Subject: linux raw etherwrite
Date: Mon, 01 Mar 1999 15:38:26 -0500
Hi,
I tried to write a simple routine (user-level) to
do raw ether write using the how to info I found
at www.theochem.uni-duesseldorf.de/docu/linux-howto
/Ethernet-HOWTO-3.html
int s=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_PACKET,htons(ETH_P_ALL)
This is what I did:
if ((fd=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_PACKET,htons(ETH_P_ALL)))<0)
{
perror("ether_init: open failed");
return(-1);
}
uaddr.sa_family=AF_INET;
strcpy(uaddr.sa_data,"PACKET");
bind(fd,&uaddr,sizeof(uaddr));
return(fd);
}
when I tried to compile, it complains of
/usr/include/net/sock.h:381: parse error before `select_table'
What does this mean??
I think my main question is after I create the
socket, what do I need to put in uaddr.sa_data and
whether I need to do a bind and connect before
I can do issue a sendto command
Any suggestions will be much appreciated

What steps did you take to make the card work? Remember that Linux isn't Plug
and Play at all. You must load drivers, assign IP's etc.

When you register a domain name with InterNIC, they will want to know a
few things. First, they will want contact information about the domain
name. Secondly, they will want IP addresses and host names of the
machines that will be providing DNS for the domain name. You must have at
least *two* machines that will be providing nameservice for the domain
name.
InterNIC will then update the various root servers with the new domain
name and the nameservers where information about those domain names can be
found.

If you are planning on using your own computer as one of the required
nameservers, you will need to register that computer with the InterNIC as
a 'host'.

It would be preferable to have the computer up 24/7. You can leave the
primary server down, but that will increase the traffic to the secondary
nameserver.
One thing you can do is to have your computer function as an 'unpublished
primary' name server. To do this, you register your domain name with the
InterNIC, using two nameservers *other* than your computer (we'll use
ns1.foo.com and ns2.foo.com). Set up ns1.foo.com and ns2.foo.com to be
secondary servers, pulling their DNS data from your computer. Set up the
refresh/retry/expire rates so that they won't expire your zone too
quickly. Then, all DNS queries will be directed toward ns1/ns2.foo.com,
and they will periodically get updated data from your nameserver.

DNS should really be done on a 24/7 basis.

If you're using standard IP Masquerading, as it sounds like, than you
just find out the last IP address you've got in use, and add one. If
the last IP is 192.168.0.123, than when setting up the new machine,
tell it that it's IP address is 192.168.0.124 and you'll be all set.
There shouldn't be any other work required, nothing on the server side.

Looks bad to me. I would either cinch up access to telnet from the
outside world, or secure FTP on the internal machine. Even better, do
both. If you don't need to telnet in, turn off port 23. The same goes
for any other service you use...check /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf
for lines to comment out to disable services.

I installed Suse 6.0 and Slackware 3.6 and have with both troubles on

Can someone give me hint how to solve this problem or where to find a

The TR PCI IBM 16/4 card must be configured as a full compatible Original IBM

This work fine for me ...

It's almost working, to test it I tried a redirection from port 8080 to

Without the ipportfw I get an "unable to connect", but nothing happens with
the redirection (I get a "making connection to ...:8080).

I've been having similar problems. I just stops routing me out on the computers

OK, I've read all the posts and decided to add my two cents. You should go
ahead and bite bullet and enable encrypted passwords to solve this problem.
The other is easier. But, then you have to touch EVERY Win98 or NT machine
and configure the registry to allow clear passwords. Been there, done that
and have switched to encryption.
Here is the catch: Your login ID AND password on the Windows98 machine have
to match the username/passwd pair in the smbpasswd file or you will not be
able to map a drive. Even if you get a prompt to enter the password, it
does not seem to work. I've tried it several times. The only way to get it
to work (which it does GREAT!) is to set up the user/passwd the same. It
also works if your logging into an NT domain and have Samba set up to use
the NT server to validate logins (security=server in smb.conf).
You also need to read everything in the ENCRYPTION.txt file and don't
ignore anything. I struggled at first then realized I overlooked some
things. You must use the smbpasswd program to modify passwords. The nice
thing is that, if Samba is set up to be a Domain Login Controller and your
PCs are set up to log into the "domain," you can use the Windows password
change program to change the password on the Samba server!! You can also
set up Samba to keep the UNIX passwords in sync with the encrypted
passwords.
Two more things: 1. Use the makesmbpasswd.sh to initialize the smbpasswd
file...MUCH easier. 2. Just a pet peave of mine, why map a drive unless you
have to. Use \\<servername>\<sharename> wherever you can. It simplfies
explaining network drives and shares to users.
Guess that's all for now. Hope this helps.

You also should check the /etc/inetd.conf file to make sure that logging is
enabled for the ftp entry. It should have a -l in the command stream.
