Question:
I want to run a web server inside my Linux IP Masquerade firewall that
can be accessed from the internet. How do I do this.
Standard Answer:
A pin hole allows incoming connection to go through a firewall to an
internal machine for a specific service. There are two ways that I know
of to open a pin hole in an IP Masq Linux firewall without proxying.
Both are mentioned at the IP Masq resource page at
http://ipmasq.cjb.net/ or http://www.tor.shaw.wave.ca/~ambrose/ They are
redir and ipportfw. I tried redir first, and while it works and has the
advantage that you can test it from inside the firewall it has the
disadvantage that the logs on the web server show all connections as
coming from the firewall. ipportfw is a kernel patch and a utility to
change the kernel tables. It's advantages are it's faster and the logs
show the correct source. It's biggest disadvantage is that it's only
testable from outside the firewall. ipportfw information is at
http://www.ox.compsoc.org.uk/~steve/portforwarding.html and redir is at
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Heights/2288/redir_0.7.orig.tar.gz
Any pin hole poses a security risk as it bypasses your firewall. Use
them with care.

No problem. Have the Linux box make the SMB stuff available as AppleTalk
services. Just make sure the Linux box sees the printers, file servers, etc.,
and then make then visible to the Macs. Requires a bit of fiddling, but
works.

I want my Linux-box (Debian 2.0, Kernel 2.2.1) to, transparently to
clients, redirect POP3, SMTP and News requests to predefined servers.
What I mean is that the client would think that it 'speaks' to my

How do I do a such thing? (Is this port-forwarding?)

When I worked in a research organization in a major corporation I
established a convention of naming machines after American Indian tribes,
e.g., Apache, Caddo, Cherokee, Choctaw, Conestoga, Creek, Kiowa, Mohawk,
Osage, Pawnee, Pottawatomie, Seneca, Tonkawa, Waco, Wyandotte, etc.
Choctaw, my workstation, was initially a Sun 4/110 (ca. 1987)! Ten years
and several hardware generations later some of those names persist.

Actually, there are two problems with the current implementation of the
ibmtr.c driver on Linux. Here's the text of a internal-IBM USENET
message that I posted internally that describes the problems:

Ok, this is probably an answer to a question that no-one asked for, but
I figure that it's better to spread the knowledge than keep it under
wraps.
Recently, I've been hacking around with the extent driver (ibmtr.*) on
both 2.0.xx and 2.2.0-pre kernels for Linux. I've since found a few
issues with the efficiency of the current driver, esp. regarding
receiver congestion at the adapter level.
First of all: the annoying messages that spit out on the console every
2-5 minutes that look like:
anasazi kernel: tr0: Line errors 01, Internal errors 00, Burst errors 00
anasazi kernel: A/C errors 00, Abort delimiters 00, Lost frames 00
anasazi kernel: Receive congestion count 00, Frame copied errors 00
anasazi kernel: Frequency errors FF, Token errors 00
are incorrect. The driver's header file had an incorrect implementation
of the error log read SRB, so the information returned is actually garbage.
On a fixed version of the driver, the information turns out to be:
anasazi kernel: tr0: Line errors 00, Internal errors 00, Burst errors 00
anasazi kernel: A/C errors 00, Abort delimiters 00, Lost frames 00
anasazi kernel: Receive congestion count FF, Frame copied errors 00
anasazi kernel: Frequency errors 00, Token errors 00
This is more accurate. What's causing the excessive "noise" from the driver
is that the receive congestion counter is overflowing, which means that
every time you see a message pop up, the adapter has run out of receive
buffers 256 times since the last error. Ick.
Further investigation shows that the driver is not using shared RAM paging;
this is an issue that I'm tackling with Paul Norton, the current driver
maintainer. What this means is that if your adapter is configured through
LANAID to use only 16 KB of Shared RAM, the adapter doesn't have a lot
of space for receive buffers. This causes the receiver congestion, and
hence, lots of messages.
I recommend that, until paging is implemented on this driver, that the
best thing to do is max out the ISA adapter's shared RAM mapping. This
is done for more modern (ca. 1994 and beyond) ISA adapters by using LANAIDC
to change the /RAMSIZE to 32 or 64 Kbytes. You'll have to play around with
shadowing and other things to configure the most Shared RAM. Two
recommended configurations are:
/ROM=CE000 /RAM=D0000 /RAMSIZE=64 (for 64KB shared RAM)
/ROM=D6000 /RAM=D8000 /RAMSIZE=32 (for 32KB shared RAM)
Doing this will minimize--if not totally eliminate--adapter receive
congestion, and in effect, shut up those pesky error messages. Of course,
less receive congestion is always better.
Hope this helps!
--- end message text ---
BTW: The developer of ibmtr.c, Paul Norton, is aware of both the
paging issue and the problem with ibmtr.h that causes the "receiver
congestion" errors to show up as frequency errors. The problems will
be taken care of in a later release of ibmtr.c. You can check out his
progress at http://members.cts.com/crash/p/pnorton/tr.html.
(For those reading this INSIDE IBM... I have an internal page at
http://linux-tr.raleigh.ibm.com/ that contains some useful info. Check

I have a couple of terminals, Memorex Telex 1476 and 1489. I think they used to be
connected to an IBM AS-400.
My question is: Is it a all possible to run any of these terminals
connected to my Linux Box?
If so, what kind of terminal would I tell getty to expect?
At least the 1489 seems to have serial port (RS-232) , can anyone confirm this?
My 1476's only seems to have some strange network connector. Is this
"thick ethernet"?
If this is at all possible, any help on the setup (config) of the terminals would also
be greatly apreciated.

I'm trying to set up a RedHat 5.2 firewall box. I have 2 NICS installed
(1 SMC EtherPower 10/100, 1 3Com 905TX 10/100). ifconfig shows
them using the same IRQ and either card works fine when I bring the
other interface down.
This is on a (*&^#) Gateway box which has plug-n-play turned off in the
BIOS. I still am unable to change the IRQ on either card via LILO at boot
time (And the ethernet howto does say that the cards may not allow it).
If I can't set the IRQ on the card (via the setup software) and I can't
do it in LILO, where else would I set it?

We're running a Novell Netware 4.11 network in our office. I have set up
a Linux box to be our intranet. No problem. Everybody can see it. I
want to give somebody access to it so they can post their own web pages
to the server. But they don't want to do ftp. They'd rather make a
drive letter on their NT Workstation to access it.
Is Samba the answer here even though we are on a Novell network or is
there another solution? I have tried setting Samba up but haven't had
much success. I can see that Samba is running and I can see it in
Network Neighborhood on my NT Workstation. But when I click on it,
nothing happens. And the 'Map network drive' selection is greyed out.
Am I going in the right direction or is there a "Novell solution"?

You might be able to do without IP masquerading if you know what services
you're going to use, and then install proxies for those. Most people only
need http, ftp, mail and news, and for those you don't need masquerading.

I'm running Squid 2.1; this works very well as my FTP/HTTP cache and it will
even filter out advertisements. For example, you might say in its
configuration file acl ads urlpath_regex .+/ads/.+gif http_access deny ads
and this stops your Windoze box downloading any GIF in an /ads/ directory on
any website. Squid configuration can be difficult at first.
For news, I'd suggest running leafnode (1.9) which is especially designed
for small systems where only a few people read news. Trivial to set up.

OK... here are the basics...
In the dark ages there was Arcnet...
Then there came Ethernet. Ethernet is just a signalling protocol and
doesn't care what medium it is carried over (coax cable, twisted pair
wires, fiber optic cable, wireless). In fact, it's original role was to
create a wireless network hence the "ether".
Anyhow, the first flavour of physical cabling was called thick net or
10Base-5. It used a coax cable and these things that you clamped onto the
coax cable and had a pin that pierced the insulation and made contact
with the wire in the coax cable. It had the advantage that you never had
to disrupt the cable to add another drop.
Then came 10Base-2, which also uses coax cable (RG-58U) but now, instead
of piercing the cable to add a drop, you had to insert a tee. Which meant
cutting the cable, putting BNC-connectors on the two ends, putting a BNC
tee in between. Then, you twist the tee onto the coax ethernet card in
the computer. 10Base-2 came into being because it was cheaper. It has a
major disadvantage in that any break in the cable, which are now more
common 'cause the cable has to go to every computer, will cause the whole
network to go down.
Both 10Base-5 and 10Base-2 are big loops with computers hanging off of
the one loop. No hubs necessary.
But since the "single loop" has limitations regarding how many computers
you can put on it and because they are unreliable with respect to single
points of failure, then a star-topology network was developed: 10Base-T.
It uses 2 twisted pair wires (like phone cable -- not recommended)
instead of coax. Cheaper cable but now you need hubs. But the wire is
point-to-point between the hub and the computer. So if the user kicks his
wire, only he goes down!!
Then came 100Base-T, which also uses two twisted pair wires but requires
cable that has been rated to Cat-5 (frequency, cross-talk, etc.).
So, you need to be able to tell the difference between a 10Base-2 and a
10Base-T card: a 10Base-2 card will have a round connector similar to the
F-connector on TV's for cable; 10Base-T cards have an RJ45 jack which is
similar to but larger than a standard RJ-6 telephone jack. Some cards
have both.

Hard to say, but it sounds like a corrupted object. You should run
DSREPAIR on the NetWare server and also check the Novell Knowledgebase

code.
Good luck,
Vas
