You should add the ttyp on wich the root may login. Or you can trhough away that
file and the root has complete access on every terminal and telnet session.
I do suggest loging in with telnet and the invoking su - and enterring the root
password.
Even better is to install sshd and use ssh wich is better and more secure since
they it uses a 1024 bit encryption.

I have a linux box that is hooked up to an internal network. The
other machines on the network are running NT. We have one machine
that is responsible for calling our internet service provider, and it
is through the proxy that all other NT machines access the internet.
The question is, how do I get the Linux box to communicate with the
proxy and see the internet?

When you have setup your windoze off machine according to your previous
replier. You should make sure that both smb.conf and the workgroup in your
win98 system to by the same.
Perhaps you need encrypted password, since win98 uses encrypted passwords by
default. see the file /docs/ENCRYPTION.txt how to do that. Or edit the Win98
registry to use default password.

Subject: Re: IP Masqerading and NetBIOS
Date: Fri, 19 Feb 1999 18:37:37 +0100
I always have hated NetBios and this shows why.
NetBios uses broadcasts and specially connecting to a domain relies on
broadcasting. Since all ISP routers are configured to ban x.y.z.0 and x.y.z.255
calls, you will never be able to connect to a NT server through the internet.
To my knowledge, masquerading sends through broadcasts. But the will be ignored
by ISP routers. Isn't there a posibilty to communicate to your RDBMS over ODBC
with a user name. I do that with Mysql f.i., I have a steady portnumber and I
forward that portnumber with rinetd on Linux to a "dedicated" mysql server. It
authenticates through the ODBC call.
You might also have the problem, that you don't use rinetd on your Linux box or
enabled portforwarding on a "dedicated" router to send certain port request to a
certain IP address behind the NAT-ed network

to work between a Red Hat 5.2 NIS server and a Solaris

and yptools packages from the main NIS site
- Solaris 2.5.1 running on a IPX box (client)
What I want to be able to do is push shadow maps to
the client from the Linux server. Has anyone done
this before? Has anyone written up a "cookbook"
type of document on how such a setup is implemented?
Thanks much for any and all help...

Hmm, I don't know, I don't think you'd be able to ping eth1 if IP
forwarding wasn't working. The packets arrive on eth0 and need to be
forwarded by the kernel to eth1, too.

Strange name, on my SuSE 5.3 system the corresponding file is called

the routing table looks good, too.

This could be the culprit. Have you defined ipfwadm rules?

You're enabling IP forwarding here. If you installed the kerne
correctly, it should be working.
>CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST=y
>CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES=y
># CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL is not set
This is odd. You've defined CONFIG_FIREWALL, but not
CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL. From what I gather by reading menuconfig's help
you should either enable or disable both of them. I don't know why
they have two separate options, but it could be you're trying to do
something you've only partly configured your kernel for.
I suppose the rest is alright.
>If anyone can point out what I did wrong, I would appreciate it.
There are several possibilities I see.
1. SuSE 6.0 installed some ipfwadm rules that are keeping packets from
the laptop from being forwarded.
2. You forgot to masquerade the laptop's packets or didn't tell the
ISDN router that two 10.something subnets can be reached by its
ethernet interface and it should use the PPro as a router for one of
them.
3. You're trying to use ipfwadm to masquerade or something, but
haven't enabled IP firewalling in the kernel.
Hmm, that's it right now.. Do any of the above apply?

Thank you for your studied opinion. The fact is that with a WINS server,
NetBios is quite routable. I mount drives over NetBios at our colocation
provider every day. NetBios does use broadcasts, but it does not rely on
them in the presence of a configured WINS server, or, for that matter, an
LMHOSTS file.
If all I were trying to do with SQLServer were to access it over ODBC, this
would be easy. The administrative interface demands NT authentication (thus
requiring NetBIOS).
Can I use ipfwadm commands to send specific ports to the NT box on the NAT'd
LAN or do I have to use rinetd?

Yes if you can set the jumpers and/or you can configure it via PNP.
Usually under Linux PNP, requires isapnptools. I have an internal PCI

Subject: Re: Machine name themes - what do you use?
Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 10:56:24 -0800
We have used Star Trek names on a few systems. We have a file server named
"BORG" (it assimilates everything), and "ENTERPRISE" as its the main server.

Subject: Re: Beowulf for Web Serving?
Date: Fri, 19 Feb 1999 18:48:30 GMT
Hi John,
We definitely don't expect millions of request a day, however, there will be
many demands on the server locally for mining the database, and all the content
will be generated dynamically using Cold Fusion Application Server, or Lotus
Notes - we're still evaluating which to use. My concern was that with the
database being used to store content and another to store profiles, and yet
another to log activities would be a strong demand even on modern hardware once
you have concurrent users. I was wondering if there would be a way to connect
these through software, yet have seperate machines to handle certain tasks so
that one or two machines is not working too hard to handle all of them. In
addition, to get one or two machines that would handle all this, would cost a
lot of money, hence breaking everything across several cheap, and easily
replaceable components.
Thanks for your reply!

Add 'root: normaluser@linuxbox' to your /etc/aliases file, and run
newaliases to update the database...
