Try editing your /etc/syslog.conf file
add this at the bottom:
daemon.* /var/log/ppplog
Then restart syslogd: killall -HUP syslogd
create the ppplog file: touch /var/log/ppplog
tail -f /var/log/ppplog on a terminal
then try to connect to the internet

Subject: Firewall/transparent proxy problems
Date: Sat, 06 Mar 1999 00:48:00 GMT
I am having real problems setting up a packet-filtering firewall with
transparent proxy support under Linux. The proxy server works as a "normal"
proxy, but it won't work transparently. I won't include my ipfwadm commands
here because they are long, but when I list the rules that are in force I get
what you see below. My local network is 192.25.163.0/24 and the proxy machine
is gw.nodomain.com.au (actually that's a lie, I have munged the IP addresses
and domain for security reasons):
IP firewall forward rules, default policy: deny type prot source
destination ports acc tcp 192.25.163.0/24 anywhere 1024:65535 ->
telnet,gopher,z3950,www acc udp 192.25.163.0/24 anywhere 1024:65535 ->
z3950 acc tcp anywhere 192.25.163.0/24 www,telnet,gopher,z3950 ->
1024:65535 acc udp anywhere 192.25.163.0/24 z3950 -> 1024:65535
IP firewall input rules, default policy: deny type prot source destination
ports acc all 192.25.163.0/24 192.25.163.0/24 n/a acc tcp anywhere
gw.nodomain.com.au any -> smtp,ftp,domain,www acc udp anywhere
gw.nodomain.com.au any -> domain acc tcp anywhere gw.nodomain.com.au any
-> ftp-data acc tcp anywhere 192.25.163.101 any -> gopher acc tcp
anywhere 192.25.163.0/24 telnet,gopher,z3950,domain,www -> 1024:65535 acc/r
tcp anywhere anywhere any -> www => tproxy acc udp anywhere
192.25.163.0/24 z3950,domain -> 1024:65535
IP firewall output rules, default policy: deny type prot source destination
ports acc all 192.25.163.0/24 192.25.163.0/24 n/a acc tcp
gw.nodomain.com.au anywhere smtp,ftp,ftp- data,domain,www -> any acc udp
gw.nodomain.com.au anywhere domain -> any acc tcp 192.25.163.101
anywhere gopher -> any acc tcp 192.25.163.0/24 anywhere 1024:65535 ->
smtp,telnet,gopher,z3950,domain,www acc udp 192.25.163.0/24 anywhere
1024:65535 -> z3950,domain
For some reason, this (a) doesn't intercept Web requests and forward them to
the transparent proxy running on port 8081, (b) if the transparent proxy line
(any -> www => tproxy) is disabled, it doesn't allow the machines on the
network to browse the Web directly.
Apart from that, the packet-filtering seems to be working OK - eg. ICMP
packets are not allowed through, but I can do DNS lookups from the network.
I am truly stumped. Can someone see why the filtering rules above don't let
me do what I want to do? I can email the ipfwadm commands to anyone who is
willing to help.
Huge thanks!

For the 3ComImpact IQ, you need to set register 80 to 1 (ATS80=1) which
controls MultiLink-PPP. Also, are you using PAP authentication? My ISP
will allow both PAP and name/password, but would not do ML-PPP with
name/password. Once I set up PAP it connected both B channels.

Date: Fri, 05 Mar 1999 20:23:26 -0500
Dear David Wooley,
I just read your posting on mailing.unix.squid-users regarding Squid not
caching dynamic pages; you mentioned the lack of Last-Modified and
Content-Length. I use both squid and Apache.
I have an urgent need to cache dynamic pages for a Web site. Is there
anyway I can force Squid or Apache to cache something? Or fool them? I
don't care if I have to go change my scripts to add Last-Modified field,
but will this do the trick? Or do I have to have Content-Length? The
latter obviously is difficult to produce. Will the cache limit its
storage to Content-Length if I fake it?
The main reason to cache these real dynamic pages is to reduce bandwidth
usage on the main server by mirroring without moving data and program.
The data do not change that frequently, but since they are generated
from a database, they have to be dynamic.
Thanks for any indication. (My news server sucks, so please mail me any
respond, too.)

I can speak to some of the question. Its easy to setup and
configure. Once Samba is setup its seamless on the NT/98 side.
Its just another printer icon. For Linux disks its just another
mounted share fully clickable from applications on the NT side
or just another Icon part of the Network Neighborhood fully
expandable so depends on how you want to set it up for access.
The smb.conf file can be setup for individual user access etc.

You need to specify -i (ie traceroute -i eth0 10.0.100.1)
Also, you probably should run some routing protocol (like RIP) in order to be
totally fault tolerant in a multi-nic situation.
Lets say you had the routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
eth1
192.168.0.0 192.168.0.1 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 89
eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 156 eth0
The, assume that a host on the 192.168.1.0 network chose the IP on your 10
network, it would come back via the 192.168.0.0 network. Normally, this is
fine. However, if your link on the 192.168 network went down. Adios
communicado.

hardware cost alone. Red Hat seems to cost at least $50.
Does anyone have an opinion as to which distribution is better?

Subject: SAMBA login problem from w95
Date: Sun, 07 Mar 1999 02:56:29 GMT
I have my win95 machines configured to log onto a windows nt domain,
the domain is MYGROUP.
in /etc/smb.conf I have workgroup = MYGROUP and domain logons = yes.
When I log into my win95 machines as root and enter the root password
for the linux box, I get a message that the domain logon controller
could not be found, and that some services may not be available.
After a while the machine finishes starting up, and I can connect to
the directories I created in the linux box, as well as print to the
linux server. It seems that with the exception of the logon
controller, samba is working okay.
What should I loo for regarding the logon problem?
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Subject: linux and Microsoft Proxy 2.0
Date: Sun, 07 Mar 1999 04:19:11 GMT
I've got my linux box behind a proxy server running NT4.0 and Microsoft
Proxy 2.0. Anyone know how I can get the proxy to respect the fact that
I don't want to run a Micorsoft OS on my machine? I can't get my
network to recognize anything outside the proxy. Yet it will recognize
the IPs of the inside and outside network in the proxy. Any help would
be great, thanks.

Subject: CGI with root-privileges
Hello,
while writing a few cgi-scripts for systemadministration-purposes I
encountered the problem of having to run a couple of them with
su-privileges. I do not want to run the whole apache as root. =
suid root doesnt seem to work. How can I execute those scripts with the
proper rights? I have already tried to use cgiwrap but I can=B4t seem to
get it properly configured. =
Any help would be nice.
Thanks
