Subject: Getting my act together
Date: 3 Mar 1999 02:26:37 GMT
Hello everyone,
Im new to Linux and trying to get everything to work the way i want it to
work. There are two things that i couldnt get to work. First, Samba doesnt
quite work for me. I have tried everything and have used a couple of
example smb.confs that came with the distribution (Red Hat 5.2), but it
still doesn't work.
The second thing that doesn't work is the comanche extension for Apache
that came with Red Hat 5.2. When i try to change something with Comanche, i
get script errors. And it happens with every change i try, even changes
that shouldnt cause script errors.
My request is: can i get some sample smb.confs and httpd.confs that worked
for you. i know it depends on network configurations and such, but it would
help me much, i would have some compare material, i could filter the right
things.
This is my test- network at home:
Red Hat linux 5.2 192.168.2.2 Linux
Nt4 server sp4 192.168.2.1 Cloud7 "acts as router" also master
browser, PDC
192.168.1.1
Nt4 server sp4 192.168.1.3 Cloud2
Win95 workstation 192.168.1.4 zorro
Linux red hat 5.2 192.168.1.5 cloud7web
Netware 5 192.168.1.6
Thanx for reading this, and i hope i can get some talkback

Subject: ne2000 PCI clone: HW problem?
Date: 27 Feb 1999 16:49:52 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi all,
when adding a new box to a ethernetwork I encountered some problem
that looks to me like a hardware problem:
The network: used to consist of two linux boxes with ISA ne2000
cards and 10base 2 cable. It used to work fine (and still
does for those two boxes).
The nex box: has a rtl8029 (ne2000 compatible) PCI card. It is running
a SUSE 6.0 Linux with the included 2.0.36 kernel included.
The symptoms: the card is correctly recognized by the driver, ifconfig
works as I expect and shows me
eth0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:7D:50:29:FA
inet addr:192.128.10.141 Bcast:192.128.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
TX packets:18 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
Interrupt:11 Base address:0x6300
what looks fine to me.
Now what looks wrong?
- there are two LEDs on the card, one to show I/O traffic and
one to show `network connected' (LED on) or `network disconnected'
(LED off). And this second LED is allways off.
- when I try to ping another box in the network, the number of
transmitted packages slowly goes up, but ping gets nothing back
Ping claims to have transmitted a lot more packages than
the statistics from ifconfig or netstat -i
- arp -a prints instead the ethernet address of the pinged box
`<incomplete>'
- the LED on the card signalling traffic indicates no traffic
The included diagnistics software for the card finds no errors when checking
the cards components. Unfortunately I cannot test the network conection
with this software because this needs two boxes running the software; but
this software detects unplugging the cable.
I used two different cables and exchanged the T-connectors between the
ethernet cards of the three boxes without changing the symptoms.
Well this looks to me like a hardware problem but I would like to be sure
before going back to the dealer... Is there any other possibility?
Thanks a lot for any help!
Andy

Subject: Kernel 2.0.33: Very high load caused by network driver bug?
Date: Wed, 03 Mar 1999 04:12:24 +0100
Hi all,
I have some problems with my Linux box:
Sometimes, when I access Samba or Apache server from other computer in
the network, the load on the linux box climbs up to 10 or higher, so
even the console hangs. According to a top output, the time is consumed
by the kernel (80% of the load), not by daemons or user programs. A
tcpdump on an other computer in the network showed that the linux box
rapidly sends the same TCP packet all the time.
It seems that the network driver gets stuck in a loop. A ping to the box
sometimes causes that user processes get a little execution time: I only
could run top on the box by typing "top" to the console (resp. to the
keyboard buffer) and pinging the box from somewhere else to give sh
enough time to launch the tool.
Usually, the linux box return to normal operation after one minute or
so, but the high load returns soon after I reaccessed Apache or Samba.
Here is my configuration:
Intel 486/33, 20 MB, two NE2000 cards, TELES 16.3 ISDN card.
RedHat 5.0, Linux Kernel 2.0.33 (modular), glibc2.
Apache 1.2.5, Samba 1.9.17p4.
Box does:
routing between two subnets,
masqueraded ISDN dialup,
work as remote boot server for diskless box,
run SMB and webserver for internal use
If someone has an idea whats wrong here or wants further information,
please contact me. I have neither knowledge nor time to trace this bug
(if it is one), so write if you have an idea.
Thanx, cu Hombre

Thanks. Actually, though, this is a small LAN. We're just growing by leaps
and bounds - adding a new building next spring - and I'm the only tech in
the place. So, I'm building everything with scalability, ease of management
and interoperability at the top of the list. (Especially considering that I
have 2 sites to handle, 300 miles apart.) That and it gives me the
opportunity to learn while I still have the chance ;^)

I'm new to the LINUX env. I have just installed Linux Slackware 3.5. I have

I would deeply appreciate any assistance.

No, you're wrong. The hostid is taken (on Sun hardware) from the ID PROM
on the CPU board. It's not hardcoded into the CPU itself. On Intel
systems running Solaris, I'm not so sure.
I'd be very interested to why you think Sun know whenever you turn your
machine on. Or why you believe that they could possibly give a toss about
it enough to bother? Last time I checked, there wasn't an
/etc/init.d/bigbrother
script that emailed them.
Cheers,
Chris

I must assume the omission of Challenger is intentional, but I'd like to
know whether it's out of superstition (don't want it to crash) or out of
respect for the victims and their families.
I just remembered the first large batch of machines that I had to set up

That is correct. Any address you assign to be the address one of the

All looks good to me.
You probably want to be teleneting to the address of another machine.
Try doing so.

Very curious. You've used an undocumented pppd option `-ip' to deny
IPCP negotiation. This is why there are `No network protocols running'.
I only found this by grepping the pppd source code! How did this get
into your script? Remove it and your problem should go away.
