Subject: Strange dhcpcd with Linux 2.2.0
Date: Wed, 03 Feb 1999 22:11:55 GMT
Ok, here's a good one for somebody to help me with. I upgraded to Linux
2.2.0, also getting the latest dhcpcd. I booted into the new kernel, but
then realized that I forgot to install the new dhcpcd, so the old one tried
to run, but failed, which is to be expected, since it isn't supposed to work
with 2.2. So I just made sure it wasn't running, and ran the new one. It
said the pid file was there, and told me to delete it before running. So I
deleted the file, and re-ran the new dhcpcd. Fine, it gave me an IP address.
I make sure it all works, and then go into /etc/rc.d and edit my scripts to
run the new dhcpcd. On the next reboot it didn't work.
So here's the story. After playing around with different ways of having the
scripts run dhcpcd, I am down to this: The only way I can get dhcpcd to work
is to run ifconfig and route in rc.inet1, and run the old dhcpcd. Then I let
the rest of the scripts run. I login as root, wait a few seconds, run the
new dhcpcd, letting it tell me to delete the pid file, then I delete the
file, and run the new dhcpcd again. It's the only way I've gotten it to
work. If I do anything else, it times out waiting for a reply from the dhcp
server. Of course, I'd like it to work the way it's supposed to, but I just
can't. Could anybody help me with this?

There are patches for IRIX 5.3+ for Y2K compliance. This is kinda
important since I think you'd have to have hardware upgrades to have

I didn't want to go through the code. So I just watched it renew. No...
my dhcpcd does not call the script on renewal.
That's ok. I can monitor the connection in a different way...

Subject: How to block Routing btween eth? but not ppp?
Date: Wed, 03 Feb 1999 16:14:16 GMT
I can't figgure out how to set my routing table to *not* route between eth0
and eth1 while maintaining the other routing config.
The basic layout is: I've got a LINUX box here at work acting as a
diald/ipmasq server to the ISP (AT&T Worldnet). Due to our current network
configuration, I have two NIC's (eth0 = 10BaseT segment = IP 192.168.1.1
Netmask 255.255.255.0, eth1 = 100BaseT segment = IP 192.168.2.1 Netmask
255.255.255.0), both of which route to eachother and the rest of the
(Inter)network.
These segments are connected elsewhere (along with 2 others for a 4 segment
network) on a Novel Netware 3.1 Server. Netware 3.1 *only* does IPX and won't
do IP (without special patchs/addons that we didn't install) so this works OK.
The 4 Segment Netware server simply ignors/drops the IP packets and everything
is happy.
However, we are getting ready to move to a Netware 5 installation (same 4
segment server running Netware 5) which *does* do native IP and will, of
nessesity, forward IP packets between it's 4 NIC's (192.168.1.254,
192.168.2.254, 192.168.3.254, 192.168.4.254, all at netmask 255.255.255.0).
Now, I don't want to create a "loop" where the Netware server passes packets
from setment one to segment two (the segments on which eth0 and eth1 are on)
and then have eth0 <-> eth1 pass the packts and flood my network with a never
ending stream of packet!
Thus, it seems the most logical thing to do would be to let eth0 and eth1 keep
routing to ppp0 (and actually sl0 because of diald) by *not* to each other.
What can I do? Any ideas? I don't really know much about modifying routing
tables or anything other than the *basics* of the route command, so keep it to
baby steps *please*.
Here is my current routing table (with ppp0 up thanks to diald):
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.0.0.2 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 1 0 0 sl0
255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 19 eth1
255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 8 eth0
199.69.211.166 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 38 eth0
192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 23 eth1
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 13 lo
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 1 0 55 sl0
I suspected some sort of route command like:
route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 192.168.2.0 reject
but obviously this is labled as a "bogus" netmask, so I'm completely clueless.
The easist solution is to just yank the 10BaseT card and let Netware to all
the segment routing. This is what I intend to do in the end, but for now,
because of DHCPD considerations (I'm running it on the LINUX box) and "dual
implementation," etc. I would really like to know how to address this
problem.
Thank you,

Theoretically, yes. It wouldn't be a true ISP connection though becuase you
only get 1 IP address and use IP masquerading. Besides, you wanna guess how
many modems and phone lines you'd need?

I believe that the answer will depend on which version you are using.
In either case you have access to both the manpage and the source

We have a dual PII running kernel 2.0.36/ RedHat 5.2. The kernel was I think rebuilt
for dual processors and without modules, with support for DEC DC21041.
Recently the machine seems to keep closing network connections (xterm, telnet,
ssh etc.). There are quite a few messages in the syslog like
"kernel: Appletalk 0.17 ..." which methinks comes from net/appletalk/ddp.c
with a note "Called by proto.c on kernel start up". The machine does not actually
halt or stop any other running processes.
Is there a connection between these things, and what does it indicate ?
We've had some pest scanning our domain recently, but I don't think they succeeded
in breaking in to anything, otherwise we initially suspected someone actually killing
processes.

Subject: Announcing C-Kermit 7.0 for Beta testing
Date: 4 Feb 1999 00:49:54 GMT
This is to announce a (hopefully) brief public Beta testing period for a
major new release of C-Kermit for UNIX, VMS, AOS/VS, and other platforms:
Version 7.0, to replace version 6.0 of September 1996.
The changes are significant, and there are far to many of them to list here.
Chief among them are:
. Configurability as an Internet service, similar to FTPD, but with
far more features and greater flexibility.
. Availability of Kerberos IV and V and SRP (TMs) security (USA and
Canada only).

This page lists and describes the new features, and contains links to
further information and to the software itself: source code, tar and zip
archives, and selected individual binaries for many platforms.
Special thanks to Jeff Altman for his key role in the design and development
of many of C-Kermit 7.0's most important new features. Thanks also to the
many contributors and testers, and to those companies, institutions, and
individuals who provided other forms of assistance including manuals,
equipment, advice, system access for building and testing, binaries,
reports, suggestions, and encouragement.
Please send any bug reports, remarks, or questions to:

And if you can make any binaries that we can't make ourselves, please let
us know.
Thanks!
