Is there a way to do a RedHat 5.1 reinstall from CD and not mess up all
configuration that has been done and taken some time? could just the bin
and sbin directories be replaced from CD? This person crashed system from
working as web server, ftp server a week ago. Spent two days wiping and
reinstalling not realizing cause of problems was cracker. Then they came in
again and I caught. After caught implemented the tcp wrappers, tripwire etc
and reconfigured ftp and logs. They had deleted log files and ftp
directory.
Is there a way to do a file comparison of everything in the bin sbin
directories to the install cd?

NO! pppd doesn't assume anything about the modem
except that it is /dev/modem
1) ls -l /dev/modem
this should show you that you modem is /dev/cua2
2) setserial /dev/cua2
This should show you how Com3 is configured.
The default IRQ for the first and third serial port is IRQ-4
This can lead to a timeout condition if your mouse is on Com1
since the mouse will always have a position when it is probed.
That may be the problem. If so, find a way to move it to Com2,

I don't think the SCO driver will work. If it's NE2000 compatible, just
treat it as an NE2000 - use Linux's ne driver. Also, use the card's
configuration to disable pnp and set specific IO and IRQ address if
possible. You will have to do this from a DOS boot disk, since most
cards
don't come with a configuration program for Linux.

BTW, SuSE can be downloaded for free, and installed thru FTP, AFAIK.
It does not necesarily have to cost $70, that's just for official CDs,

Subject: DNS, Mail, News and Internet access
I am currently running Redhat 5.2 with the 2.2.2 kernel. This PC
acts as a DNS server, Mail server and an gateway to a Cisco 1603
router which connects to my ISP. The way it works at the moment is
that windaze95 workstations lookup the linux PC and packets that are
meant for none local recipients are sent to the default gateway which
is the Cisco router. This ISDN router dials the ISP and forwards all
packets. Mail is configured in a similar way.
Is this the quickest way to connect to the internet and send mail via
the
internet or are their quicker ways such as IP forwarding and
Masquerading?
Also are there any benefits with having a local news server as well. If
there are
how do I configure one?
Any suggestions or hints would be great.
Thanks

I'm using Redhat 5.2, current errata. This machine is on a Network with a
win98 machine being the dialer for the net with port mapping and NAT server.
When I use another Client win98 machine, ident gets mapped properly like it
should. When I try and map it for the the box.. Doesn't work. So its
narrowed down to a linux config problem. When I telnet to that port from the
internet.. it works fine. ie: accepts the connection, What it sends. I don't
know. nslookup works fine.. Gateway is setup properly.. I can access
everything fine. All other ports map correctly. ie: pop3/smtp/web/telnet. I
can telnet to 113. For those of you trying to jump the gun.. yes I know you
can only port map things to one place. Yes, I did these tests at seperate
events. It is now currently mapped to the box. I've looked through the doc's
and the closest i got was talking about a proxy relay. But It was for a
client I do believe. Putting the modem on the box is not an option at this
point because I don't have more than 1 ip. And Ip masq doesn't do all that I
need it to do. If you need any more info, please email me and I'll be glad
to give it. Thanks for your help in advance,

Once the root kit has been installed, your best bet is to wipe the
drive and install from a CD again. The root kit replaces executable in
the bin and sbin directories and is almost impossible to remove

Actually many RPM distributions are a mess also. I much rather build
some distrubutions from scratch as you would on HP-UX or SunOS such
as Apache, Emacs, Perl and Perl/Tk. I have installed these using RPM
and gotten some pretty naff results as will as noncanonical install

YMMV.

I have a Siemens I-Surf V2.0 ISDN card that I've been using on my Win98
platform and I was hoping to make it work under Linux. Since it is Siemens,
I thought I could use the HiSax driver for the Siemens chipset. The
directions to installation do not mention my modem as either supported or
unsupported. I've been in the process of trying to dynamically load the
HiSax driver, but with no luck (I don't know what my card type is).
Does anybody out there know if the I-Surf card is supported at all? What
type of card is it according to HiSax?
I'm have RedHat 5.1 (upgraded to kernel 2.0.36), and have isdn support via
modules compiled into the kernel.

I, too, have cox@home cable service. It was very easy to set up. Just
get your network info from winipcfg in Windows, or they probably already
printed out your info for you. Then, when set up those values in Linux
as your network. I don't know what distribution you have, and can't say
as I can remember how linuxconf works, but it should allow you to set up

If you NIC is detected and working, then that's all you have to do. It
seems that your NIC won't be a problem.

Isn't this statement missing the redirection target, i.e. information
about which host to forward UDP packets to port 22555 to? You need to
specify either the host directly, using the '-h' option, or set up the
control channel for dynamic forwarding with the '-c' option. Both take
arguments, in the case of '-h' it's the IP address of the host that
you want to redirect to, with '-c' you specify the UDP or TCP
destination port that triggers the forwarding rule.

I don't know if RedHat even has ipportfw. Try typing ipportfw at a
prompt, or man ipportfw. Really, it doesn't need much of a man page,
so you may be able to figure it out from the default help it gives
when you run it with no options.

I'd suggest you don't worry about 100mbit cards - you can get cheap 10m

It is worth noteing that cron under RedHat uses su and account nobody to
perform some of its regular work. Check the /etc/crontab file and the
various /etc/cron* files to find all the details.
