2) Also it is possible to use free software from Babylon (www.spellcast.com),
however, it does not

Subject: Problem with new mail showing up in EVERY terminal window...
Date: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 01:28:22 -0500
Every time I receive [a] message[s] in my mailbox, [all of] the
message[s] is/are displayed in every terminal window(xterms, virtual
windows) I am logged on to or have open. I thought it may be because I
was using fetchmail (checking mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED]), but I sent
a message directly to my mail server
account([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and the same thing happened. I
think the problem is that everytime a new message appears in
/var/spool/mail/trey (my mail spool file) I am notified by having every
message displayed in every terminal. A simple "You have new mail in
/var/spool/mail/trey" would suffice.
It's not a problem per se, just REALLY, REALLY annoying. I'm sure it
has a simple solution, I just don't know where to look.

I've heard that one could configure a port on the master
so that it is linked to a port on the slave.
some use it for web services or alike.
maybe is it part of the solution ?
I agree that I should anyway find a way to
advertise a listening CORBA port on a slave
as a listening maskeraded port on the master...
it look strange that nobody have treated this problem,
either with MICO, or with a firewall-like gateway ...

The 3c509 driver usually finds the card easily, and I say this as
someone who uses 3C509s almost exclusively. There's one catch, though:
you have to make sure you turn off the plug-and-play setting if you have
a 3C509B. (The original 3C509 doesn't have a PnP mode.) You do this
with a utility you can download from the 3Com website; look for the
"Etherdisk III".
Note that the 3C509 defaults to I/O port 300, which is where you say
your NE2000 is. So, even if you're sure that PnP isn't a problem, run
the Etherdisk tool anyway to make sure your 3Com board isn't conflicting
with the NE2000. Also, the Etherdisk tool will be able to run tests on
the card to make sure it's working right.
Good luck,

Are you trying to login as root? Intentional security measures prevent
root from logging on via telnet (all someone has to do is sniff the
packet for the root password).
So, rather than tell you how to defeat this, let me suggest two other
ways of accessing your box...
1) login as a normal user an "su" to become root
2) install SSH (secure shell)
SSH is the preferred option. Right from the get go, the link is encrypted
with a PGP-style private-key public-key method. Works great. Install the
daemon on the linux box and get an SSH client for whatever box you are
working on (yes, there are free 95/NT SSH clients).
Hope this helps,
Luca

Reply-To: "Bill Weedon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Tue, 23 Feb 1999 14:28:05 GMT
Hi. I'm still trying to get X-windows clients to be accepted from
a specific known host on my filtering firewall with masquerading.
Apparently X-windows uses tcp ports 6000:6003.
I think the ipfwadm command should be of the form:
ipfwadm -F -a m -P tcp -D $ROUTER_IP/$ROUTER_BITS 6000:6003
But if I specify my DISPLAY variable on the external client as my router
IP address, how do I tell the router to forward the X information to my
local machine inside the firewall? Is there a better way to do this using
a filtering firewall with IP masquerading?
Another thing is my local machines don't have a DNS address visible
from the outside. So I can't specify the local machine in the DISPLAY
variable on the outside X-client. Is this normal?

Hi,
I'm working on about the same problem you have. RedHat 5.2 is also running on my
machines.
I discovered some things:
by default, ip-forwarding is turned OFF. So you first have to turn it ON:
in the file /etc/sysconfig/network just turn the "IPV4_forwarding" to "yes".
The RedHat 5.2-Kernel should defaultly support the whole firewall-options.
So install the program "ipfwadm" (e.g. with "glint"). With ipfwadm you can set the
firewall-rules.
It should be in the "glint-folder" /utilities/system of your "available packages"
then set a rule by typing:
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.125.0/255.255.255.0
Means: any package from your network is forwarded by masquerading to the
default-route.
I tried the same method. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Maybe you'll experience
better!
One more thing: set the rules to the init-script, as on every reset, you have to
tell the system the rules!

Greetings
We are running a Compaq Prosignia 300 with Red Hat 5.1. We hav got 2 Intel
EtherExpress 10/100's in the machine.
We cannot seem to get both cards working at the same time. They word alone
but as soon as you enable the two of them they both stop working.
The hub with the LAN on it is connected to the one card and the other to the
router which connects to the internet. What steps need to be taken to get
these cards up and running and what IP's need to be assigned (ie. same
subnet or sperate subnet's?) so that information routes between the two
cards and onto the router.
Thanks
