Subject: shielding customer directories
Date: 17 Feb 1999 10:56:31 GMT
I'm running an Apache web server (under RedHat 5.2). I've got customers who
upload their updated files via FTP. I would like to find a way of shielding
their directories for the prawling eyes of other customers. So that if they
log in to my server they would only see their own directory and not the
ones belonging to my other customers. I've got it so far (via CHMOD) that
they are the only ones who can get in to their directory but I'd like to go
even further so that they can only see their own directory!
Anyone got ANY ideas???????
Thx in adv.

Subject: 2.0.36 - Telnet weirdness - Help!
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 1999 09:44:45 GMT
Hi All,
I'm experiencing an odd problem with telnetting to 2.0.36 boxes.
I have a few boxes exhibiting identical symptoms. We'll use one as an example
- it's on a DMZ between the Internet and my network. It's IP address is
192.168.20.20, and it's connected to a firewall port with IP 192.168.20.250
I _can_ telnet from the firewall to the Linux box. No problem. I can telnet
from the Linux box to an internal box (Solaris 2.6 as it happens), but if I
try to telnet from the Solaris box to the Linux box, I get a "Connection
closed by foreign host". I _know_ the connection comes through because I can
see it on a "netstat". The routing is fine (as I said, the Linux box can
telnet to the Solaris box).
My question is: why should a 2.0.36 system, which receives a perfectly valid
telnet request (and even runs up in.telnetd while it auths) just close the
connection without any log entries or messages?
As I said, I have a few boxes in this position, and their behaviour is
identical.
[For the record, the telnets are certainly permitted by the firewall. The
"auth" isn't, but that doesn't make any odds. 1) The firewall can telnet to
the Linux box, and that has denied auth too, and 2) When I enable auth, it
just closes connection immediately, rather than waiting for the auth to
timeout!!]
Any suggestions or advice greatly appreciated. Please copy replies to my
e-mail ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
Many thanks
Richard Stagg

Subject: Re: Can I Modify Telnet Port
Well port 23 is standard so that other application can simply call port
23 for telnet. Changing it might well make things hard. But information
below will help.

Yeah!!!!! It runs.... but I have to make some appointements:
In PLIP-Tips-5.html say that it is not necessary to add route entries for the
plip link
I actually need them. For the laptop I need also to add two entries: one for the
local net and one for the gateway.
Etherneted computer:
route add <laptop-ip>
Laptop:
route add <etherneted-ip>
route add -net <network> plip1
route add default gw <gateway>
(where gateway is or etherneted or etherneted's gateway -It is actually
running 'routed -s' and I have not tried to kill the daemon yet, so I don't know
if is necessary to run it-)

Size.
Rigatoni are about 1 1/2 to 2 inches long and about 1/2 inch diameter,
Canneloni are about 3 to 4 inches long and about 3/4 inch diameter.
Canneloni are intended to be filled with bolognese sauce, covered with
cheese and then baked "al forno".

Actually, that's one of the weird things, the counters only catch traffic to
the other IPs when I count all traffic on all ports and protocols. When I
add rules that only capture a port's traffic on an IP, only the primary IP's
rules work.
:-P I'll just have to continue playing.

Subject: routing in 2.2.1
Date: 17 Feb 1999 11:16:35 GMT
hy,
in the new kernel the routing should be set by system.
after setting up the devices (eth0,ippp0,ippp1) the route-command
says everthing is fine... (the routes are all set ok)
but routing will not work?!?
so i have to set the routing again by hand (route add ...)
then all the entries in the routingtable appear twice but the routing
will work.
i use the net-tools 1.46 (should y upgrade to >=1.49 ?) may this bee the reason?
any ideas?

Or maybe the remote posibility that the ftp and/or telnet server wasn't

Subject: Automount problems
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 1999 13:04:24 +0100
Hi,
I'm using the autofs-daemon to mount all of our workstations into a
common
/Net - hierarchie.
Because autofs shows nothing when you "cd &ls" into /Net , I decided to
mount
all to /private/Net. Then I linked all names of the workstations to that
path.
( ln -s /private/Net/workstationA /Net/workstationA )
A "cd /Net/workstationA" works properly and the WS is mounted.
Now to the problem:
If I "cd" to /Net and put a "ls" or "ll" the shell hangs itself up and
nothing is shown, or
it just takes hours to show up.
Clicking on /Net within KDE , the filemanager starts working
....forever...and must be shot down.
Has anybody an idea ?
(Using TOP shows no process hanging)
Thanx,
LARS

Not really a theme as such, but the right effect nonetheless.

try proxy arp (man arp)
It will make your linux say on 10.20.0.0 net
that it handles 10.97.1.2 address
It will work for sure if machines on 10.20.0.0 use
10.0.0.0/8 as their network (quite likely).
Check also if MS comps try to get "routed" routing info.
Than you just need routed/gated.

Yes, although, it's also possible that I have no idea what I'm talking
about and deserve a swift kick in the teeth.
Assuming that I'm not going beyond my scope, the question isn't 'Is it
possible?' but 'What FAQ should I look at for this?'

Well, if it means anything whatsoever, I'm using a 386 with 8mb RAM,

Currently we mainly use Greek/Roman gods, titans, mythical characters
for our Sun systems - eros, pandora, vulcan, etc. The network people
started using characters from the Hobbit - gandalf, etc. Then they
moved to composers - chopin, liszt, etc. The last batch we had was
'rudolph' - installed at Xmas and we were going to use the reindeer
names. The very last was renamed (from apollo) 'mabel' (??) - I don't
know why but was told by one of the managers to rename the system to
mabel.
Our Y2K network has 'games'! - kerplunk, buckeroo, yoyo and the like :-)
John.

Subject: accessing NT Mail from a linux wks.

I'm evaluating NTMail.
I have Windows NT server 4.0, and 4 workstation with linux.
The network works fine (I think). There's a web server and that works all
right.
But with NT Mail, sometimes (a lot) the client email program cannot send a
message. Receiving always works fine. But sending sometimes does not work.
Then, I look to the NTMail log sm******.log, and I see this:
>SMTP 17 Feb 99 12:20:17 F 3145 4 dropped DAVID
>SMTP 17 Feb 99 12:20:17 F 0097 4 DeleteFile C:\NTMAIL\Temp\ja000009.ntm (2)
>SMTP 17 Feb 99 12:20:17 F 3251 4 ReadFromStream Select failed on a
non-blocking socket
What does this means??
The strange is that sometimes work, but the most of them fails.
Thanks.

You'll probably want to use the fetchmail program, which gets your POP (or
IMAP, etc) mail and sends it to your local mail server (sendmail) so you
can read it with your favorite email app.
