I'm looking for the same application. Some of my users travel a lot,
and need to access their mail from coin-op Web browsers at airports,
shopping malls, friends' houses, public libraries, the lobby at 3Com
corporate headquarters, and Kinkos stores. Public Web access facilities
often do not include telnet or a mail client, or it can't be reconfigured
to make them work. HTTP (and HTTPS) is sometimes the only thing that works.
And I haven't been able to compile IMAP-4.5.BETA yet.
make slx EXTRALDFLAGS="-llibcrypt"
dies with
osdep.c: In function `checkpw':
osdep.c:190: `PAM_ESTABLISH_CRED' undeclared (first use this function)
It seems the names in /usr/lib/libpam.a don't match; adding -llibpam
does not help. Any suggestions?

Hi, I've got RH5.2 & Apache 1.3 running, and when I'm testing local
webpages & cgi, I have to supply the FQDN in netscape to access those
pages. Problem is when my ISP network is down, I cant access my local

When I originally set up RH5.2, "http://localhost" would work, but now
that I have the networking set up for my cable modem to my ISP, it
doesnt
work anymore. I've tried my hostname and even 127.0.0.1 and I either
get a "unable to connect" or a "could not resolve" errors...
Any ideas?

Probably, but I'd check out http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/ALPHA/linux-

It's in the Alpha directory but I think it can apply to Intel Linux just
as well.
Hope this helps,

Subject: DHCP from NT not registering Linux Host name
Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 17:13:24 GMT
Hello all! My network setup has been smooth thus far: I'm on an NT Domain,
10.101.1.x subnet. I'm running the 2.0.36 kernel (RedHat 5.2). NIC setup
went smoothly [Intel EEPro 10+]. In netconf I set the host name to mrussell,
choose DHCP as the config mode, set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. When I
try to enter Name + domain or alias, I get an error and the settings don't
stick. The domain is entered correctly in the DNS section, along with the two
DNS servers that are broadcast by dHCP.
At boot, I am assigned an IP address by DHCP, and can ping out to any machine
using its FQDN (WINS won't work; should it?). However, I found that no
machines can ping my linux box unless I use its IP address. Checking the
DHCP records, I see that the IP address I'm assigned doesn't have a name
associated with it. This is very annoying, because I want to be able to
connect via Samba. How can I get my Linux box to register its name with
DHCP/WINS, and to use WINS for host name lookup (for pinging, etc.)
Thanks!

No this is not a problem. 10.20.1.1 *is* the address of the router so
you do not want to chage it.

I cannot see why you'd want to.

Could you descibe a problem please? It's rather hard to propose a
solution without a problem. Nothing you have described is a problem.

None of these are needed in such a a simple case.
Random shot-in-the-dark: You forgot to enable IP forwarding on the
Linux box.

Just a few comments. While this may work, the break even is about 6
Mac. For more than 5 Macs you might be better to get the Retrospect
Network Backup Kit (<$300 in mail order catalogs), which contains the full
version (can back up to tape) of Retrospect and 10 Clients.
At the University of Mississippi our department is currently backing up
about 50 Macs and 10 PCs to an Exabyte tape drive (8700LT) attached to a
Mac. The tapes are 8mm and hold 5-10 GB, they cost about $5 ea and the
drive costs about $700. This works for us, especially since we had the
tape drive as a spare for our UNIX boxes.

Hi all,
I've a problem with wd80x3. I'm running RedHat 5.2 with kernel 2.0.36.
with a loadable module driver for the card.
The card is recognized correctly during the boot (io address, irq).
However, the ifconfig is seeing the io address incorrectly and doesn't
allow to change it.
The jumpers are set as io=0x340, irq=3.
ifconfig states io=0x350, irq=3
Any ideas where is the problem.

Subject: SOHO router: 1 NIC & 1 modem - can't ping outside
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 1999 17:32:53 -0700
Objective:
Linux box as router/firewall for SOHO network via PPP dialup (static
IP).
Network:
Linux1 (the router) box w/modem and NIC(172.16.1.222) (kernel 2.0.36 with
ipfwadm etc compiled in)
several WIN95s and NT boxes with IP 172.16.1.xxx
another linux box with IP 172.16.1.xxx
My Internet dialup PPP setup:
Linux1 dials a NT box sitting on a frame relay circuit connected to
internet. Authenticates via RAS (CHAP) fine. and recieves aaa.bbb.ccc.62
( the aaa.bbb.ccc to protect the innocent) as its ppp0 IP address. The
remote address (NT RAS server/internet box) is aaa.bbb.ccc.60 . Connects
fine, can ping internet addresses, surf etc. Can also ping inside network
machines (all the 172.16.1.xxx boxes). So ping works between router and
inside network and vice versa.
Inside boxes can also ping both sides of the Linux1 box (172.16.1.222 and
aaa.bbb.ccc.62).
IP forwarding on. No enties yet in ip.allow or ip_deny.
All inside machines have 172.16.1.222 set as default gateway. and the
fact that they can ping the aaa.bbb.ccc.62 address (external ppp0 on
router) tells me that is fine.
PROBLEM:
the inside boxes cannot ping the aaa.bbb.ccc.60 (first step past router's
ppp0) and of course can't ping any internet addresses.
Route -n (before ppp0 comes up) gives:
=====DESTINATION==== ===GATEWAY===== ==GENMASK=== FLAGS. ==IFACE ===
172.16.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U lo
and after ppp0 is up route -n gives:
=====DESTINATION==== ===GATEWAY===== ==GENMASK=== FLAGS. ==... IFACE
---
aaa.bbb.ccc.60 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH ppp0
172.16.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U lo
0.0.0.0 aaa.bbb.ccc.60 0.0.0.0 UG ppp0
TRACEROUTE from inside machines goes to 172.16.1.222 ( the default
gateway) then hangs...( actually dots.......)
SO: can't figure what I am missing.... routes look OK (to my untrained
eye) but this is where I suspect the trouble to lies.
The HOW-TOs are geared towards dual-homed boxes not a NIC and a modem
like mine, this also is one of my suspects.
I know it will be a "DOHH!" when one of you nice folks sets me straight.
In the means time learned much.
BTW: great newsgroup been lurking/learning for the past month, lots of
patience with new folks, great leaning tool!

<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">
<html>
<br>I'm trying to use a Linux machine as a router to implement a second
segment
<br>of our network. We have always used a netmask of 255.255.255.224,
allowing
<br>us to have 8 subnets, but so far we have only been using 250.21.53.2
- 31.
<br>(NOTE: High bytes of IP Addresses have been altered for confidentiality).
<p>The Linux machine has two ethernet cards configured with 250.21.53.30
and
<br>205.201.53.193 to try and put the 250.21.53.192/27 network behind the
Linux
<br>machine, so it routes traffic between its two interfaces.
<p><tt>

========== ...</tt>
<p>Here is what works:
<p> 1) The Linux machine can establish connections with both internal
and
<br> external hosts. By "internal", I mean
the network behind the Linux
<br> machine, even though I want those addresses
to be public.
<p> 2) Internal and external machines can ping both the internal
and external
<br> INTERFACES of the Linux machine (i.e., 53.30
and 53.193), and everybody
<br> gets ping replies back.
<p> 3) My OUTBOUND requests get forwarded through the Linux machine
to external
<br> internet hosts. I can see responses
to my requests (telnet ACKs,
<br> ping replies) coming in on the Linux machine's
external interface.
<br>
<p>Here is what doesn't work:
<p> 1) I can't ping the internal network from outside the Linux box.
<p> 2) The INBOUND replies to my internal hosts' requests don't get
forwarded
<br> from the external Linux interface to the internal
network.
<br>
<p>I do not think that this is a problem with enabling forwarding in the
kernel,
<br>based on the fact that packets are successfully forwarded in an outbound
<br>direction, and based on the following:
<p> bash$ cat /proc/net/ip_forward
<br> IP firewall forward rules, default 4
<p> bash$ /sbin/ipfwadm -F -l
<br> IP firewall forward rules, default policy: accept
<br>
<p>I have configured addresses and routing tables to the best of my
<br>understanding, and although the Linux machine is able to communicate
with
<br>both the internet and its "internal" network, the internal network
is not
<br>accessible from outside the Linux router, and consequently is not able
to
<br>receive responses to its requests. Here is the routing table
from the
<br>Linux box:
<p><tt> bash$ /sbin/route</tt>

<br>
<br>
<p>By using tcpdump to monitor both interfaces on the Linux router, I can
see
<br>OUTBOUND requests being forwarded very nicely. The internet hosts
respond
<br>to the queries and send responses back (e.g., a telnet ACK or a ping
reply),
<br>which I can see on the external interface of the Linux router, but
they are
<br>not forwarded to the internal interface. It is as though the
Linux router
<br>does not recognize that it is responsible for forwarding those packets
to
<br>its internal interface.
<p>Another thing I've noticed with tcpdump is that routed seems to be behaving
<br>nicely on the Linux machine. It sends RIP broadcasts to both
the internal
<br>and external networks.
<p>I also see ARP requests coming from my ISP's router, at 250.21.53.1,
<br>asking who-has the addresses for machines behind the Linux machine,
such as
<p> 09:42:49.431816 arp who-has 250.21.53.194 tell 250.21.53.1
<br>
<p>Nobody answers these ARP requests. When I manually send an ARP
message to
<br>the router from the Linux machine, and tell it the hardware address
of the
<br>"internal" machine...
<p> arp -s 250.21.53.194 00:11:1A:6E:7E:14 pub
<br>
<p>...it stops asking who-has, but this does not enable delivery of packets
<br>to the internal machines. I figure this is another symptom that
<br>something is wrong with the routing tables or with routed, and that

I note that you are not using masquerading.
Are you using real IP addresseses - if not then you must use
masquerading (or proxys).
If you do have real IP addresseses then what protocol are you using to
manipulate the routing tables on the upstream routers?
"The admin of the upstream router did it by hand" is a valid protocol.
"None" is not.

ipfwadm is for 2.0, ipchains is for 2.2.
