We here have a network running with samba server and win 95. recently one of
the memebers has migrated to win -98. We are unable to authenticate his
password. The samba server always responds as password incorrect what could be
thee possible problem

Yes, it looks like a routing problem. Let us see your routint table with
netstat -rn
Also, check if the DNS works as well in both directions. Try putting each
others hosts in /etc/hosts

I think that my tcp_wrapper and securenets is correct but
I'm probably wrong.
I have the following
/etc/hosts.allow
ALL: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
ALL: 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0
ALL: 127.0.0.1/255.0.0.0
ypserv: 127.0.0.1/255.0.0.0
/var/yp/securenets
255.0.0.0 127.0.0.1
255.255.255.0 192.168.0.0
Isn't this correct? I added the ypserv entry after I saw
your other post on this thread. I thought that by having
the ALL: entry that all programs could access localhost
so ypserv didn't need its own entry.
Bye.

There is no module ppp0. Either fix your diald config setup, or stick an
alias for ppp0 in /etc/conf/modules, like this:
alias ppp0 ppp
Maybe that will help?

rmt uses rsh anyhow. All rmt does is allow better control of the tape
drive. The security is as good or bad as the rsh implementation that
you use.

Subject: Win95 not working with IP masquerading?
Date: Sun, 07 Mar 1999 04:09:45 +0100
Hi
I have a cable modem and three PCs. One of those is my masquerading box.
It has one NIC and the IP that I've got from my cable provider.
Everything is connected to just one hub. I've simply put ipfwadm -F -p
masquerade since I only have one NIC in the masquerading gateway. Now,
on my working PC I have installed Linux and Win95. For both OSes I made
the very same network settings (some intranet IP and the masquerading
box as gateway). Why does Linux work and why does Win95 NOT work with
the same settings? Where is the difference? What do I need to change?
Be it Linux or Win95 running my main PC the little network consisting of
those three PCs and the cable modem is working perfectly alright - as
long as it does not come to the masquerading issue!
The masquerading box is a 386SX, 8MB with the Linux Router Project
minidistribution (2.0.36). Don't laugh at that poor old SX - it's doing
a very good job!
Could please send me a mail too? Best Regards... Thomas!

Win98 (and WinNT) can just authenticate with encrypted passwords.
Now there are 2 possibilities.
either:
What you need is password encryption for the samba-server.
There's a good help file on your Linux-system:
ENCRYPTION.txt
It describes what to do if you want to encrypt your passwords.
This possibility makes sure intruders cannot read the passwords for your system

change a registry on all Win98 (Win NT) computers you have:

Subject: simple routing question
Date: Sun, 07 Mar 1999 18:28:10 GMT
Ok, my brain hurts! i just can't see what i am missing. i think that
this is something very rudimentary but i just can't seem to make it
work.
i have 3 boxes, 1 nt4.0 server, 1 nt4.0 wstn and 1 linux box. The
linux box has 2 NIC's in it. The plan: to be able to connect the two nt
boxes through the linux box. as it stands i have the nt wstn at
10.32.0.2 and the nt serv at 10.64.0.2 with the corresponding linux
NIC's at 10.32.0.1 and 10.64.0.1. from the wstn (10.32.0.2) i can ping
10.32.0.1 and 10.64.0.1 but not 10.64.0.2. The same from the ntserv; i
can ping 10.64.0.1 and 10.32.0.1 but not 10.32.0.2. What sort of
routing table(s) do i need on the boxes? Do i need to set up special
routing tables on the nt boxes? Is it obvious that i am new to routing
? Visually my setup looks like this:
10.32.0.2 (ntwstn)-------| 10.32.0.1 eth0 // linux box // 10.64.0.1 eth1
|---------10.64.0.2 (ntserv)
the ultimate goal (expect a few more cries for help as i make my way up
the learning curve) is to be able to browse the nt boxes from one
another and to use the modem in my linux box to connect to the internet
from both of the nt boxes.
thanks,
dean

Offhand, I would suggest grabbing the source (both ssh and sshd come bundled
together) from one of the following sites:
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/unix/security/login/ssh/ \
ftp://nic.funet.fi/pub/crypt/mirrors/ftp.dsi.unimi.it/applied-crypto/ \
ftp://rzsun2.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/pub/virus/crypt/ripem/ \

ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/security/crypt/cryptography/asymmetric/rsa/ \
ftp://isdec.vc.cvut.cz/pub/security/unimi/crypt/applied-crypto/
This list is from /usr/ports/security/ssh/Makefile on my FreeBSD box, so the
source might be labeled "FreeBSD" in some cases, but that shouldn't make any
difference. I've yet to see a set of source that compiles on FreeBSD but
doesn't on Linux (and vice versa).
> > : 3) Where I can find a SSH Client that run on Windowz?
Can't help there. Another problem is that, to my knowledge, there is *no*
windows `scp` client. Bummer.
> > : Any other thing I should beaware of?
Yes. If you plan on setting up RSA keypairs to allow password-less
authentication between machines, be sure to remember that each box uses the
*reverse* DNS name for authentication purposes. Do an nslookup on the *IP* of
the machine you're connecting to (or from), and use that name rather than any
local hostname.

I am trying to set up a network where I am connected to 2 different

but they only listened to the 2 links. The outgoing packets still went
through the default router which was statically set to a router on one
of the ISP's. I want to be able to dynamically send the outgoing packets
to the other link in case the primary link goes down. Any ideas on how
something like that can be done.
I can have 2 NICs in each machine for the 2 links or I figure I can
"safely" merge the 2 links with an ethernet switch. Whichever way I do
it, the problem would be dyanamically setting a new default route when
the primary default route goes down.
Would I have to set up a router to do something like this. I don't have
much experience with routing, but I started fiddling with routed. It seems
like the routers that my ISP's don't use the same protocol that routed uses.
The routes never get established to them and when I force one by putting
something in /etc/gateways, it disapears after the 3 minute timeout.
Any tips, or pointers to where I can get more info on this would be
much appreciated.
