We need to set up printer accounting on our RH5.2 servers -- to charge
users per page or per byte for all their printing. I've turned on accton, but
don't see any way right off to get print spool info from it. The print spool
itself has the info we need, although only briefly. Is there some way to
continually copy the print spool info to another file, so we can then right a
program to bill them? Doing lpq, even a continual loop, would probably let
many small jobs slip by.

Charles,
If you selected PPP and IP-Masquerading on the install then
your in there. I assume you have ppp working and can dial in and
that you can ping between machines.
PPP wants to have the default route for itself so in Network
Configuratior go to the Route option and make Default Gateway & D
G Device blank. Click Netowrk Pack Forwarding on/selected. You
should have your nameserver addresses entered in NAMES,
nameservers.
Edit a file start_masq. Put the following in there.
ipfwadm -F -p masquerade
modprobe ip_masq_irc
modprobe ip_masq_ftp
After ppp connects run start_masq and ping your other machines
then ping from our subnet the ISP (get its # from ifconfig) -
ping 10.number. If that works then try pinging form link
boston.com. If that works then DNS is ok. Then ping from the
subnet - masquerading should send it through.
The masquerading command I have above leaves your connection
open so read IP-Masquerading HOWTO on how to set it up properly.

I have killed and restarted lpd on both machines and checked that they
are running.
I can print from the local machine PC-1.
When I print from the remote machine PC-2 the job enters the que. Doing

lpd: lp: Host name for your address (192.168.0.3) unknown
There is no problems with the network as I can telnet on and off all
machines and mount file systems.
Does anyone know what is causing this problem.

That brings up another interesting point. When it stopped working, I tried
rebooting the Linux box. Didn't help. I didn't go through the whole
rigamarole of rebooting his NT boxes behind the router - I figured
something's hosed on the router side, or outside of that. Anyway, rebooting
isn't the Linux way!
Besides, the router works fine over here at my house. It's been up for days
with no problems.

Hi,
Just use 'ipfwadm'. Punch that into a usenet search and you'll get tons
of hits. It can block off certain ports, allow only certain connections,
has logging, all kinds of useful stuff! It takes some getting used to to
figure out the "rules" of allow/disallow, but once you figure it out by
using a script posted on the net you'll see it's easy.
If you're using RedHat Linux there's an RPM for it on the CD.

Is telnetd started from inetd.conf? (Do a ps when trying to telnet)
if not then your other machine gets blocked by tcp_wrappers in
/etc/hosts.{deny,allow}. That is easily fixed.
If telnetd is started you should get a login prompt. If you just
cannot login then
1) by default root cannot telnet (read man telnetd)
2) PAM may block you (read /usr/doc/pam-XXX)
3) you are using shadow passwords and telnetd does not. Get another
telnetd.

You may already have done this (I -hope- you did), but have you
tried telnet'ing to the Linux box -from- the Linux box? I vaguely
recall a problem I had years ago where I couldn't telnet localhost
or telnet my own IP address. Unfortunately at the moment I don't
recall the solution.
Nonetheless, unless you have already done a telnet localhost and
a telnet to the IP address of the box itself I suggest you stick with
that. You didn't do something screwy with /etc/hosts.allow and
/etc/hosts.deny did you?
My two cents...

Bah... Sun knows EVERYTIME I turn my system on tracked by that host id which

BTW it is a Ultra5 not really a high end machine, yet the cpu ID is easily

Hello!
I'm currently load balancing two 56K modems at work. You will need to compile
your kernel for EQL and then obtain the binaries for eql_enslave program.
Basically you need to assign the eql a static IP (the one that your isp provides
you), use ifconfig to set ALL mtu's the same between the PPP connections and your
eql device. Then, use the eql_enslave program to "enslave" the two ppp
connections.....Your done! If you need any assistance DON'T hesitate to e-mail
me.....Getting eql to work took me a fairly long time....The hardest task was
getting the eql_enslave program.....I think it's at sunsite though under
networking/serial if not there....I can e-mail them to you......
Hope you get it working!

Well, I've sort of solved my problem.
I connected a thinnet cable to the BNC connector. I ran Intel
EtherExpress softset and set the connector to BNC. I booted linux and
the boot messages indicated it was using the BNC connector. The
network, however, was still listed as unreachable. After messing
around with the routing table I got a connection. I could ping
various machines in the network. Part of my problem has to do with
the odd IP configuration I use (inside a corporate network connected
with an ISDN bridge and a static IP that's part of a different
network). Anyway, after a couple of tweaks to the rc.inet1 file,
everything boots fine; however, the problem of BNC vs. RJ45 continues.
I've got a cable connected to the RJ45 and BNC port. When I'm using
Linux the BNC connector is active. When I boot to NT, the RJ45
connector is active. Very strange. Intel Softset seems to remove BNC
or RJ45 from the available list of connectors (depends which connector
was used last).
For the time being, I've solved my problem and can live with this
setup for now. Ultimately, I believe the problem is in the card,
which doesn't mean it's faulty hardware but rather buggy, or oddly
implemented, hardware. I'm no network card guru, but I think the BNC
and RJ45 connector share something and somehow cancel each other out
at times.
I know, the problem is odd and so is my explanation.
Thanks to all that responded.

Subject: NT can, Linux can't-- I think
Date: Wed, 03 Mar 1999 02:31:12 GMT
Here's one I regret NT can do but not Linux-- tell me I'm wrong:
Plug roving Windows laptop users into the home office network, over an
internet connection (not a dialup connection!)
Linux can't do it. I got it working in Windows today after 2 weeks
seeking a Linux equivalent and newsgroup suggestions (discovered
NT/W98's PPTP/VPN).
With Linux, though I've achieved end-to-end desktop IP visibility
between 2 remote offices 2 different ways (Linux VPN HOWTO and the
tunl device) , individual rovers are not the same. Linux VPN or tunl
use a VPN server running Linux in each office to do the tunneling on
behalf of all the desktops. (Makes all their IP addresses mutually
visible, including MS machines. Everything else flows from that, such
as SMB resource sharing.) Rover has no such luxury, must have the
tunneling functionality running on his laptop itself. If he runs
Windows (which is the reality), the equivalent software to tunnel in
through a linux box isn't there. But to do so via an NT box, it's
conveniently built-in on both sides.
Don't get confused with dial-up. Linux can do that. Requires a long
distance call for the rover to get on the LAN. I want him to hop on
the internet with a *local* call from his hotel, then get to the LAN
through the 'net.
=================================================================
A Microsoft FAQ, on the essential requirements:
Can I use the Dial-Up Networking Upgrade [PPTP/VPN] to access my
corporate network?
[Yes.] While connected to the network, the Windows-based client
behaves exactly as if it had a local network connection. Except for
speed differences...network applications are unaware [the] connection
is in use.
What is the significance of the Point to Point Tunneling
Client?
The PPTP client allows a Windows 95-based system to
establish a secure connection across the Internet to a private
network. This can be used to minimize communications costs for
organizations whose employees need to access the corporate network
from the field. It can also be used as a method to allow selected
users to access a private network that is separated from the general
corporate LAN by a tunnel server.
Does PPTP require a Dial-Up connection?
PPTP does not require a dial-up connection. PPTP requires IP
connectivity [address visibility, ping-ability] between the client
workstation [eg, rover] and the tunnel server [eg, at home office].

where I have more tools and time to look at things. Thanks for the lead on
routing tables - I'll start looking into that too. Let me know if you find
anything...

Subject: linux-2.2.2-ac7 and ip-aliasing
Hello,
I am just trying to setup a webserver which will host several virtual
domains. As I do use a SMP-System, I decided to get kernel-2.2.2. The
problem now is that ip-aliasing doesn=B4t seem to work the wai it should.=
I can compile aliasing-support in the kernel, but I cannot make it as a
module. And when I try to setup the virtual network-devices eth0:x
ifconfig quietly accepts it but doesn=B4t seem to do anything at all.
Does anybody have any clue ?
Thanks in advance
Holger
