Win uses by defaulpt /Auto-PPP/ So you have two ways:
1) Configure your Linux server to accept /AutoPPP/ ->
1. edit your /etc/mgetty/login.config and add there line
/AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login
2. edit your /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file and add there something like
* * "" *
Look mgetty and pppd man-s for details. In this case you will lost simple way
for callback.
2) Use scripts on Win client side -> log on as real user and start pppd
manually. Then you can use very simple way to calll back. Again look to manuals
for details.
Take a look to
http://www.tartu.customs.ee/linux/
There you can see description of callback. Normal call is much more simpler,
and I hope, info on callback page will help.

Valentin

Internic doesn't host anyone's web page. They do register your domain
name. They control all .com .edu .org .net (and maybe one other, I
forget) domain names. There are various other domain name registrars,
for other top level domains, but if you want one of the previously
listed for your domain, no matter who you pay, you get it from internic.

You can host your own web page, no problem. As long as you have an IP
address, it's easy - run a webserver on your computer. For Linux, I
reccommend Apache. Your web page can be accessed thru your IP number,
or, if you registered one, a domain name.

It's really easy. Just run apache. Get yourself a domain name, it's
easier to get people to go to and easier to remember than
132.212.12.64 (fictional IP I just made up).

I looked at your really nice page with interest, because I have a
problem with a caching nameserver. I'm trying to move from RH 5.0 to
5.2 and while a standard setup something like yours works on 5.0, it
fails on 5.2 in another partition of my system. I finally figured out
it is because for some reason RH 5.2 doesn't load the loopback interface
(lo). I "fixed" this with the heavy-handed solution of editing
/etc/rc.d/init.d/named so that ifconfig lo is run just before named is
started, but it seems a kludge.
Your page has some interesting info, but I think this problem is not due
to the bind config but must be RH 5.2 and maybe my system-specific...
Cheers,
Bob L.

Subject: ?: how is the loopback created; please help
Date: Fri, 26 Feb 1999 17:02:33 GMT
hi there. i recently upgraded from rh4.2 to rh5.2 and have since
upgraded the kernel to 2.2.1. i have no loopback on bootup.
'ifconfig' returns nothing. netcfg (nettool ??) shows the loopback
and my eth0 as present but lo does not activate when i click
'activate'.
i've tried doing 'ifconfig lo up'; it creates the loopback but 'ping
localhost' gives errors (network unreachable, i think) and 'telnet
localhost' immediately closes the connection. i get the same thing if
i do 'ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1'. i tried also doing 'route add 127.0.0.1'
but i get an SIOADDxxx (don't remember exactly) error.
i've found the ifcfg-lo in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, but i don't
know when this is called and by whom.
can someone give me some hints on how and when the loopback device is
created?? i have changed the config of the kernel (enabled smp,
sound, network card, etc) but i didn't see any config options for the
network loopback. (there is a loopback but it's used for block
devices; drives, etc, i believe. i've enable that one anyway.)
*many* thanks!

it has it's own IP address. I know I can use nprint, but it seems like

Subject: Network is unreachable
Date: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 21:44:20 GMT
I've just finished installing Slackware 3.6. Everything appears to
work fine; however, during start-up I get the error message:
SIOCADDRT network is unreachable
My network card appears to have been identified correctly (Intel
EtherExpress I/O=300 IRQ=9 10baseT).
After reading nearly all of the on-line stuff regarding linux and
networking, the only thing I came up with was that I needed to
recompile the kernel to include my network card or edit the rc.module
file and uncomment the lines that refer to my card. I opted for the
module approach. And like I said, my network card is identified but
no network.
Few other things worth mentioning: I disabled PNP in my system BIOS
before I started my installation. Also, ran the Intel EtherExpress
configuration disk and made the appropriate settings (I/O, IRG, RJ45,
etc). Not sure what else I can do.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: an idea for improving a vpn using ppp and ssh
Date: 27 Feb 1999 06:20:17 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello
A short time ago I was going to try and install a VPN for work, using
ssh and ppp on our Linux box. I started with the VPN-mini howto by
Arpad Magosanyi, and I found it well thought out, and well
constructed. However I did have a problem with one piece of it: the
pty-redir program. No offense, but it really struck me as a bit of a
kludge.
The actual project is delayed indefenetly, but in trying to figuring
out how to do a VPN, I had an idea of how to do it better. So I wanted
to run by people who ahead a bit more clue than I do. Since the
project is on hold I won't actually be able to experiment with this
any time soon.
Here's my idea:
Instead of pty-redir, put a dedicated getty program on to the slave
side of the pseudo-tty, setup up so that it calls ssh instead of
login. I know mgetty at least can do this. In this way, from the
master side of the pseudo-tty, it just looks like another modem, and
all you need is pppd and a simple chat script. I think one of the
advantages of this is that you can then use any of the ppp tools on
the VPN, like using diald so the VPN is only active when need.
I know I'm only giving a rather general description, but think it
should be enough to see if I've overlooked anything important. And if
anyone wants a more details, I'll be happy to write it out in more
detail.
Thanks

I have recently installed Red Hat 5.0, but am experiencing a strange
problem.
When I run telnet, ftp, xdm I get a long pause before the service becomes
available. So, for example, if I run telnet, it looks at me for a while,
then offers the login prompt. xdm freezes at the login screen for a while,
then goes. Once it goes, everything works fine.
Background info. I've written down everything I think might be significant.
Sorry there's so much :-|
Problem happens on both localhost and lan, but (significantly?) the wait is
different: localhost=150s, lan = 225s.
Ethernet card: Genius GE2000III. (Works fine with OSR2)
Linux: ReadHat 5.0, release 2.0.32, #1 Wed Nov 19 00:46:45 EST 1997
lan ip address: 192.168.2.1
System: Cyrix 200MHz, 48M, 120M swap, ...
No Modem.
inetd *is* staring the appropriate processes immediately.
ping works just fine. I can ping out, on the lan ping locally, and ping from
the other two (osr2) boxes I have on the lan. Ping doesn't free pausing
telnets.
Using IP addresses direct doesn't make a diffeence (127.0.0.1/192.168.2.1
pause too :-) I have nobbled /etc/resolv.conf, but that made no difference.
I used to be able to fix the problem by disabling eth0 "ifconfig eth0 down",
or by removing eth0's route entries. That seems to have stopped working.
(Strange.) Removing the ethernet card doesn't help.
I did have some networky problems when I loaded linux in the first place:
froze during boot at sendmail. Disabled sendmail, then it froze at the Samba
daemons. Disabled them, and now boots freely.
When loading, I also (accidentally) set the lan's netmask to 255.255.255.0.
I have corrected it, and am sure I've got it right. Seems to boot up right
now, pinging happily.
xdm claims not to know the name I assigned my box. It thinks it is l (one or
el). Unoriginally, I called my box "linux", so maybe it is el.
httpd also mutters that it cannot determine hostname, and mumbles about
ServerName.
"hostname" quite happily reports "linux".
Ring a bell with anybody?
