No. dmesg is in /bin, at least on my Slackware system. It is a program which
reports the startup messages and can be directed to a pager such as more (or
less) or written to a file, etc.

Hi,
I have a piece of code that does a thousand DNS lookups consecutively,
but it seems to fail after about 200 calls and after it fails, it keeps
on failing. May be the DNS server has some security feature which
disable lookups after
a certain number, but if I kill the program and restart things works
normal again
(ie. another 200 lookups work and then keep dying again). Has anyone
experienced this and know what is going on? Thanks for any help.

We use ISO standard naming conventions:
so each server has a 3 part name consisting of Country&City, Role & a
number, ie:
AUSYDSRV05
Meaning Australia Sydney General Server No.5
AUBRIPRN04
Meaning Australia Brisbane Print Server No.4

Subject: linux internet dialup networking
Date: Tue, 16 Feb 1999 17:14:56 -0800
i am using the internet service provided by my school (central valley
internet project or CVIP by fresno state university) and the school provides
only software for MS windows and MacOS. in order to connect to the ISP
(here is my school internet service) i have to use the dialup networking
provided by microsoft. some of you may have the same problem: we have to
run a script file in order for us to trasmit the username and password. if
you have a windows machine you can check this is under the scripting tab in
"my connection" in dial-up networking. the scripting file is like this:
; CSUF Login Script for PPP
proc main
integer count = 0
while count < 4 do
transmit "^M"
waitfor "ame:" until 2
if $SUCCESS then
goto DoLogin
endif
count = count + 1
endwhile
DoLogin:
transmit $USERID + "^M"
waitfor "ord:"
transmit $PASSWORD + "^M"
endproc
i have an old PC (intel pentium 133, S3 virge display 2MB, seagate HDD 1.7GB
and zoom 33.6k internal modem) and i really want to have internet connection
with this computer. i have no idea how to do dial-up connection which
requires me to run the script file (as you see above.) any idea?

Ok, I've been working on this problem for a week now, and some of the postings
I have read have helped, but now I'm stuck....
I have Red Hat Linux 5.1, Apache 1.3.4, perl_mod.... and using Matt's Script
Archive FormMail
At first, it seemed like the cgi script worked fine, but the email was not
sent, and this is what was in the error_log...
Insecure $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at /home/httpd/cgi-
bin/FormMail.cgi line 335.
The script is sending the posted information to sendmail with the -T switch,
but when I check, that is a vaild switch. So I check to see if the sendmail
was working , it was, but then the error changed after that to...
Unrecognized switch: - (-h will show valid options).
httpd: [Tue Feb 16 14:04:45 1999] [error] [client 204.96.209.85] Premature end
of script headers: /home/httpd/cgi-bin/FormMail.cgi
Checked into this "switch", and the only thing I changed was in the begining
the #!/usr/bin/perl -w to #!/usr/bin/perl at which point the error changed
to...
httpd: [Tue Feb 16 16:10:48 1999] [error] (2)No such file or directory: exec

Subject: the old 3c509 troubles.
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 1999 01:13:34 GMT
I am setting up this machine to do tests of Linux for file service.
It must be simplest hardware to confirm viability in the tests.
I have a 3c509 which works well as a module inserted into a 2.0.36
kernel. I have studied the depmod & modprobe & insmod routines. I
have given the conf.modules file the proper lines with the proper
data:
options 3c509 io=0x300 irq=7
alias eth0 3c509
Problem: I can never get the silly thing to actually insert on boot.
I will run 'depmod -a' and try both insmod and modprobe with and
without arguments. I will continually get the message "symbol for
parameter io not found" and lsmod shows no 3c509 module loaded.
Then after I try again later it 'takes' and works just fine all day.
I have not done anything new. This has happened several times.
The kernel load messages show the same error and 'delaying eth0
initialization'.
What's the trick here? GASP
Thanks for taking the time.

But that's a _very_ bad idea from a security perspective. If you do
that, an attacker needs to only get one password. If you force admins
to log into their own accounts, then "su" to get root access, an
attacker needs to get _two_ passwords.
/etc/securetty is there for a reason - to delineate which ttys are
in "secure" (e.g. under lock-and-key physical security) locations.
Too, if you merely enter "ttyp0" in the file, if you already have
someone else telnetted into your system you'll not get in as "root"
anyway as you will be connected to ttyp1.

I'm trying to install RedHat via ftp. The network card I'm using is an ISA
card made by Addtron, and is supposed to be NE2000 compatible. So when I'm
going through the installation process, I can't get the card to be
recognized. It worked fine according to the hardware diagnostic that came on
the Addtron floppy disk. I've tried a bunch of different I/O's and IRQ's, and
"autoprobe" as well as "specify". Has anyone had better luck than me with
this card? What did you do? Thanks,

I've done some tests, and the MacOS boot CDs that came with my iMac see my
Linux box's disks via netatalk, so if I knew how to get everything on the
Mac backed up to a file or files on Linux, in such a way that copying them
to an empty hard disk would yield a bootable system, I could do this via a
two-step process (back up to Linux, then back up those files to tape). So
the question really is, how best to do this, and can it be made to create
a bootable system on restore?
In principle, an alternative may be to mount the Mac drive on Linux and
use tar (or whatever) to back it up directly. I've not yet looked into
this. I recall seeing posts that Linux can read a networked Mac volume
with the appropriate software, but I don't know if this would back up
everything needed for a restore, or if an emergency restore would be
possible from the boot CDs.

My main hobby, besides computer stuff, is car stereo. Henceforth:
headunit, frontstage, rearstage, subwoofer, tweeter. Any more machines
and I'll have to get creative. I also have a "cleo," which is named
after the owner's cat as a joke, and a "poof," for a certain machine
which seems to require major work (on the level of a format and reinstall
occasionally) on an almost monthly basis.

Assuming you have a linux box with two ethernet cards, have them
configured correctly with ifconfig, and you have correct routes. Assuming
eth0 is outside world, eth1 is private network. Assuming you have all the
interal machines connected to the hub along with eth1. Assuming you have
connected eth0 to the adsl modem. Assuming you don't have problems with
DHCP.
Then...
You need to make sure your kernel has been compiled to support
masquerade. Do an ls of /proc/net. If you see the
file /proc/net/ip_masquerade then masquerade support is compiled into
your kernel. If you don't see it, you need to recompile your kernel.
Assuming you have it, then you use the ipfwadm command to set up rules:
ipfwadm -I -p accept # input default policy: accept
ipfwadm -I -f # flush input rules
ipfwadm -O -p accept # output default policy: accept
ipfwadm -O -f # flush output rules
ipfwadm -F -p deny # forwarding default policy: deny
ipfwadm -F -f # flush forwarding rules
# add the forwarding rule that masquerades the internal network
# (assuming 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0) behind the eth0 interface
# (assuming eth0 is outside world) for all destinations (the Internet!!)
ipfwadm -F -a masq -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0 -W eth0
You should also set up rules to catch ip spoofing and other stuff.
Read the Firewall HOWTO. You can find it at www.linux.org under Support.
Hope this helps,
Luca

I used the names of various planets and moons in our solar system, with
an eye toward their history meaning.

any simple HOW-TO that I can refer to for setting up Linux-to-iMac? I wanted
to share either the USB SuperDisk or may be download something to my Linux
and later on transfer it to my iMac.

Hello, Thom V!

You must add following lines to smb.conf:
smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
username map = /etc/smbusers
, then use smbadduser to create Samba account for Win98 user. Because Win9x
connects to remote hosts only
using logon user name (unlike NT) you must :
smbadduser root:<YourWin98UserName>
Password: <YourWin98Password>
and all be o.k. :)

this is really interesting. I get the same errors printing to a
mars_nwe printer queue. (mars_nwe is a novell netware 3.x emulator for
linux). The problem is reproducible when I use a novell client on the
win95 machine, but not when using the microsoft client for netware.
Just out of interest, do you also have the novell client32 loaded on
your windows machine? I think there is some known incompatibility with
the novell cleint spool32 function and microsoft win95, as evidenced by
a series of articles in the microsoft knowledgebase....and no consistent
solutions.... except they did list this as to be 'solved' by win 98.
let me know please
