Subject: ftp problem with redhat 5.2/mandrake
Date: 6 Mar 1999 03:06:21 GMT
after a new install of 5.2 RH (I used 4.2 for the last 2 yrs) my inbound ftp
is not working. no matter what I try, the connection is refused.
what things should I look for? is PAM more picky than it was in RH4.2 days?
I'm not even trying to ftp to the root acct, I created a nonpriv user and ftpd
won't even let me login as that..
in.ftpd is there and inetd.conf has the entry uncommented. the user is NOT in
/etc/ftpusers. ftphosts is empty. ftpgroups is empty.
what else does redhat5.2 (mandrake, actually) need so that I can enable
inbound ftp's to my site?
(is there a bug in the standard shipped in.ftp on redhat 5.2, maybe?)
thanks,

I've gotten rid of Motorola Winmodem, even in Windows it can not properly
work if it is not an Intel! How about that? Intel only! Wintel only! Forget
about Winmodem, just think how many people paid for sh.. product to keep

find out what com port and what irq setting you are using first :-}
then use your man pages, look in the man pages section 8
(systemadministration) for the setserial command. Or hit setserial
--help at the command line, then configure as neeed.

I gather you mean a 'telco return' cable modem.

Well, that's true once you are connected: after that point, it's just
plain old ethernet. But they are somewhat trickier than a two-way cable
modem since you somehow need to pass it information to dial, negotiate
PPP, pass your username/password, etc. (Just like a plain old dialup:
but the modem is doing the hard work instead of chat script on your
box.)
How to do this depends on what sort of cable modem you're using: the one
we (as in cmc.net) use is from Scientific Atlanta, and they got nudged
into answering a few question from one of our users who wrote a couple
programs for Linux to make it dial, etc.
See http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~mcumings/cablemodem/ for how to do it
with SA's. It probably won't work with other brands, though.

Ken, can you post your /etc/sysconfig/network and
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 files?
The problem I see with the setup, and I'm sure someone will correct me if
I'm wrong :), is that if you're really subnetting with a 255.255.255.240
netmask then 208.136.18.16 should be the network address and 208.136.18.31
should be the broadcast address.
So either your Cisco router is also your network address and it should be
moved to 208.136.18.17 OR
you should change the netmask to 255.255.255.0 if you're not subnetting
anything.
Judging by the numbers, I'd say you are subnetting and need to correct some
lines in the above files...

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
You have to install masquerading so the first competer can warp
packets from the second computer and make them appear to the ISP
as though they were sent from the first computer.
The second computer thinks its on the network and the ISP thinks
you only have one computer which uses its issued IP address. See
mimi HOWTO's IP-Masquerade. If you have installed in RH 5.2 then
just configure it - its all set to go. Keep the default route
open for PPP in network configurator, route section. Set ip
forwarding there also.

Hello -
I have one Redhad Linux 5.2 server(PC), 25 Sun SS5 workstations and I
would like to install redhad Linux (SPARC) on all SS5 systems, using a
network installation. None of the workstations have a cdrom drive, so I
need to do this via tftp.
I scanned in the installation guide and had no luck getting it to work.
Please, if somebody can give me some tips on how to set this up. This
would be great.
Thank You

Linux does not have C2 certification. Neither does NT 4 (to my knowledge).
The last Microsoft OS that had it was NT 3.51, though I think that MS is
trying it with NT 4 now.
Please remember that it is only valid with specific hardware, no floppy,
and no network connection at all. Check out the comp.security.* groups for
more info.

I'll have to try that on another install. the way I fixed this problem was to
download the SRPM and rebuild from src. it then finally worked ;-)
so are you saying it was a CWD problem? strange... you'd think that the
standard redhat install would not have this problem. I can't believe I'm the
only one seeing ftpd failures out-of-the box.
thanks,
