Subject: ipfwadm timeout
Date: Thu, 04 Feb 1999 15:19:32 GMT
Does anyone know what the ipfwadm timeout switch does,
i.e. ipfwadm -M -s xxx xxx xxx
1) What are the units of the timeout values?
2) What does the timeout apply to?
I am currently running a Win95 PC behind a Linux firewall with
routing and IP masquerading. My firewall is configured as follows:
ipfwadm -F -p deny
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 10.0.0.0/8 -D 0.0.0.0/0
The problem that I am having is that I am logged into a remote computer
from the Win95 PC using Netterm. The netterm timeouts are turned off
(I think). But the remote computer keeps logging me out after about 10
minutes of inactivity (i.e. I get a cup of java). The remote computer
people
tell me thier computer is not logging me off.
Thanks,

Hi.
After long nights of hard fight I have connected to the web with my Linux
sistem. I have tried to access newsgroups and I was literally going mad to
discover how to mark a message for offline reading. After some good readings
I think that some other configuration is to be made to achieve what I need.
I have dowloaded the last version of leafnode. Can somebody tell me if this
is the right program for me, since my sistem single-user? Where may I found
some more docs than those provided with the package of leafnode itself? If
you think leafnode is not what I need, can you suggest any other tool?
Thank you very much.

If he is selling his capacity off through a modem connected to his computer,
then the ethernet card connected to the cable modem is still the same.
Anyway, with most ethernet cards you can change the MAC as you please.

Well, as long as he's talking about a single phone line (it would certainly
not be financially viable for him to get additional phone lines and try to
make money selling his cable capacity) the maximum bandwidth he could suck
up this way is pretty limited. It is a modem, after all. Not that I think
it's a particularly good idea...

A "cable modem" really is a modem, it MODulate/DEModulates the 10BaseT
to analog cable. What seems to confuse everyone is the extra
capabilities it has. I recommend treating it as a bridge (at least the
Motorola Cybersurfer) as it is only able to communicate directly to
the router at layer 2. It has a layer 3+ snmp app but it doesn't have
a TCP/IP address. BTW I have Comcast also.

Get caught and you'll lose your service, but as of late I'm not so
certain that the service is any better than my dialup was. During peak
times I get 13 sec response times from The athome router (that's the
next hop device)! I've complained to tech support but nothing has come
of it yet.
Tech support doesn't seem to have any problem with me running Linux
but all their training has been geared towards Windows 95 users.

Subject: Linux DNS
Date: Thu, 4 Feb 1999 11:50:27 -0600
Howdy.
I have a rudimentary masquerade configured under Linux 2.2.1 (in fact, I
only issue the ipchains -P forward MASQ command). Currently my goal is
not to get a well-defined masquerade set up, but rather to get DNS working
properly.
In my environment, I have my local network 198.168.1.0 and my corporate
intranet 146.84.0.0. I connect to the intranet via ISDN. The intranet
connects to the world via a firewall.
My hosts file is mundane. My resolv.conf file contains three nameserver
entries--one is localhost and two others are nameservers in the intranet.
My /etc/named.conf is pasted below for reference. The root.hints file is
an empty file. It hangs lookups due to the intranet firewall. Enabling
query-source port 53 was ineffective. Still, it shouldn't be a problem
since I am wanting to rely on the nameservers (/etc/resolv.conf). Perhaps
I am misguided on this point.
The other three entries in /etc/named.conf is for my local domain. Only
one NS entry in the appropriate files (NS stickfigure.bogus.).
My machines on my local net have 192.168.1.1 configured as their gateway
and nameserver. These machines can ping "somehost.stickfigure.bogus" all
day long. However, when they try to ping "somehost.intranet.com" or
"somehost.internet.com", it immediately returns with "unknown host".
The linux localhost (192.168.1.1) can not perform an nslookup on anything
outside of my local network. I would like to fix this. In fact, I
think if I want my other boxes on my local network to work correctly, I
have to fix this. I somehow need to configure a root.hints file that uses
my intranet nameservers??
Resolving names on the linux localhost works via the nameservers listed in
/etc/resolv.conf. I can ping (and successfully resolve) domain names,
browse the web, what have you just fine and dandy... but only from my
linux box. Everything else on the network can not.
One last thing which may be of use, from /var/log/messages:
....: No root nameservers for class IN
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers,
cjr

Actually, they're in there becuase I've been using the LINUX box to do DHCP
and Microsofts brain damaged DHCP client is "picky" about how it wants to see
the response (or so the dhcpd docs say). Thus, I have to put these two
nonsensical routes in there to make MS work with LINUX dhcpd. :P

Yeah, I know, I was just hoping that it would accept a specific network as a
netmask (of course, as you point out, it won't). :(
