The netmasks should be 255.255.255.0, since you're using the first three
octets for the network address.

If possible, use dhcp to configure the clients, this way you can centrally
change all the ip's, gateways, etc.

Maybe sendmail wants to send the mail directly, even though you're offline.
Try this:
# avoid connecting to "expensive" mailers on initial submission?
O HoldExpensive=True
# default delivery mode
O DeliveryMode=background
Msmtp, P=[IPC], F=mDFMuXe, S=11/31, R=21, E=\r\n, L=990,
^ the "e" flag marks smtp as expensive, leave
all other flags as they are.

Also, search for "maps.vix.com", if you've got any lines like:

It isn't a nameserver problem. It's a sendmail problem.

Run xdm on the server, and type something like "startx -- -broadcast" on the

Well, www.replay.com was too busy to talk but I'm not sure what there
could bear on the problem. You can compile client-only MSCHAP into pppd
`
with the instructions in the README.MSCHAP80 that comes with the source
package, and perhaps the NT would allow reciprocal authentication with
MSCHAP.
But that's a moot point here since it was PAP that was negotiated - the
request for MSCHAP was rejected by pppd and the rejection accepted by the
company NT.

I just got my own modem working so I'll take a stab here... most people
seem to suggest setting the PnP jumper on the modem to "off" and
manually configuring your IRQ and base address. My Diamond Supra 288i
doesn't seem to have _any_ jumpers on it and is PnP, so I went in via
Windows to get the port/IRQ information and then plugged that into
setserial. However, before that could work I had to run "pnpdump >
/etc/isapnp.conf" and then edit it to select the proper port/IRQ (I
guess port == base addr) for the modem.

Subject: Appleshare on Linux
Date: Tue, 02 Mar 1999 07:39:40 GMT
I went through the trouble of configuring Netatalk on Linux, but now I
have some questions. First of all, nearly 8 hours after booting my
Linux system, my log finally show appletalk services loaded. Here's a
portion of it:
atalkd[334]: restart (1.4b2+asun2.1.0)
atalkd[334]: zip_getnetinfo for eth0
last message repeated 2 times
atalkd[334]: config for no router
atalkd[334]: ready 0/0/0
papd[345]: restart (1.4b2+asun2.1.0_
afpd[354]:AFPServer@* started on 40.1:128(1.4b2+asun2.1.0)
afpd[354]: ASIP started on x.x.x.x:548(1) (1.4b2+asun2.1.0)
For security reasons, I did not included where ASIP started on.
However, what I don't understand is why 1.4b2+asun2.1.0 restarted, and
why zip_getnetinfo was repeated twice. And why did it take so long to
start these services?
I tried using ASIP on my client, and I did get "Connect to file server
_________" as, but when I entered an appropriate username and password,
I get the message
"The connection to this server has been unexpectedly broken". Does
anybody have a clue what I'm doing wrong?

Date: 2 Mar 1999 13:20:04 GMT
Hi,
I have two webservers with the following configuration:
SuSE Linux Distribution 6.0, Kernel 2.2.2, 128 MB RAM, Adaptec 2940 UW
SCSI,
3Com 3c905B Cyclone Ethernet Adapter, Apache 1.3.4
The only difference between the two boxes is that one of them is a
Compaq Deskpro EN6350 while the other is a noname PC with an Asus P2xx
motherboard.
The Problem is: The Compaq box runs fast and stable while the other box
crashes unexpectedly after a while. There's no entry in the system log
whatsoever, it goes down without leaving any information on where the
error was. This is very bad as I just convinced my customers to use
Linux instead of NT and now I#m in trouble argueing for the Linux
solution.
My questions is: Can the combination of the SCSI adapter with the NIC be
the source of the problem? I read something on Donald Becker's page
about PCI Interrupt Sharing being a potential cause of problem with the
3Com NIC. However, on the Compaq box the SCSI adapter shares the
interrupt with the NIC and everything's runnig fine.
Did anybody experienced similar problems?
Any hints and pointer appreciated.
Regards
Stephan

A sangoma card from www.sangoma.card will do that fine.

the sangoma software may be a bit breif but its not recket science
do what it says to do and it will work .
and baby cisco products are problably NOT going to do 2mbs
that is, you pay $500 for 300kbs ppp and thats all you get.
the sangoma card will do ppp or frame relay at up to 2 mbs,
you get a 2nd port for a backup or a remote office to connect to..
we use sangoma card's to make a frame relay pop in a box.

My experience the last two days is almost identical to the above. I've
read the README.MSCHAP80 file and done everything it says (supposedly).
I've re-compiled pppd with the MSCHAP options uncommented. And I've
"made" the DES libraries. I just get a LCP: timeout sending Config-

There is a SAMBA pluggin for Linuxconf that puts the area in there.
Unfortunately, I don't remember where I got the pluggin. I was just looking
for it myself. However, if you go to www.samba.org and follow a link to a
Samba site, there is a section for GUI interfaces to configure SAMBA. It's
helpful.

Subject: Re: Samba & win98 write permissions
Date: 2 Mar 1999 08:32:10 GMT
Your first reply is great information. I would probably add one other thing
myself. Configure the SAMBA directories with the group SETUID. You can go
to the parent directory and (as root) type chmod -R g+s to set it for all
subdirectories at once. Then set the group ownership to the group you want
to have RW access, ie. chgrp -R <groupname>. The nice thing about this
configuration is that everyone that is a member of the group can create
files and everyone can modify each other's files. This would be for an
exchange type directory where you want everyone to be able to read and
write all the files. If you don't do the chmod -R g+s, users will then
create files that only they can edit. That, of course, may be desirable
too. If you want others to be able to read them, just make sure that the
create mask and the directory mask are set to 640 so everyone can create
files that will be readable by everyone else in the group.
The RedHat manual discusses USER private groups. That is where this
solution is described.

Date: 2 Mar 1999 08:31:51 GMT
I haven't yet used Samba 2.x.x. But, with 1.9.18, I don't thing Samba could
be a true Domain controller. However, you could set up the Windows machine
to log into it as though it were a domain controller. What it couldn't do
was validate users for remote shares. That where it differed from being a
true PDC. I think the newer version is supposed to allow this.
I've used Samba several ways: 1. as a workgroup server with security=share,
2. As a domain login controller in a standalone environment, 3. As a domain
login controller with security=server with a true NT PDC validating the
login ids. Once the configuration is right, it has always worked like a
champ. One thing you might check is to make sure that the username and
password on the Compaq machine matches the usersname/password on the Samba
server. If it doesn't and you have encryption enabled, you won't be able to
see the machine at all. Once you get those in sync, it magically appears.
Try a NET USE command at the DOS prompt to see what type of error message
you get....always helps!

If it's any consolation, there are so many things that cause rundll and
spool32 to crash that I can't count them all. Stange though, my RedHat
Linux desktop has never had any DLL crashes. For that matter, there have
only been about 2 or 3 times (in about 3 years of Linux and 7 years of
HPUX) that I've actually had to reboot a UNIX machine to recover from some
type of error. Someday, maybe, the world will be all Linux desktops. Of
course, I'm sure we'll still have plenty of problems. But, way fewer
crashes....of course, unless the Windows programmers take a crack at it.
Then, I suspect we'll start seeing more lockups....then again, maybe not!
