Hello,
I have IP Masquerading installed and working fine. However, on my Win98
machine (which connects to the internet through my Linux box), the download
speed is horrible...under 1k/s 95% of the the time.
Any ideas on how to speed this up?
Thanks,

Subject: diald pings the gateway but no more...
Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 19:48:40 GMT
So now... I've installed diald and all goes well, if I try to connect to an
external host the modem dials and connects to the gateway (the pppd & chat
script seems to put the connection up). When the modem is up, ifconfig shows
both the slip and the ppp link, and the routing table has three new entries:
a ppp one to the gateway with 255.255.255.255 netmask
a slip one same as above
a slip one to 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0
but then... I can ping the gateway but not any other host.
With the same script, ppp connects all right.
In the pppd script I've removed the defaultroute and the other options the
diald manpage suggests to remove, and I've changed nothing more.
This is my diald.options file:
# my ttyS
device /dev/ttyS1
# diald log file: not changed
accounting-log /var/log/diald.log
# diald monitoring pipe: not changed
fifo /var/run/diald.fifo
# This turns on full debugging.
debug 31
# We have PPP
mode ppp
# local IP (the masqueraded one, but it should not change anything
local 192.168.1.1
# IP number for the provider's machine, it's always the same, so it's here
# This is not a problem, but it'll make the routine table look funny.

Subject: Help! Apache won't start after Kernel 2.2 install.
Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 16:08:18 -0600
While installing the new 2.2.1 kernel (and the recommended software
upgrades), something broke Apache. Currently, it won't start up. I have
set LogLevel to debug, but it's recording no errors.
I tried upgrading to Apache 1.3.4, and even recompiling 1.3.3. I went
back to kernel 2.0.36, but it still won't start. It says it's starting,
but immediately exits with no error. I have even downgraded the software
that I upgraded before.
Help!
Thanks,

work with Livingston PM3's however the really bad news is that I've only

Subject: shares in samba 2.0.11 ?
Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 22:49:33 GMT
I�ve running samba with several shares on MYMACHINE
when executing
me@MYMACHINE$ smbclient -L MYMACHINE
I�m asked for a password. When striking ENTER I see the shares. fine.
but whose password is this ? which account is responible for the 'share-
browsing' ?
in my smb.conf I have the following line (beside a few others ;)
[global]
guest account = nobody
so I assume this account is responsible for browsing the shares.
BUT:
I) when changing the smbpasswd for nobody I still can browse the shares
by striking ENTER (and also entering the correct passwd)
II) when I disable the above line in smb.conf (and restart smbd) the
behavior stays the same
III) shouldnt be the account of the calling user be the browsing account?
why I ask this questions ?
my NT-machine doesnt list the samba-server in network-environment. but I
can mount shares using the net use-command. I dont understand it.
bonusquestion:
is there still a smbusers-file in samba2.0.11 and where should it be
located (same directory as smb.conf or in /private/smbpasswd)
I grep�d the whole doc but didnt find any relevant info about that.
(I guess I�ve missed THE docs)
thanks in advance

Subject: Using a Linux dial in PPP with Windows NT
Date: Tue, 09 Feb 1999 17:19:05 -0800
Greetings all..
I work in a shop that primarily uses a Win NT 4.0 network, but we are
dissatisfied with it (big surprise!!) and have been testing samba. I
have tried to set up NT RAS, and needless to say, it was not the best
experience of my life.
The question is:
Is there a way to configure a RedHat Linux 5.2 box as a Dial in server,
and have it authenticate users and enable them to browse shares on the
NT network?
Any input that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated..
Thank you in adavance..

I just installed Suse 5.3 (ker 2.0.35). Very easy install (my first). This was on a
machine I built myself, too. What kind of graphics card do you have? If you
have a card with the Intel i740 chip, then you're going to need the the new
Xserver for that. You can find it at the RH ftp site, or there's a link
to it from the Suse HW compat. list for graphics cards (Like the
Diamond Stealth II G460, which is what I am using).

Subject: Re: do I need 2 ethernet cards?
Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 20:57:21 GMT
I'm not sure what you mean, eth 0:1 as opposed to eth0 and eth1. You need
two interfaces in your firewall machine in order to use your ipfwadm
effectively. However, 1 of those might be PLIP instead of another ethernet
card. That would be slower, but it might work. I'd suggest just going with
ethernet. Which would require 2 ethernet cards in the firewall, and 1 in the
computer you're adding.

Date: Tue, 09 Feb 1999 17:21:38 -0800
Hi:
I've got a pacific turbocom 16750 uart isa card much like yours for use
with a 3com impactiq isdn modem. The part of your note I don't understand is
that you're using a 16650 UART, and setserial'ng it to 16750? Why would you do
that? One has a 16 byte fifo and the other a 64 byte fifo buff. I'm sure
they're not backwards compatible , although probably forwards compatible.
Anyway, Pacific Turbocomm says that kernel 2.1.53 or higher must be used which
is what I used to use with it to get it working originally. Recently I started
using kernel 2.2.0 which is fine as well. Also you'd need (something like 1.4
version ) of setserial for using a uart above 16550 (or maybe that's 16650). I
guess I'd start by setting the UART to be the same as the one you've got. The
other thing I had to do was use the baud_cust, baud_div, and baud_base to come
up with a special baud rate that divided out to either 256K or 128K based on
the specific params of the 16750. Using baud_cust you get whatever you've
asked for when you set your baud rate to be 38,400 in the app. I'm a little
rusty on this not having fooled with it for awhile but I hope something in
there helps.
Mick
(I'm doing some contract work from home that requires win98 at the moment so I
may be wrong on some of these params or slightly off on their names but that's
the general idea.)

Subject: Samba file locking problems
Date: Tue, 09 Feb 1999 20:21:18 -0500
hello all,
the server at work is running RedHat 5.2 with samba and Windows 95
clients. When a windows client opens a document or executable then
closes the app, samba does not seem to release the file. You can open a
file, close it, go to another computer and try to open the same file and
you usually get some sort of message about the file not existing or in
use by another user.
Running smbstatus shows that the file is in use even though nobody has
it opened on their computer. It shows an EXCLUSIVE + BATCH mode
( think I remember that right)
I have looked through smb.conf and do not see anything relating to file
locking.
Any one have any ideas about what this might be?
Thanks for any help.

Only bad thing that Linux antivirus cannot cure MBR, becouse it is

Do you know whether they filter port 22? You could try setting up
sshd on your home machine, and experiment with connecting by ssh.
As an generalization, you could try setting up sshd on some arbitrary
(but not "Well-Known") port, and use ssh to connect to that port instead.
When I was visiting my in-laws, ssh allowed me to bust through
the firewall set up by my brother-in-law's ISP (a school district),
which wouldn't let me telnet anywhere.

I guess that means Samba using NT passwords. Has to do with NT and
later versions Windows 95 and 98 using encrypted passwords.
on the samba server as root do a
smbpasswd -a username
this add's a new user with NT style passwords. Unfortunately this
makes the unix and windows passwords go out of sync.
But... i found that it was worth it because the speed difference by
modifing nt use plain text passwords was significant.
look at the man pages for more about smbpasswd
Hope this helped.
