This is NOT a kernel bug. Rather, these messages are generally caused by
hardware problems.For more information look at linux/Documentatio/Changes

Hi,
I am trying to set up my Amiga 3000 with Mercury '040 accelerator card as a
Linux Box/Internet Firewall. I have a QuickNet ethernet card, and have been
unable to find drivers for this. Can anyone either provide me with, or

ncsa_auth works fine with squid. I'm using it right now and it works very
well...
you need to create password files (either using htpasswd or something else) and
specify it on your
acl control (squid.conf).
authenticate_program /path/to/ncsa_auth /path/to/passwordfile
and put the appropriate access rules for this acl control

I'm running 5.2 suse and had no probs.
Heres what you do.
As stated by others switch of dhcp. on the linux box.
to do this use yast
Whilst in yast find the option to start amd switch it
on find the option for samba switch it on
after this a the console type ifconfig and look at what IP address
you are using
on the Windows box start teh netwoking control applet and make sure
you are running tcp/ip if not use add/protocol/microsoft/tcpip
configure the stack with the same IP address range as the linux box
restart windows and ping the linux box address
if all goes well ip will work and then telnet ftp etc is usable.
to configure samba follow the readmes

you'd have to setup a ppp server on the windows nt box for dialin(really a
direct serial connect) with ras and just setup Linux/win95 with serial ppp
connections.

I'm not sure BREAK does what you want or think. A break condition
is a historical artifact of serial communications dating back to
the good old teletype. Strictly it is an interruption of the
transmitter carrier for more than x ms and is not part of the normal
character stream. When a modern modem (or TA) detects a break
condition it _usually_ flushes its compression and error correction
buffers. It _may_ forward the break to the remote, it _may_ renegotiate.
It may just go belly up...
Often break detection isn't used anymore and a break condition
just generates spurious characters and/or framing/parity errors
(which may not be detected and may be handled as real characters
themselves...).
In short, don't use BREAK :-).
What you _can_ do is to put your chat command in a script, specify
error messages as ABORT strings, test the status returned by chat,
and if it fails try a different chat (or the same one again) depending
which ABORT strings triggered the failure. Maybe :-).

Read the PPP HOWTO. If you know it is not suid then try making it so.
However, RedHat linuxconf will complain if you do that. But netconf=20
offers the option of allowing users to operate any particular=20
connection. All you have to do is edit that connection and check the=20
box so users can use it. Then they can start pppd using '/sbin/ifup=20
ppp0' anywhere or 'usernet &' in X.

Once you have the ability to connect via telnet, you don't need the
monitor. Personally, I'd get things set up with the monitor in place,
and then power-down. You don't need the monitor to boot, and from then
on you go through telnet or other access over the network.
But it is possible to get old monitors pretty cheap, at computer fairs
and such. So you could have an emergency spare for the network which
happens to be connected to the Linux box, and left switched off.
The danger, BTW, in hot plugging keyboards and mice and stuff is what it
can do to the motherboard.

No, it won't do it without an invention. I'm doing it with this line in my
crontab for the user 'news':
00,15,30,45 * * * * /usr/lib/news/rnews -U
It can be created as root using command 'crontab -e news'.
Using that crontab, messages you write are feeded to the newsserver every

One problem I'm having, and maybe your suggestion will fix this, is that
diald dials the modem before any of the client machines are even logged
in. At that time, there should be no outbound packets. I'm wondering if
I, by putting my linux box as the local/remote ip for diald, caused diald
to want to dial the line when something like a DHCP request comes in?
If so, then your suggestion might help.
Thanks

Subject: Setting up IPX AND SAMBA on Debian
I need help setting up IPX networking and SAMBA under Debian (Kernel
Version 2.0.34 - Straight off ftp.au.debian.org).
I'm a little new to setting up a Linux box, so here goes (before anyone
asks I am running Debian instead of Redhat due to the fact that once
this system is setup completely I wish to dupe the config to another HDD
so I can use the config when I setup my ISP).
The two machines I am trying to link up are a rented (by flatmate)
Compaq running Win'95 Rev-A, and my machine a Bitsa Pentium 166 running
Linux/MSDOS/Win98.
The machines will talk to each other via win98/MSDOS, but I would like
to be able to network them under Linux (so I know how!).
Basically I want to set the two machines up so I can play a multiplayer
game of Quake off the Linux Box (then I can start deleting the other
partitions to free up more room for Linux).

Peter Ludwig

Don't know about other platforms, but with OS/2 this "feature" can be
disabled: In your prefs.js file, add the line
user_pref("os2.replace_dots", false );
There may be something equivalent for Linux. I'd guess it would be
"linux.replace_dots" in ~/.netscape/preferences.js, but haven't tested
it yet.

You may change your hostname (via the hostname command) to anything that
you like. But, DO NOT change the name of 127.0.0.1 to anything other
than localhost.
As far as I know, there is no standard, but brand/model, (e.g.
Compaq6000) and Personal Names (e.g. Jay) are probably the most common.
In networked environments, themes (Trees, Rivers, etc) seem to be the
most common after informative type names (e.g. LinuxWeb). In spite of
my mixed case usage above, lowercase is generally preferred.
Happy Hosting!
