Greetings,
I have been trying to get Netscape Communicator under Linux to use MS
Proxy 2.0 to connect to the internet. However, I don't seem to be having
much luck. I can see Netscape vigorously try to access the NT Server but it
finally fails and Netscape displays a message of Error: Access Denied. Has
anyone had any luck with this? I am currently using Slackware Linux 2.0.34
(InfoMagic July 1998 release). Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

Subject: Calling smbmount from amd with fstype "program"
Date: Fri, 19 Feb 1999 18:52:04 GMT
We want to access filesystems on several NT boxes from
many different Linux hosts. Doing this via hard smbmounts
is not a viable option, there are hundreds of Linux hosts
that would have to be configured.
We are using the amd automounter from am-utils6.0 and can
easily automount any nfs type file system.
There is a filesystem type called "program" in the amd doc.
This supposedly allows you to call a script that will
do whatever(preferably mount a fs) you want.
I need to know how to use this filesystem type.
The section of the map that tries the mount looks like -
oddjob/test fs:=${autodir}${path};type:=program; \
mount:="/etc smbtestm"; \
umount:="/etc smbtestu"
The smbtestm script will properly smbmount the requested
NT box if executed manually.
The smbtestu script umounts the smbmount.
The mount script touches a file as a for of tracing to see
if the scripts ever executes. It never does when using
the automounter.
Has anyone done this?
If so, I need the proper map syntax, etc.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Access to a novell server across a linux IP router (or needed I IPX router)
Date: 18 Feb 1999 18:10:46 GMT
Hello,
I'm installing (to convince my dad for what linux stands for) a linux
router
to give people who work on his administration network e-mail and internet.
I have a problem to access a novell volume across the linux server.
Nerkwork scheme :
W95 PC's
75.10 75.103
Administration ----- -------
net 1: 193.233.75.0 | |

Internet network ----- ------- -------
80.10 80.100
80.254
Administration : 193.233.75.0
193.233.75.10 This is a W95 station
They want e-mail and internet
Internet network: 192.103.80.10
192.103.80.100 This is a W95 station
They can internet via a gateway
(192.103.80.254)
192.103.80.10 This is a novell netware 4.1 server. He collects all
the e-mail.
192.103.80.254 This is a router to ISP.
I'm using an Intel 486dx-33 with 2 ethernet cards.
I've installed Slackware linux (version 1998) with :
- special support for two ethernet cards
- a IP router
- using IP masquerading + firewall (Ipfwadm)
- IPX support in the kernel
This is fine and very useful and means that people who logon on the
administration network can surf on the internet via the linux router.
And it works.
BUT there is still one problem.
When an user from the administration network (not the novell network) wants
to get his e-mail. He must have access to the novell server volumes but I
can's see these volumes.
We are using Intranetware Client 32 2.2 (I think) and I have add a route
back to the linux router in the novell server.
I can ping to the novell server (192.103.80.10) with a good reply this
send from the administration network (193.233.75.10).
Can somebody help me with my questions ?
My questions ?
1. Can I get my e-mail from the novell server over TCPIP ?
Can I access the e-mail directory on the novell server.
2. Must I install a IPX router on my Linux ?
How must I do this ?
I only have a IPX address from my novell server. (0x 343156BF )
Witch address must I give to my ethernet cards I my linux ?
And how works the routes ?
Can this runs at the same time as IP router.
3. Or How can I solve this problem on another easy manner ?
Many, many thanks for your time.
When you reply can you send a copy also to [EMAIL PROTECTED], so that I can read
my mail when I'm not at work.

Download the slackware NFS installation boot floppy, boot from that one
and let it autdetect your NIC. Then build yourself a kernel with support
for the autodetected driver.

According to Digicom, this modem does not have "legacy jumpers," which

This is default pppd behaviour. It makes sense in most cases. By
which I mean it makes sense in most _disinct_ cases. This is however one
very common specific case where it does not and this is the case where
you have a machine with a LAN that is not part of the internet and a
dailup connection.

Yep, you need to be masquerading.
The very important thing to remember about IP is that it is
connectionless. If you remember this most of the rest is obvious.
For example *every* router on the path must inedpendantly know how to
forward any packets addressed to you to a router that is closser to
you.

Subject: 2 ne2000 cards
Date: Fri, 19 Feb 1999 19:07:48 GMT
I am running slackware to ack as a firewall between my cable modem and my
lan. I have compiled the kernel with all of the right stuff. My problem is
that on startup the
computer finds one ne2000 card that is set at irq 5 io 300. The other is
set to irq 12 io 360. I have been trying to find where it detects the first
ne2000 card. It is not in the rc.modules files. I have commented out the
lines in this file and it still detect the first card but not the second.
Is there a way to get it to detect both cards.
Thanks,

Subject: NFS and Samba Problem in IP Masq Gateway
Date: Fri, 19 Feb 1999 14:27:30 -0500
I have a xDSL (1MegModem) access at home and using a RedHat 5.2 Linux
Gateway to connect 5 Windows machines to the net. I have setup IP
Masquerade and most of the applications works fine e.g. ICQ, Read_Audio,
HTTP, FTP and Netmeeting (with PhonePatch). I also use ipportfw to
forward ports to internal Personal Web Servers. My problem is I cannot
mount the windows harddrives to this Linux box. I am running NFS Daemon
on my windows machine (I tried several different NFSDs).
And every time I try
mount -t nfs 192.168.0.1:/linux /tmp/linux
it returns
directory is busy or already mounted
but i try
umount /tmp/linux
it returns
umount: /tmp/linux: not mounted
The problem seems to start when I installed the second Ethernet card for
the xDSL service. NFS was working fine before that. I install RedHat
over NFS since I do not have a CD-ROM drive on this 486dx33 Linux box.
Another problem is Samba. I can access te harddrive of this linux box
in the Network Neighborhood of the Win95 machines. Once I installed the
2nd Ethernet card. I cannot access the drive anymore. I can't even
start the service using /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start command. The process
just dead after that (I cannot find it in 'ps aux').
Is there anything wrong would be caused by the setup of this second
Ethernet card? I really have no clue what went wrong. Please help.
Thanks,

ftp both ways and have Samba configured. Apache has been installed and
I can see the "It worked" web page when I navigate to the Linux box from

DNews is pretty good for providing a sub-set news feed - available for Linux

this will have the kernel search for both cards at the two io addresses.

I agree wholeheartedly. My bone of contention is that in order to not
lock out portions of your target audience, sometimes you have to make
customizations for each browser, based on the bugs or features or
quirks of an implementation there are. Which means that Web publishing
is far more than just adhering to the standards.
I'd be very pleased if I found even one browser that had 100%
implementation and adherance of the W3Cs recommended HTML and CSS
standards... or even just the HTML spec. But such a browser does not
exist on any platform, and my job is about making things that are
supposed to happen according to the standard happen on everyone's (or
almost everyone's) browser.
Example: every day when constructing forms I have to use the name=""
attribute, despite the fact that this essential attribute is not part
of the W3C's spec. The W3C's DOM uses the id="" attribute, but if I
only use that, then I lock out every user in the world except MSIE4
users. *That* would be a crime.
So sometimes adhering to the spirit of open standards means
disregarding the letter of said standards.
Hence my disdain for people who complain too loudly about variance
from the open standard in HTML. Supporting the standard is one
thing. Calling developers who have to work with it "twits" for doing
their job is another.

on NW server, use broadcasts, internal mail etc. Linux box has also DNS server,
and works very fine for outgoing mail. Mercury has weak protection against
spam, so Linux box with Exim filters also incoming mail.
