Subject: poppassd binary?
Date: Fri, 19 Feb 1999 21:17:41 GMT
Does anyone have a poppassd binary they can e-mail me or give me a
link to?
I downloaded the source off of qualcomms site and when i compile I get
three warnings about "makes pointer from integer without a cast" but
it does compile.
Then when I run it it gives me a segmentation fault (core dumped)
message after the "Hello, who are you?" message and when I connect
over telnet on port 106 it drops connection after the "Hello, who are
you" message. I'm assuming it's getting that same segmentation fault
when inetd calls it.
Any help (or a binary) would be appreciated.

with Red Hat, you need to install IMAP which has the POP server
using your mail client, set the POP server and SMTP server addresses
to the IP address of the linux box
create an account on the Linux box for each user
It works for me, although the SMPT side is a bit slow to connect

Subject: bad quake2 ping times
Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 19:19:01 GMT
Hello All,
I have a Celeron 450 and my connection is a 56k modem. This modem is in a
separate machine running Linux with IP masq. I can usually play Quake 2 with
no problems, but sometimes, after I have just played a map getting about 200
ping time and the server loads a new map, my ping will stay at ~200 but about
every 15-20 seconds the ping will jump to about 5000. Of course this keeps me
out of the action for 5 seconds, and I always get killed. Does anyone know
what the cause of this is? Do I need to load a separate quake2 module?
Thanks.
Mike

Subject: Token ring ifconfig hangs on RH Linux
Date: Fri, 19 Feb 1999 23:20:36 GMT
The situation:
RedHat 5.2 from the InfoMagic Developer's resource CD.
IBM ThinkPad 755CD with IBM token ring PCMCIA card.
IBM token ring LAN.
Using the tr0 interface with the ibmtr.o module.
Problem:
The ifconfig for tr0 just hangs, even when executed from the Red Hat
netconfig "script" interface. It never seems to come up.
On the other hand, the boot floppy didn't have any trouble at all
accessing the network. I just just told it "NFS" and "DHCP", and
it merrily installed RH 5.2 from a net-mounted CD.
Even weirder, I left the thing plugged in overnight. When I got back
this morning, it used the network just fine. It's been dead ever since
I rebooted it, though (dead connection, that is). I'm thinking that
the distribution kernal can't get into the ring while there is traffic,
but the installation kernal somehow can (just a guess).
On my last two reboots, things seemed to work, but taking the interface
down did bad things. It hangs when I used ifconfig to try to get it
back up.
I've read various HOWTO's, and none of them address this problem.
Any ideas how to solve this? Where should I look for more help?
Any files/logs I should provide?
Vague hints:
During boot:
ibmtr.o: no adapters were found"
...
Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.0.5
kernel build: 2.0.36 unknown
options: [pci] [cardbus]
...
kernel: tr0: unknown command FF encountered
Warning:
I'm a Linux (but not Unix) newbie. If this is going to require a kernal
recompile, you'd better point me to directions on how to do that.
PS: Assuming I get the net working...is there an easy way to install
packages from a list without using the boot floppy?

This holds promise.
Basically, I have windows boxes that need to ba able to access local lan
(192.168.x.x) and access the WAN. I would prefer them to have WAN IPs as
well. Why the LAN IP? Simple, I am running a linux samba server, and
with the everything the windows boxes receive being sent to the ISP, and
then to other machines, nothing shows up in their network neighborhood.
The linux boxes all have a dhcp address as well as a LAN alias (yes, it
works fine). (my experience with masq'ing has not been nice, especially
with ipchains).
Of course, once I get my static pool it may change drastically. at that
point I willlikely just run NAT and a linux router ...

Make sure you have the newest version of the Tulip driver from
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/tulip.html
The one that came with stock 5.2 (tulip v0.89f or something like that; check
the startup or dmesg messages) stopped working for me when I changed my
Ethernet hub from a 100 Mbps unit to a 10 Mbps one to support my ADSL modem,
which only speaks the 10 Mbps Ethernet. I think the new version of the tulip
driver is 0.90. It fixed my problem pronto.
In case this matters to anyone (i.e. DejaNews -- a godsend), my NIC card is
a SOHOware 10/100 Fast Ethernet card (SFA110A) from their Fast Ethernet kit
(SKF812A). Be warned -- the hub in that kit is 100 Mbps ONLY -- it won't
talk to 10 Mbps devices (like my Orckit DSL modem). If you get that kit,
make sure all your devices are either 100 Mbps or can switch between 10 Mbps
and 100 Mbps.
Good luck!

Hi,
What you seem to have is the source code for the driver ( well you have
source
code for something. ). You will need to compile it to produce the
executable.
ie the nic driver itself. You will also need to put it in the right
place
so Red Hat can find it. Can't help there as I use Slackware.
Did you get anything else or just the .c file ?
Source code is readable so you could view it with vi. Maybe, just maybe,
you
will see info as comments in the file to tell you what to do. Otherwise
I
would be inclined to go back to the site you got it from to see if there
are any readme files or installation guides there.

Subject: FTP ports and IP masquerading??
Date: Fri, 19 Feb 1999 12:43:57 -0700
I've got a question about FTP ports and IP masquerading.
First of all, here is the network setup I'm working with:
| masquerading | | masquerading|
private-net ----| router |---firewall-net---| firewall |
192.168.1.0 | 192.168.1.44/| 192.168.2.0 |192.168.2.3/ |
| | 192.168.2.1 | | ppp0 |
| |
| |
Host ISP dialup server
192.168.1.1
I was running some ftp sessions to hosts out on the internet from the
host on the private net, and I noticed that when the server tried to
set up a back connection to me when I did a dir or ls command, I saw
the following:
---> PORT 192,168,1,1,18,54
Now, since I'm supposedly masqueraded off (in fact, twice!) I was
wondering what the nature of that PORT command was, and why the local
IP of 192.168.1.1 is apparently in the port command. I know I need to
do much more reading on the nature of the FTP protocol and the
specifics of IP masquerading, but I was wondering if that port command
is normal for a (doubly) masqueraded ftp connection!??

Some of the replies to your message suggest segregating the separate
tasks onto separate servers, which is a good strategy - especially
when you come to upgrade or do systems maintenance.
I manage a site that uses Lotus Notes as an application server for
dynamic content and a "plain" web server for the more static content.
This helps to segregate load and it also allows us to use web design
agencies for the html stuff and we do the Notes work on an in-house
basis. This is useful because a web agency can bring in graphic design
skills and help us when we have too much in-house work.
I have tried running Notes on x86 Sun Solaris 2.6 and Windows NT 4 and
I was more impressed by the performance on NT (the same hardware was
used in each test). However, Lotus are promising to release a Linux
version of Notes 5, which will be worth evaluating.
Getting all of the applications to talk to each other when they run on
separate servers is certainly possible, for example through ODBC or a
native database client. Apache will be a good choice for the web
server because of its performance and support for dynamic content
(e.g.cgi, Java serverlets, perl modules, php3 etc) and because it can
be compiled with database support to connect to remote servers.
Apache on Linux is also a better performer than Microsoft's IIS on NT
4, although IIS has some interesting features such as connection
pooling for improving the performance of ODBC links to a database
server.

At work I have a big Dell PowerEdge server in a snazzy black case
running Novell, an NT server, and a new Linux server. The Novell server
is called BLACK, the NT server is called GOLD, an obvious association,
and the Linux box is called RED. I tell management that RED stands for
the Red Hat distribution I've got installed on it, but actually RED is
named in honor of my hero, Karl Marx.
My personal computers are a too-cute Toshiba Libretto which I call BOOK,
and a Linux box I set up recently to play with that I call BOX. (As I
get old I look for ways to shorten the amount of typing I've got to
do.) The PC I've got on my desktop at home is a 286-10 with a whopping
1 MB of RAM - or at least it was six motherboard replacements back.
Over the last ten years or so it has run DOS 3.2, DOS 3.3, DOS 4.01, DOS
5.0 / Win 3.1, DOS 6.22, NT 3.51, Windows 95, and NT 4.0 - so
considering the number of times that machine has bombed out or locked
up, a long while back I named it OLD96, after the folk song "The Crash
of the Old 96":
They found him in the wreckage
His hand still on the throttle
A-scalded to death by the steam

Please if anyone have an idea:
I am trying to test my internal modem using kermit. I do
as suggested in the "Serial HOWTO" but the modem responds
to each command after 2..5 seconds. I checked irqs and
used setserial to set them correctly. The modem in ISA PnP.
Should I disable the PnP operation ?
Running Red Hat 4.2
Thanks

Does it include full accelerated functions? I mean, it's not just a neomagic
compatible server, right? You get full use out of the chipset?
