Well by adding the setserial command to rc.serial, I have set all the ports to
the same IRQ. I assume this is safe, since there is no device on any of the
serial ports.
However, I am still getting a boot message stating that the eth1
initialization is delayed. I am wondering if it is the rc execution order.
That the serial ports are set after the eth1 attempted initalization? In
order to confirm I have been trying to use insmod /lib..../3c905.o
"ether=0,3,eth1" put I get an error on insmod saying "symbol for ether not
found". How do I pass the parameters to the module when using insmod?

I have read and experienced this interaction between Solaris
and Linux.
Solaris uses file locking in NFS by default and Linux does not.
I have experienced file trunkcating under simular circumstances.
Linux kernels 2.2.x NFS can use file locking. This is how I fixed
my problems.

No, b.b.b.b can trust this only if they trust the sysadmin of this Linux

i had the same trouble with my intel etherexpress pro/10 isa network card.
use eepro instead of eexpress, and add the following to /etc/conf.modules:
alias eth0 eepro
options eepro i/o=<INTERRUPT> irq=<IRQ#>
you can also do this using the interface tab in netcfg in x-windows.

Correct. The log message said that identd on the Linux box was answering a
query that it received from bbb.bbb.bbb.bbb. IDENT queries come from
servers trying to log who is connecting to them. Sendmail and tcp_wrappers
can be configured to perform IDENT queries, and some other servers may also
do it.

Is there any difference in network load between the two machines? I have
had problems with machines with 3c900 cards which hangs at heavy network
load. Example of such network load could be being an NFS-server for NFS
installation of Slackware or doing rdist between machines of big file
systems. When those machines hang they do not respond to ping and they
seem completely dead, it is not even possible to toggle the num-lock or
caps-lock leds, only a hard boot would help. By replacing the network
cards I got rid of the problem.
I don't know if this is your problem, the 3c900 is an older card than
yours and is only 10Mbps. However, they use the same driver (3c59x.c).

That is because when you open the cua device before carrier is present and
the device is not otherwise busy, then the open will succeed. With ttyS
the open will suspend until carrier is present, unless you do a non-blocking
open. Dialer programs like chat must be programmed to do excactly that; or
they won't work.
If cua and ttyS showed the same behaviour, there would not have been any
reason to make a separate cua device in the first place.
If you have the mgetty package you might try to take a look at the
following file: (redhat 5.2)
/usr/doc/mgetty-1.1.14/ttyS-cua.txt

Probably not the same version. I have checked right now, and found
that my provider's WinNT-based FTP server:
"220 alr333 Microsoft FTP Service (Version 3.0)."
does not work, while a apparently BSD-Unix based server
"220 this.org.net FTP server (Version
wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-18-VR13](1)"
does work.
ftp.microsoft.com, also works, but reports:
"220 ftp Microsoft FTP Service (Version 4.0)."
Probably there is a bug in the 3.0 Version? Or at least a
difference?

Which sidesteps the most important issue--if root on his box is going out

You problem is related with relaying, You should check your sendmail.cf if
it contains something like FEATURE(promiscuous_relay)dnl,
if not, add it, just for a test, after that you can investigate the

The cua and ttyS ports have never shown the same behavior. The ttyS
port is POSIX compatible, and the cua one is not -- the differences
are basically for compatability with very old software that was
written before POSIX.

Sorry to say, but if you really want to become a programmer, you will have
to expand your Windows programming experience. If you are looking for
Unix/linux-only work, you are limited mostly to industrial and simulation
environments. My work currently involves programming on a three tier
environment - Unix, VAX, and Windows (mostly Designer/Developer 2000).
I am 28, with no computer-related degree (I have a technical certificate
that says I can fix TV's and VCR's). I have an MCSE certificate, which I
obtained by writing all 6 exams in a 7-week period. I got the job by a
combination of the following: I have 6 1/2 years in support/break-fix, a
couple years in networking. While working in support for my current company,
I became involved in a project to migrate a custom, critical application and
environment from Calgary to Edmonton. This migration involved UNIX and
Windows portions. It went extremely well, and the company asked me to join
their critical operations team in a support capacity (I was contracted to
them by a third party at the time - they wanted me to work for them
directly). I accepted. Our team then landed the opportunity to develop some
large, complex systems, and I've been programming ever since, my preference
being the UNIX side.
20, no degree, no paid work experience - it's not going to be easy. I'm in
Edmonton, Alberta, and your resume wouldn't make any short-lists here. I
can't imagine B.C.'s much different in that regard.
If you don't want to go the University route, consider a college or
technical school (like NAIT or SAIT in Alberta - don't know the B.C.
equivalents) - unless you'd like to start on the roundabout route I took, in
which case you should get in at a support role if your experience justifies
it. Prove yourself knowledgeable and talented, and you will move up
eventually.

This leaves too many variables open if (when) it doesn't work. If there is no
support for IP Firewalling, Forwarding, Masquerading et al. compiled into the
kernel, he's just going to end up giving up because it won't work. The only
way to know for sure is to configure and compile a new kernel. It's not a
horrible thing. In fact 'make xconfig' is quite nice. Read the kernel howto
and jump in.

Right. First learn how to compile a kernel. Getting your hands dirty is the
best way to learn about what's going on with your system. It also makes
installing and/or fixing things later on down the road. And like I said
above, if your kernel doesn't have the proper support compiled into it,
you're destined to fail.

I think this is bad idea. You need to understand some things before nailing
a linux router up without knowing much about it. Compiling the kernel will
force you to learn *some* of those things.

I disagree. Putting off learning important things before doing something
potentially complex leads to making big mistakes that don't show up until
later. And you may never get it working at all - mostly because you don't
understand what's going on.

I say, jump in. Learn how to configure, compile, and install the kernel.
It's not all that bad. In fact it's not bad at all if you use 'make
xconfig', read the howto's, and the help in the xconfig. Then you'll know
for sure that your kernel has support for masquerading, and when you go to
set up masquerading and something's not working, you won't need to worry
about that unknown.

Subject: cisco like accounting on linux
Date: Thu, 04 Mar 1999 21:24:39 GMT
I have been playing with the kernel ip accounting, but I find it
somewhat limited. You have to create the rules in advance, and after
collecting data there is no way to reorganize the way the traffic is
counted.
What I'd really like is "dynamic" ip accounting like that on the cisco
routers. They create new "rules" every time a pair of addresses is
seen on the router, and if the same pair communicates later, the
counter associated with it is increased. You can collect this data
from time to time and parse the results as you like.
Is there some way to achieve similar results on a Linux based router
or has someone written a separate tool for that?

The D-Link DE220 ISA works well with the standard Linux NE1000/NE2000
ethernet drivers (module ne.o). You have to configure the card IO-address
and interrupt of the DE220 with the D-Link DOS program SETUP.EXE (available
in driver from www.dlink.com).
Then configure I/O-port and/or IRQ at module load time or let the system do
a scan for an NE-X000 card.

Greetings,
I and having trouble with Samba and NT4.
I am using RH5.2, and I am able to Telnet, FTP and Ping into the Linux
box, but for some reason, I cannot see the Linux box on my network.
I have checked all of the "obvious" (to me at least) information in
smb.conf, but to no avail.....
Thanks in advance
