In debian (hamm), the answer is to modify /etc/init.d/network; just comment
out "route add -net 127.0.0.0". I believe this is now included in the
kernel.

I have a Samba server running in an NT network. I can setup a service for NT
user names; I use smbpasswd to setup the password. When I setup additional
services with different names, these services are visible in the NT network.
When I try to connect, the password is prompted. When I enter the correct
password, I get a message fro NT saying "access to <service name> not possible,
the references do not match" (translation from german). What does that mean ?
What did I miss to setup ?

Subject: INN: Reading in var/spool/news/in.coming before NNTP uplink ?
Date: 15 Feb 1999 12:12:35 GMT
[Msg previously unanswered in news.software.nntp]
On a Linux 2.0.36 system running INN 2.0, for best performance the "tin"s
(etc.) of users on the same machine will usually read directly from
/var/spool/news instead of connecting to INN by NNTP. However, when posting
this way, the articles they post will get spooled in /var/spool/news/in.coming
instead of being entered in the out.going/my.nntp.uplink batch file
immediately (which works for those using e.g. "rtin -g localhost", of course).
How can I make sure INN will always read /var/spool/news/in.coming and
enter any articles found there into /var/spool/news/out.going/my.nntp.uplink
just before starting the dial-up connection ?

Hi all
after many a late night i have got a stable and usefull (red hat) linux
machine with apache web server. When i create a new user account on the
system, that user can ftp and look around the whole machine but cannot
delete or change anything. obviously this is undesirable and i need to set
permissions so they can only see and alter thier own directory. How do i
do this, i am a tad confused about what file to alter.

First you make sure all your Windows machines are using your
caching DNS server and not your ISP's. Second you make sure
your /etc/resolv.conf has "nameserver 127.0.0.1" as the first
nameserver line. Then you use "killall -WINCH named" to toggle
query logging to syslog on and off (assuming your named was

Make your local named a master for bogus zones so it doesn't waste
its time asking your ISP or anyone else about them.

HI
you can even go furthur than that and find an old 386 or 486 to use as a
dedicated linux machine. Buy 2 $5.00 network cards and a crossover utp

Subject: Is DNS possible with this network config?
Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1999 11:39:51 -0500
Hi,
Please give comment/advise if DNS is possible in the following network
setting
Situation:
(1) 50 computers connected together through the hub
(2) Each of these 50 computer has 2 NICs.
The first NIC is assigned with a unique corporate ip number. 19.39.35.x
The second NIC is assigned to an arbitrary number like 192.168.0.1.
The 2nd NIC is used to connect to a few 'local' network devices in the
form of 192.168.0.x.
(3) The deployment of the arbitrary ip number in the 2nd NIC network is
used purely for maintenance purpose. In case if any of those 'local'
devices fails. One could put in a replacement unit with the arbitrary ip
number pre-set. Obviously, they want to maintain these arbitrary ip
number.
(4) Currently, a big /etc/hosts files are used in each machine.
Questions
(1) Is DNS possible to deploy in these situation ?
(2) If yes, could anyone of these 5 machines act like a DNS server ?
(3) How could the local network policy associated with the 2nd NIC be
maintained ?
Many thanks in advance.

Subject: ??:Kernel V2.2.1 - IP Alias - eth0:0 Is Invisible To 'ifconfig"???
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Sat, 13 Feb 1999 01:26:32 GMT
I have Kernel V2.2.1 up and running just fine. PPP, Masq and all are
working ... its just that I have a strange side effect.
My Linux machine MASQ's for my kids Win3.11 machine via a PPP dialup
connection. In order to make it flexible I IP alias the GATEWAY IP on
the same machine as my Linux IP address ... don't know why, I just
wanted to treat the GATEWAY x.x.x.1 address special.
When I ifconfig to view the ethernet devices only the primary eth0
(and of course lo and ppp0) show up, not the eth0:0 alias device. The
alias device works, it can be "pinged" and the MASQ setup works fine
(the Win3.11 machine points to the x.x.x.1 GATEWAY interface).
The V2.0.36 load I was running previously worked just fine as well and
was visible in a normal fashion (with ifconfig). Has anyone an
explaination or a fix for this situation. Its more of a nuisance than
anything else. I've been all through the /proc file system looking
for a reference BUT I can't find eth0:0 either.
I think all my utilities are upgraded enough. I am a minor release
behind on a couple of things and some packages I don't have installed
at all ... this is per the V2.2.1 CHANGES file.
Thanks in advance for any pointers and/or help!

Understand where I'm coming from here though -- I'm totally new to this and not

intentions of moving it over to my Linux box afterwards. I want to setup a

thin cable for the LAN, a network card for each PC and 2 for my Linux machine.
All the hardware.
Here's where I am -- I've got the Red Hat distribution with a 2.0 kernel (I
would upgrade to 2.2.1 but I can't figure that out either) . I've got two
ethernet cards (made by SMC) in place. The Linux box seems to find the first
one, eth0, but stops there. I can ping an outside Web site. That was Step 1.
Step 2 -- set up the internal network.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to configure the second one, eth1.
I've heard two things -- 1) add the second card to the kernal, recompile it. 2)
Compile the second one as a module but don't add it to the kernal. Just config
it using 'dhcpcd eth1'. But which is right?
Even if I succeed at this, I don't understand how to properly configure each
card using ifconfig. Does each card get assigned the same inet, dstaddr and
netmask addresses? And how do I set up the route table afterwards?
So confusing. If anyone knows of a 'Linux Networking for Dummies' FAQ, please
tell me where I can get it!!
I'm hoping someone who already has this setup working can help me out. I know it
can't be that hard..unless you're 'un-technical' like me :-(

I posted this in response to another post...
Not that this will help, but we've been having the same problem ever
since I put in RH 5.2 + imap 4.4-2.
No, we're not being portscanned or hacked - all the host= addresses
are internal, all the users are using Outlook 97 or 98. Those who are
using IMAP (with OL98) seem to be unaffected.
I even tried uninstalling imap and installing imap-4.1.final-1. No
luck.

Setup your DNS settings properly. If you do not want to setup a local
nameserver you have to add all local machines to /etc/hosts.
