You have to tell the kernel that it actually has to support
two network cards. You can do this by putting a line like
'ether=0,0,eth1' (or something :) in your lilo bootup.
Read the LILO manual/howto and look for 'second'.

By default, MS Proxy Server uses NT authentication to determine access. If
you, as Joe Linuxuser, have not authenticated via NT Server, you don't get
to use Proxy Server. Proxy Server can be configured to use clear-text
authentication, or both. Security concerns may make the admin of your proxy
server reluctant to change things.
Now, its been a while since I poked into Proxy Server administration, but I
seem to remember a place that specific IP addresses can be granted or denied
access. If you Linux box has a fixed address, this may be a solution for
you.
Anyone? Anyone?

SMB services are samba. It's telling you during boot that it's starting the
services. Root must be able to edit smb.conf according to what you are
getting from the ls command. You could do the unthinkable and do a chmod 777
smb.conf and give everyone total rights to the file. If you can't get in
after doing that, you're really doing something wrong that you can't see.

After a couple disasters with exchange and NT our company will not
recommend Exchange any more to our customers (not able to restore a
single users exchange data from tape without setting up a test
server). It is a hard thing to do explaining why it takes 6 hours to
accomplish something that should be a couple key strokes to the

Exchange is flat out broken, exchange is not the standard way email is
handled on the internet. To be more compatible with the rest of the

I can't start rpc.mountd in order to do an NFS mount on my laptop.
Can anyone spot the problem? Data follow:

kernel: 2.0.36

It works on the desktop, which is the same CPU, same distribution, same
kernel, but different ethernet card. My guess was a kernel problem, but
I don't know what it can be. I do have NFS support compiled in, of
course.
Thank you.

I had this problem. The real problem is that once someone like this gets in
they generally really go after the system. The install all kinds of versions
of their own software. What I did was step by step go through the cert.org
list of steps for dealing with root compromise. I actually did this several
times. Each time I went through it I found more that was hidden by other
problems that I removed. A couple of things that I found that we not
specifically listed were.
The guy had setup some cgi in an inactive web site.
A packet sniffer had been installed. (this is mentioned) The results of the
packet sniffer were retrieveable through a modified version of the name
server. The query was for an class other than in and for a type that would
not normally exist and provided a "nice" set of resource records -- a list of
all of the accounts and their possible passwords. Note this was not coming
from the modified version of the login, but from the packet sniffer, as it
was producing records for other servers in our zone.
That is a second warning check all your other machines.

new to linux
using redhat5.2 kernal 2.0.36 with samba 1.9.18p10
trying to set up linux/win95 network
redhat installed as workstation class then added samba rpm
the basic network config works(the 2 systems can ping each other and
recognize each others names). The samba package is available in the package
manager but it is not configured (except for the default installation).
at boot I see:
starting SMB services: smbd nmbd
but I dont see any reference to samba(when I first installed samba I saw
references to it during boot, but now I dont see any. It is listed in
package manager as installed and I verified it in package manager twice)
when I use:
[root@myname /root]# smbclient -L localhost
Added interface ip=192.168.0.14 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
start lmhost: Can't open lmhost file /etc/lmhost. Error was No such file or
directory

Timezone is UTC-8.0

Broken pipe
[root@myname /root]#
and Im back at the prompt
when I use:
[root@myname /root]# /etc/smb.conf
bash: /etc/smb.conf: Permission denied
I gather that I need to:
1]set up linux at boot to load the samba package
2]create the /etc/lmhost file (what package in linux is used to create files
like this?) and
3]learn to access the /etc/smb.conf file?
Can you provide any direction on this.

On Redhat 5.2 ... I installed everything and the card was working just
fine, then I set up the sound (which worked fine). Now the ethernet card
won't work, natutally I figured that it had to do with conflicting IRQ's
but I can't figure out how to fix it... I will disable the sound if I have
to, but I'd like to have both. Does my IRQ theory sound right? What should
I do?

I'm not sure we care what you do. :-) But be aware that Solaris and
Linux have somewhat different target audiences, and that Solaris is a
bit on the barren side when it comes to the desktop.

Why did I think you were on uswest.net even before I checked the
headers? I keep hoping they'll get it fixed. I'm using leafnode also
and have had pretty good results. Make sure you get and apply the

No. As fas as I know, Microsoft has only released a version for the

There are no non-Windows versions of MSIE for the Intel platform.
