I recommend Debian because:
1. Close to the actual philosoply of free software (a warm fuzzy reason.)
2. An extremely conservative philosophy with a strong emphasis on quality.
Example: the Debian people wanted to announce a new version at the big
Linux conference in San Jose, CA. They found some sort of bug, though, and
delayed the release for a week, even though everyone wanted to celebrate
the release at the conference. Serious party opportunity missed, all
due to obsessing over quality. I don't believe the bug was all that serious.
3. Once you get it installed (installation is not as easy as some other
distributions,) upgrading is a snap using the apt program. It will fetch
the upgrade, automatically fetch any new libraries or programs that the
upgrade needs, remove all obsolete software, and install the new packages
with all dependencies intact.

I don't believe this per se, but I would not put it past MS. Actually, any
time you run an application that registers itself over a network of some
kind (dialup etc), you run the risk of that app connecting to the net and
sending stuff back. It is a huge problem. Actually, I would then argue
that having a secured way to send a unique CPUid back over a network, with a
canned version of things like name and address, etc, built into the OS,
would probably be better than having an app indiscriminately send stuff
back.

Ummm... forgive me for testing my current understanding here (new to this
stuff)... but if I read you correctly you're running SATAN on the box
you're trying to secure...
If so, then logic as well as the reports I've read suggest you can't do
that... as much because the fox is already in the chicken coop as for
SATAN being designed to batter its way in... not out. --At this point my
thoughts get kind of byzantine and I'm left with an image of a devil
choking the hell out of himself...
SATAN is not a self-diagnostic tool. You have to run your test from
another box... over the net.

I just FINALLY got my modem setup. In minicom, it connects just fine.
However, if I try to use chat, it doesn't do crap. Can anyone give me a
hand with it? Here's the commands I've been using:
chat "" ATDT2920390 CONNECT "" Username:lorddane Password:guess
Also, as an entire script, I've used:
pppd /dev/modem 57600 connect '/usr/sbin/chat "" ATDT2920390 CONNECT'
noipdefault defaultroute lorddane guess
Also, how would I setup the primary and secondary DNS? And, again, why
won't it even INIT my modem? I've even tried that ppp config thing in
XWindows, too. Doesn't do anything. Am I setting minicom up wrong or
something?

Subject: RedHat 5.2: telnet and ftp problem
Date: Sun, 07 Mar 1999 15:15:08 -0600
Hello All,
I have installed RedHat 5.2 (2.0.36 kernel) Linux on a pentium 166 with
a 3C509 card installed. The installation went OK. Here is the
problem. When I try to telnet to my box with either the Windoze 95
telnet or HyperTerm personal edition (the one that supports WinSock), it
says that it is connected and telnetd is running on the Linux box, but I
do not get a login prompt until after about 1.5 min. The linux box is
not running anything that is taking up resources. I reinstalled about 3
times and the third time I upgraded to the 2.2.2 kernel (which went OK)
but to no avail. I recompiled my kernel taking out firewalling and all
that other stuff that I thought would cause a problem, but it still does
it. I have read a bunch of FAQs, the RedHat unleashed book, and the man
pages for inetd, telnetd, and tcpd but have come up with nothing. The
real strange thing is that I can telnet to my Slackware installation
(2.0.30) just fine. FTP acts the same way. HTTP seems to work fine
(although I have only tried the generic Apache web pages that come with
it). I have tried a slew of different IP and netmask combos (both some
that make sense and some that do not) with no positive results. Once
the login prompt comes up, everything is ok. If my session gets
disconnected for some reason, when I reconnect, it goes through the same
process. The bottom line is that I am out of ideas. I consider myself
fairly knowledgeable when it comes to IP, but I have more to learn than
I know. Am I missing something? Has anyone else had this problem?
Could someone please help? If I sound like I am begging, well..., I'm
pretty desperate. Thanks in advance. :)

Linux NAT is pretty straight forward. Enable IP fowarding and IP
firewalling when compiling the kernel and play with IP masquerading
parameters. Search for IP masquerading/Linux on the Web and you find
excellent documentations.

Subject: Re: Help - route table needed
Date: Sun, 07 Mar 1999 16:27:06 -0500
The following is copied from another reply I just posted. You just
replace nt4s, nt4w and associated IPs with your values. The trick is
the last part: you almost must recompile the kernel.
Network configuration files in Red Hat are (unfortunately) under
/etc/sysconfig/netscripts. (System V style.)
---
You'll need three things to make it work:
On nt4s: use 10.64.0.1 as gateway to network 10.64.0.0/255.255.255.0
(the netmask is my guess to your subneting plan);
On nt4w: use 10.32.0.1 as gateway to network 10.32.0.0;
On Linux: a little tricky. The routing table is trivial:
route add -net 10.32.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0;
route add -net 10.64.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth1
Ultimately, when you initially configured your NIC the setup program has
probably done this for you. Type "route -n" you should see something
like:
---
10.32.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1500 0 502 eth0
10.64.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1500 0 502 eth1
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 3584 0 691 lo
---
But you MUST have kernel IP packet forwarding enabled, AND run something
like gated. (I don't know why the latter but it works that way.) The
tricky part is that any sensible Linux distribution must have IP
forwarding disabled by default in compliance with standard. You need to
compile the kernel yourself, or ask someone to do it for you and install
the new kernel. Running gated is trivial but most likely you need to
compile it. Most Linux distributions come with routed. It also works,
but it is said to screw up the PPP interface (I experienced this
myself), which you intend to have for your Linux.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Simply check that named exists.

"named" (pronounced "Name D") is the name under which you
conventionally install the executable file that functions as the DNS
server. BIND is a particular implementation a DNS server that can be
installed as "named". (This is just like Apache and httpd).
In normal situations the only "named" you ever are likely to encounter
is BIND. Warning: I have never used RH and it is just possible that
they also ship an alterative lightweight DNS server.

I suspect your Win98 has too short a time out value? Since you do use
tcpd, it will reverse lookup host name according to your /etc/host.conf
(the most common scheme is hosts,bind) before checking against plain IP.
Test with the following:
Use one Win98 with known IP. Write an entry in /etc/hosts like this:
10.0.0.58 win98.your.domain
(10.0.0.58 would be that particular box's dynamic IP.) The telnet from
that particular box.
No guarantee it'll work but good luck. If it works, you'll probably
need to set up a local DNS to cover all the IPs your dhcpd assigns, if
your LAN is big. If you have only a couple of boxes, write a few most
encountered IPs in /etc/hosts. (dhcpd has the tendancy to reuse leased
IPs.)

It's part of imapd, which comes with the standard Redhat distribution, and I

yeah, that's a problem [with SP3] that M$ themselves documented (with
patch)
on their website. incidentally, as soon as they realized they were
publishing
the fix to a problem they intentionally created, they removed any
reference to
the fix. i wonder what their motivation was? could it be they don't
want
samba to work?
at any rate, i read an article at:
http://www.vcnet.com/bms/
that specifically mentioned NT4 and SP3 and how samba was broken.
unfortunately,
they're heavily weighted towards the anti-M$ theme. while they do have
some
insights as to 'what got broken, when, and by whom', they don't seem to
have any
references to the cure, at least last time i looked.
they did say the NT4/SP3 fix required a registry tweak on the NT box to
get it
to cooperate with samba. again, they didn't say what the tweak was.
with a
little research you might find someone who nabbed the fix (before M$
deleted it)
and is making the info available. remember - 'the truth is out there'.
;-)
good luck,

As I always point out whe this is asked in c.o.l.m, this question is
fequently discussed in the newsgroups about DNS. Go read there for
lots of answers.
I've never understood why leaking private IP addresses is considered a
problem. They do not leak unless someone explicitly comes looking.
If they do come looking the information won't help them to harm me.
Anyone on the internet can do:
$ dig @wcl-l.bham.ac.uk -x 192.168.0.1

1.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. 4D IN PTR gateway.wcl.local.
So what? Why should I let this worry me.
Do you have lots of GLOC, HINFO and TXT records that contain sensative
data?
