You can save some money by going to http://www.tzo.com and selecting the TZO Premiere
DNS hosting service.
TZO works with both static and dynamic IP addresses, and will allow you to host your
own PRIVATE domain (yourname.org, yourname.com, etc) for only $59.95 per year, or
$99.95 for 2 years.
More info can be found at http://www.tzo.com, Linux scripts are available, as well as

Subject: 2.2.1, diald, diald-control, pipe, wish
I planned to post this in a greman news group, but then I found some
postings about this subject in this news group. I made some remarks at
the end.
Hallo
Ich konnte dem reissen nicht wiederstehen, kernel 2.2.1 musste her.
Ich habe jetzt ein problem mit dctrl. Oder auch nicht.
Dctrl shickt diald ein request seine monitoring daten durch eine pipe zu
schicken.
Mit kernel 2.2.x erhalte ich folgende fehler in /var/log/messages:
Feb 12 18:04:35 localhost diald[307]: FIFO: full monitor connection to
monitor /tmp/dctrl requested
Feb 12 18:04:35 localhost diald[307]: FIFO: could not open pipe
/tmp/dctrl: Device not configured.
Diald control startet zwar, l�sst sich aber nicht bedienen.
Wenn ich nach einiger zeit den monitor request von hand an diald
schicke,
gehts wieder.
Mein workaround:
=========================================
#!/bin/bash
#diald-control starten
/usr/bin/dctrl "$@" &
# -fifo option benutzt?
FIFO=/etc/diald/diald.ctl
while [ -n "$1" ] ;do
if [ $1 = "-fifo" ];then
FIFO=$2
fi
shift
done
sleep 5s
# $! ist der zuletzt gestartete hintergrundprozess (PID)
echo monitor /tmp/dctrl.$! > "$FIFO"
=========================================
Entsprechnde Zeilen aus /usr/bin/dctrl (wish script):
=========================================
#!/bin/sh
# the next line restarts using wish \
exec wish "$0" "$@"
............
proc openFifo {} {
global fifofd monfifo monfd default_FIFO
# Turn off any previous monitoring
if {$monfd!=""} {close $monfd}
if {$monfifo!=""} {catch {exec rm -f $monfifo}}
# get new monitoring fifo
set fifofd [open $default_FIFO w]
set monfifo /tmp/dctrl.[pid]
catch {exec mkfifo -m 0600 $monfifo}
fifoCmd "monitor $monfifo"
set monfd [open $monfifo r]
fileevent $monfd readable {stateChange}
}
==================================
???
catch {exec mkfifo -m 0600 $monfifo}
???
was ist da los?
Versionen:
suse 6.0
diald-0.16.5
>rpm -qf /usr/X11R6/bin/wish
tk-4.2p2-35
und wo ist nun dieses 'feature' versteckt?
kernel, wish ,diald oder diald-control?
I had troubles using diald-control (dctrl).
I found a way to overcome this problem. (see my work around).
I think I found the line in the dctrl script that causes the hanging.
catch {exec mkfifo -m 0600 $monfifo}
of the "proc openFifo {}" fragment above.
I don't know howto track it down further.

Hi,
I'm new to Linux, so maybe I'm missing something, but I couldn't find any
information on proxy servers for Linux that can handle IRC protocol.
I definitely don't want to install Microsoft NT with its Proxy server that's
why is the question. Can anybody comment the situation?
Thanks in advance.

Subject: SIOCDDCART error
Date: Sat, 20 Feb 1999 13:33:55 +0100
Hello,
I had a box (kernel 2.0.36) with a local network, and it worked
perfectly. I was able to print on a distant box, to mount shared nfs
volumes and I used Samba ...
I compiled the 2.2.1 kernel and now when I do a route -n :
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0
lo
I tried to install the network back :
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig lo down
and I begin like in the O'Reilly's "Linux Network Administration"
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 (ok)
route add 127.0.0.1 SIOCDDCART : operation not supported by this
peripheral (in french on my box).
I can't go further.
If I don't shut down the ethO and lo, I can ping other boxes, I can
print, but I can't mount nfs volume from other boxes. (nfs is supported
by my kernel).
I can mount nfs volumes that I share on my box from other boxes.
When I try to mount nfs volumes from my box, it produces RPC error, and
I know that PORTMAPPER needs lo interface to work.
Another information : I have RX and TX errors on both ethO and lo just
after boot.
During the boot, just after kerneld starts, two SIOCDDCART errors
appear. The same errors appear if I do network start, stop.
I heard that there is no more kerneld in the 2.2.1 kernel, why does it
still appear during the boot ?
Please help, Nicolas.
Thank you.

Thanks for your inputs.
The lpd is running:
#ps aux|grep lpd
root 228 0.0 0.5 948 328 ? S 19:51 0:00 lpd
root 236 0.0 0.6 968 444 ? S 19:51 0:00 lpd
And I find nothing about lpr in the syslog.
I can't figure out what's wrong.
Thanks again.

Reject is appropriate when the ppp implementation doesn't support the

have? It's not compiled into pppd by default, see the README.cbcp
file with the ppp-2.3.5 source package.
FYI, the only ppp-2.3.5 option for CBCP is "callback xxx-xxxx" w/o the

This is likely to be a problem too. You have an existing default route
set up and, even with the defaultroute option, pppd won't replace it with
one for ppp. You likely don't need it, a network route will work fine
for a private LAN. If this leaves you confused, then RH configuration
has likely done something dumb. Someone else will need to tell you what's
what in that case - I don't run RH.

It's not a routing problem, it's just the way things are using proxy arp.
The second two addresses are on different class C networks and for proxy
arp to work they must be on the same network.

Squid will work nicely for you if you never plan on doing anything
else over the dialpup line (e.g. no need to do NAT). However, if you
will want to do other things (telnet, &c.) you'll need to set up NAT
to do them.
If you go the Squid route, simply disable forwarding in the Linux
box, harden it appropriately (comment out unused services in
/etc/inetd.conf, install TCP wrappers, set up IP filtering, &c.),
and set your inside browsers to talk to the Squid proxy. That should
be "it".

Subject: Re: Can I setup a standalone Apache Server??
Date: Sat, 20 Feb 1999 10:52:50 -0500
You do not need to register a domain name to run Apache on your computer.
You do not need to be connected to the Internet to run Apache, though if you
aren't connected to the Internet, the only way you can access the server is
from your own computer or from a computer on your LAN.
If you are planning to use the server ONLY for yourself on the same
computer, do the following:
1.) Make sure your loopback interface (lo) is enabled by typing ifconfig. If
there is no "lo" listed, type ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
2.) What domain names do you want to use? Place them in /etc/hosts as
aliases after 127.0.0.1. For example, if you wanted to use the domain name
"duckytown" (like I do on my computer), your entry would look like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost duckytown
Leave "localhost" as the first entry, though.
3.) Set up VirtualHost(s) in the /var/apache/etc/httpd.conf file. The
instructions are somewhere on the bottom. In my case, the ServerName of my
VirtualHost would be "duckytown."
This is the simplest way to do what you are asking... it gets more
complicated when you want your server to be accessible through a LAN or if
you are running DNS.

Read up on all the options in squid.conf (and be prepared for a
headache :-) ).
The option you're after is the "cache_host" config line. In general,
a line of:
cache_host remote-proxy.whatever.who parent TCP-port ICP-port no-query
should do the job. If you're pointing at more than one parent cache,
you'll have multiple "cache_host" lines and might consider adding
the "round-robin" option to the line (before the "no-query").
I don't believe Squid uses the ICP port to communicate from child
cache to parent cache (at least I haven't seen it on TCP dumps) so
the ICP port isn't used and you don't need to know it (the default,
though is 3130).

Work is pretty boring, I just keep the names basically a "standard"
inventory name for internal machines (PC1, etc), which makes it easy to
track down errant machines, and external ones have something related to
their use (ns, gw1, gw2, mail, etc). However, staff machines are named
after the person (makes it easier to work out who's got what open, or
surfing porn ;) ).
At home, it's a little more interesting. This box is called freeway,
because it used to gate mail between a BBS called The Bridge, and the
Net (known in the media as the information superhighway), so a freeway
mean the fast, direct route. :-) The Linux box is called enigma, it's
the external face of the network, and externally, I can appear to be a
bit of an enigma. :-) (and no, enigma hasn't been used in any of those
encryption cracking contests! :) ).
And enigma has all sorts of fancy routing - tunnels, some direct links,
IP masq, making whatever is behind it appear a little mysterious to a
port scanner. :-)
.. This tagline vibrates if you rub it the right way.

Magically healed! Now the browser can go to www.anyplace.org, though I'm not
sure why. Played with some /etc files, rebooted, tried again and no good.
Then just a few minutes ago, removed some comments from /etc/hosts, just
cleaning up, then a minute later clicked on a link in an email, and voila!
Do /etc/hosts files not allow comments? That's the only thing I can think of
to explain this miraculous healing. All the other /etc files having to do
with networking have lines starting with # which are obviously comments, I just
assumed hosts, too, could have these.

You can build a kernel with firewall and masquerading functionalities.
It will then compile several modules these mocules are for several strange
protocolls like irc and ftp. Invoke insmod ip_masq_irc also run ipfwadm or
ipchains to configure the firewall for masquerading.
And you can use most common protocolls.

Do you have a leased line???
Otherwise you can run those services your self. Just ask the domain name
instance to set the DNS to your ip address. Besides, when you have a domainname
claimed, it is very common that your ISP or your domain name instance f.i.
internic wil host your DNS.

You had so many [short lived] masqueraded connections that
not free tcp port is left on linux [2**64 is not so big number :-) ].
If I am correct lower TCP masquerading time-out.
see man ipfwadm for details

no kidding....
EVERYONE has doubts about their abilities.
ask Eddie Van Halen how he feels about his guitar playing abilities
and he'll probably respond with "it's ok...but i need to work on this
or that"

*Typically* rackmounted hubs are targeted at corporate infra-structure
and desktop hubs at SoHo and small offices.
Rackmounts tend to have more ports, management functions and
upgrade options than desktops ones.
On the otherhand, we've just bought a D-Link DFE-916x 10/100 dual
speed hub which comes as a desktop unit but for which rack mounting
brackets can be purchased.
There's nothing magical about 'rackmounting' in its self.
YMMV and then some on this!
