If you want ~user/.www to be user's personal Web space, place the line
UserDir .www
in the file CONF/srm.conf (where CONF is your Web server's configuration
directory). On Debian, it's /etc/apache/conf/srm.conf.
This is documented at
http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir
The default is public_html.
This is a security hazard. Be sure to read the security note.

No, being a Linux user means you tell your computer how to work, rather

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
well here is the situation, The first problem id that I am new to linux,
and what I want to do I have no idea how to do, so I am asking. What I
want to do is use my dialup connection, which I have setup, to conect 3
computers to the interntet. I would use a cable modem, but lack of
finacial resources. Anyway, I have 1 Linux box (5.2, kernel 2.0.36
"appallo" <-spelling), I Win95 (OSR 2 C) machine, and 1 Win98 machine.
What I want to do is use my linux box as a server to splice out my
internet connection from the phone line to the Win95 and Win98
machines. the IP's are dynamically assigned, and my linux box has its
own IP plus the one the ISP gives it, so I want to assign an IP to the
other two computers for the in house LAN, plus have them connected to
the internet through the linux server to the internet which is coming in
through a phone line. So, if anybody has any help for me, I will need
it. Thanks in advanced.

I support a small to medium, networked account of perhaps 200 stations.
Only a handful need Internet access. Most will need mail. The decision
has already been made to install a 256Kb leased line. I'd like to use a
Linux box running as a Firewall and NAT/IP Masquerade. I've tried to
read up but still have some questions.
The leased line will terminate at a CSU/DSU.
1) I will need a high speed serial card like a digiboard. Any
suggestions for something supported by Linux?
2) I assume the protocol to the serial is PPP (or maybe SLIP), the
carrier/ISP is AT&T.
3) Can I do this with one box? I know that a router, firewall
solution is more common but would prefer one box.
At home I run a cable modem (ethernet) to a Linux firewall which
supplies several other machines at home. I assume the setup will be
roughly the same except that instead of two Ethernet adapters I will be
using a High Speed Serial connection and a network adapter. Are the two
environments roughly similar?
Thanks for any suggestions. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I guess I don't understand what you are doing here.
The user IDs come from passwd -- if NIS is up, I assume you can see
the correct passwd map? (ypcat passwd) Also, that map is included in
your passwd file (the appropriate +:*::::), right?
If NFS works and NIS doesn't map the ids, then you'll see the numeric
IDs -- no names. If NFS doesn't work, you can't mount the dirs at all.
So... what's the problem?

It works like a champ and I didn't have to edit any shell scripts. Is
your modem being detected correctly? I used a Netgear NIC with the

Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 19:49:21 -0500
If you're running a 100TX hub, then 10baseT cards cabled to it will show it
as bad connections.
If you want to use both 100TX and 10baseT devices on the same network, you
need a "switch" somewhere in the network. This can be a standalone device
with a single 10baseT and a single 100TX port, or it can be a multiport
device with various combinations of 10baseT, 100TX, and dual-speed ports, or
it can be build into a hub in such a way that the speed of the network
plugged into any port is automatically sensed and the port is connected to
the appropriate side of the switch.
A dual-speed hub is likely the most cost-effective solution for your
situation. Netgear and Linksys both have fairly inexpensive models that
work fine.
You can also obtain 100TX NICs that work on an ISA bus. Several of your
respondents have mentioned 3com, however Intel also made one at one
time--not sure if they still do--and there are likely several others. Not
stuff you find on the shelf at the local computer store though, and they
tend to cost a good deal more than PCI cards.

personal netware uses its own IPX protocol (called PNW). I don't think
any unix stuff talks the PNW tranport protocol. However, personal
netware can see both bindery and NDS servers, and mars_nwe is a novel
3.x bindery server emulator, whihc can serve as a server to any
bindery-capabale client, including win95 and novell client16 /vlms

Yeah. Proxy ARP is not a problem source. You may disable it at all. It
looks like bad routing table or IP forwarding is disabled. Make sure to:
- IP forwarding/gatewaying is ON (cat /proc/net/ip_forward)
- you can reach machines on ethernet from Linux box (ping, route)
- OTHER side route table is OK. In Windows case you have to add gateway
with address "xxx.146.85.40" (Linux local address)
- Other machines on Ethernet can route traffic to dialup IPs. traceroute
command is just what you need.
- You have NOT activated firewall rules to kill traffic from dilaup to
ethernet (can be viewed with ipfwadm -F -l; ipfwadm -O -l; ipfwadm -I
-l, can be cleared with ipfwadm -F -f).
