Just another note.  These messages are the same as those generated by
ifconfig.  For some reason, Linux can no longer detect the eth0 device,
while Win95 on the same machine still can.

Thanks for your response and for putting my mind at ease.  I'm currently
using pppd version 2.2, and I see nothing in the man pages about -bsdcomp.
Oh well - I'll just live with it.  :-)  Thanks again.

The problem seems to be the attempt at connecting the 2 directly
together
without a hub...

You can do this.. if you use a "crossover cable"...

Check out section 6.2 (Twisted Pair) in the Ethernet HOWTO... I think
this section you might have missed...

http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO-6.html

I hope this helps...

Subject: PPP Problems (configure-nak/rej ? error)
Date: 28 Feb 1999 03:21:06 GMT

Hi

After using RH 4.2 (I think) for the past few years, I decided to upgrade
to RH 5.2, and am having troubles getting PPP to work.  It worked fine
before when I set it up with netcfg.  Basically, in Windows, I dial in,
enter a username and password, then at the prompt, type 'ppp', then enter,
then hit F7.  I am setting up the account the same way I had it before, I
am assigned an IP number by the server, no PAP, but am still not able to
connect.  I included a little bit from /var/log/messages below.
Some of the problem looks like it may be trying to use Appletalk or
something.  The kernel is compiled with PPP support.  The problem may be in
my /etc/ppp/options file, although I can't remember how it was set up
before.  Does anyone have any suggestions about what I can try?

Thanks
Brad

-> [snip description about problems compiling diald on redhat]

I went through this just a few days ago.  I'm not on a Sparc, though.

Rather than commenting out that stuff, you need to tell the compiler it exists.

I've included my code changes below my sig.

It wasn't a very clean patch, but I was in a hurry to just get it done.
I'll probably clean it up and submit it to the author tomorrow.

To use the patch, switch to the directory diald-0.16 and run:

patch -p 11 < patchfile

(Compiles without a warning on my machine)

Hope This Helps!

Try the DNS HOWTO.  I don't have any problems running a caching only DNS
with a dynamic IP.  You do have the /etc/resolv.conf with
"nameserver 127.0.0.1" in it don't you?

You can use DNS to do this kind of load balancing with lbnamed:

I think that the cheapest way to go here would be to find a used Cisco
router with a WAN and 10BaseT interfaces. V.35 Interfaces for a PC are no
doubt available but probably expensive. I have seen used Cisco IGS/R
routers for less than $150.00 and 320X series for $200.00. I just can't
imagine that you could do this cheaper using a V.35 interface and would
most-likely lose some flexibility as well.

Jeff,

It might be informative to try this:

append="ether=9,0x320,eth0"

And confirm that the other card works with the settings shown ? It has
been lierally years since I used LILO to pass parameters to multiple NIC's
but I think your syntax is correct.

Bill

There are several providers of names for dynamic IP's. ml.org was the
biggy, but they've shut down. The one I use currently is www.tzo.com.

Subject: ipchains & udp logging
Date: Sun, 28 Feb 1999 04:08:27 GMT

I am running a 2.2.1 kernel with ipchains & ipmasq on a 'firewall'.  While
trying to tighten security, I decided to set up logging to determine when
people are probing the machine.  I've included the configuration script
below.  Note that I'm trying to create a very paranoid configuration - just
to see if its possible.

I think I've tightened it up as much as possible - internal computers can
get out over any protocol (including PPTP eventually), but external
computers are stopped from touching any port on $MYIP.  I log all tcp
packets coming into $MYIP with the SYN bit set (I can probablt combine the
two rules which do this...).  I allow TCP and UDP in for the higher ports
(1023+) because of IP Masquerading.  I currently allow ICMP for testing, but
I'll probably disable it eventually.

IP Masq'ing seems to be the largest security hole.  I've heard that it might
be possible to reduce the range of ports used by it by editing the kernel
headers somewhere - any info would be appreciated.

My question is about logging.  I can reject and log TCP packets coming into
$MYIP  if they have their SYN bit set (i.e. connection requests).  I block
all incoming UDP access below 1024 and log it (this might turn into a
problem if someone floods a UDP port), but there doesn't seem to be any way
to handle the higher UDP Ports.  I assume they need to be open for MASQing
to work - correct?  Is there some way to log incoming UDP requests
separately from masqueraded UDP Requests?

Any help is appreciated.

    -LP
