
I am told this is a security risk (and we are talking very
confidential records here) with Windows that does not exist with
netbios on netbieu due to the fact netbeui won't transfer info over
into the TCP/IP based extra-nets.
If I need to go to Linux, I may just have to set up a process on the
Windows95 machine (used by an employee who won't like someone else
changing their config and may kill the process if it slows them down)
to do the job of file transfer via ftp or some such and then process
the data on the Linux machine after it is transferred. Sigh. Wonder
why we have AppleTalk for Linux but not netbieu for Linux?
