Current connections are enumerated in /proc/net/tcp (all numbers are in
hex). Basically you just want to search for connections to port 1234 on your
local machine, and eliminate the ones that aren't actually open at the
moment. If you expect multiple simultaneous connections then you'll have to
come up with something more clever.
Another option write your own socket code (really not difficult). Then
you'll have all the connection information at your fingertips without any
need to resort to grotesque kludginess.

I'm not really a network guru, but this sounds like you have misdefined the
ip address of your network card or the netmask of the network.
If you have a class C address, then you have an address of a.b.c.d where
a.b.c is your domain and the netmask is 255.255.255.0
If this is not defined correctly in the network config files (forget where
they are - but they are all in /etc) then nothing works.
Also, if you have a route defined to map onto another network, then the
netmask may need to be defined correctly there (see man route) - use
route -a
to see hat routes are defined
hope that helps

I would reccommend the 3COM Etherlink III 3c509b card.
It works nice with Linux. I am not sure if this is a PCI card, but any other
3COM card should work well. Be sure to disable the PnP on the card otherwise
Linux gets cranky.

I have ppp running very successfully on RH 5.2
My question is that the ISP I dial into (the University of Virginia) is
often busy and usually requires 5-10 tries before a connection is made.
In my chat-ppp0 script I set the timeout to 20. However when I get a busy
signal, it waits 20 seconds to redial (even though I have an ABORT BUSY
entry in the script as well). Is there a work around to this?

You may also be having problems with W98's encrypted passwords. Even if
everything seems to be set up correctly -- e.g. the client is attempting to
log on to his home directory on the Linux host -- you can have problems with
encrypted passwords. There are two ways to fix this: 1) enable passward
encryption for the samba in the configuration file, or 2) disable password
encyption on the W98 client. Door #2 is much much easier. The topic is
covered in depth in the material that came with my Red Hat 5.1 distribution.
Look for a file named ENCRYPTION.txt for a good description on the pros and
cons of enabling password encryption for samba. On my machine it was in the
./usr/doc/samba-1.9.18p7/docs directory. Also see a file in the same
directory called Win95.txt for step by step instructions on how to disable
password encryption for the MS client. These instructions worked just fine
on my Win98 machines.
Hope this helps.

Try a

Not necessary. If both machines are on the same IP network you should be
able to see the unix samba machine in 'network neighborhood'. But only
if the workgroup/domain names are the same on both machines. The NETBIOS
protocol uses broadcasts to announce services to other machines on the
network. Only when there is a router in between two machines you will
need lmhosts file entries on windows machines or naming services like
WINS.
Even from unix machine you could connect to a share on your windows
machine by using the -I <ip address> option of smbclient, without
putting anything in your hosts or DNS. Only if you want to refer to the
windows machine by it's name you should put it in the hosts file.

Here you will also find the workgroup name:
I use Samba 1.9.17p2
in /etc/smb.conf there is a global section:
[global]
workgroup = thuis
printing = bsd
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
guest account = nobody
In my case the workgroup name is 'thuis' (at home in Dutch). It should
match the workgroup name your windows machine uses.
The guest account is important if you have public shares, that should be
accessible to everyone.

If your proxy has two interfaces of which one is connected to the
internet and the other to the inside network and forwarding (routing) is
switched off, the inside machines will have to use the proxy to get out
onto the internet.

The registry change in Win98 is a helluva lot easier than dealing with
encrypted passwords in smb.conf. I only allow MS clients on my LAN to have
access to the samba services. There was no need, in my case, to deal with
password encryption. Maybe your environment is different. If not, why
torture yourself?

I've been through the man pages and looked at every option in sendmail.cf
but I can't seem to find a way to restrict SMTP services by user. I don't
view this as a huge security hole but it seems to me there oughta be a way
to do this. Both Netscape Messenger and Outlook Express have configuration
options for "logging on to the SMTP server" so I'm curious as to how this is
implemented in sendmail. If it makes any difference I'm running the version

Subject: Weird ARP behavior with DSL
Date: Sat, 06 Feb 1999 15:53:06 -0800
I have a redhat 5.1 box and I have two ether net cards.
The second card is pointing to a DSL bridge (modem).
The ISP is messed up, so they pointed 12 static IPs at me.
I am attempting to use arp to route IP traffic inside.
Currently if I ifconfig eth1:1 xxx.yyy.zzz.99,
it works fine.
but if I arp -i eth1 -Ds xxx.yyy.zzz.98 eth1 pub
I get nowhere. .98 is eth0 in this case, but nothing helps (even using
other value on Network 0).
I am posting to this group since this is a different setup.
It is
Box A [network0] Box B [network1] DSL Modem [DSL] Router
The DSL modem is running bridge mode. I assume arping will be bridged
(especially since aliases work).
I've made this same scenario work with a RadioLAN. Am I being goofy, or
is DSL and arp not working?
also arp keeps saying "eth0"
arp -an

That's what we're thinking of doing, however I'm not sure it would
guarantee uninterrupted service until you scheduled the jobs with a
small enough time interval.
It would be nice to figure out what's going wrong in the first place.

Subject: RedHat 5.2 opens raw inet socket on port 1, why?
Date: Sat, 06 Feb 1999 21:01:42 -0500
Any networking gurus out there willing to answer a few questions from a
RedHat Linux user?
I'd like to understand why my system (RedHat 5.2, Linux hostname 2.0.36
#1 Tue Dec 29 13:11:13 EST 1998 i586 unknown) is opening a raw inet
socket on port 1. E.g.,
$ netstat -a --inet
Active Internet connections (including servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address
State
raw 0 0 *:1 *:*
None of the online resources or books I've seen (I spent the morning
browsing through TCP/IP Illustrated and a number of Linux networking
references) seem to talk much about AF_INET, SOCK_RAW ports. I think I
understand what types of sockets exist, but my questions are:
1) What are the security implications of opening this port when
connected to the Internet?
2) I can list what processes are running (ps auxww) and what inet
sockets are open (netstat -a --inet), but how do I list which processes
have opened which sockets?
3) I've read about IP (RFC 791, 950, 919, 922), ARP (RFC 826), ICMP (RFC
792), UDP (RFC 768), TCP (RFC 793), BSD sockets and SVR4 STREAMS, but
I'm still having a hard time putting it all together. I'm at the point
where I can't see the forest for the trees. Can anyone recommend a good
expert reference book? Should I shell out the bucks for TCP/IP
Illustrated? (Anyone want to sell a used copy?) Should I just memorize
the RFCs and meditate until I reach higher consciousness?
I know about the ISO layers, but I'm confused how all of these protocols
map on top of each other, and how the kernel, modules and user programs
divide up the tasks between getting information from the user and
sending a packet on the wire, and vice versa. For example, I'm assuming
the inet port for a SOCK_STREAM, SOCK_DGRAM, or SOCK_RAW packet is
tucked into the IP packet somehow, but what about ICMP and ARP? Are
ICMP messages sent in IP packets? Do they have ports?
Who opens up each IP packet to see what's in it -- the kernel, a module,
or a user program? Who exactly deals with ICMP? (If you can't tell,
I'm not a kernel hacker. If theses questions seem stupid, please
forgive my ignorance and point me to a source of wisdom.)
4) I'm looking for maybe ten pages of information that would explain in
reasonable detail what protocols a Linux box on an Ethernet connected to
the Internet needs to speak, and which programs are responsible for
which parts. For example, I know that I need to be able to send and
receive IP, but it's a little vague to me what part of Linux does that,
and if I can upgrade that part independently from, say, the part that
handles virtual memory.
Where can I find this online? So far, I've done searches in InfoSeek,
HotBot, Yahoo, the Mozilla directory, Google, and DejaNews. I've also
read http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Firewall-HOWTO.html,
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/NET-3-HOWTO.html,
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Networking-Overview-HOWTO.html,
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/LDP/sag/index.html, and a bunch of others.
Yes, I did RTFM for kerneld, netstat, ifconfig, arp, init and route.
And I have read the above-referenced RFCs at
http://info.internet.isi.edu:80/in-notes/rfc/.
Thanks for the bandwidth,
Fred
P.S. If you're running RedHat Linux 5.1 or below, I'd highly recommend
reading http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-98.12.mountd.html. Someone
over the Internet got root on two RedHat systems I'm responsible for.
It was not fun.

Hate to break it to you, but most 100/10 switches cost upwards of
$1000, depending on the features.
Now, a hub on the other hand, could be had for that price.
I have a D-Link 500tx nic in my machine - 100/10 autoswitch PCI - It's
based on the DEC tulip chip, so it's well supported in the kernel. It
was detected during the RedHat 5.2 install, and worked flawlessly out
of the box. It's a 'cost effective' (read that as CHEAP) card, too.
As always, YMMV...
