Subject: tunneling through a campus LAN ?
Date: 8 Mar 1999 21:00:39 GMT


Let's say, hypothetically of course, that I have a Sun Solaris machine "marsbase"
with dedicated ISDN line on a Pipeline 75 "ISDN router."
Let's call the segment with marsbase and the router "marsnet."
The other end of the ISDN line is "earthnet."
The router configuration is frozen and I cannot change it,
and the only place it can call is earthnet, which is behind a corporate
campus firewall.

I also have root on a friendly internet-connected Linux machine, outside
the firewall, "babylonstation."
And I have a user (not root) account on "earthmole" which is on earthnet.

Marsbase can telnet to earthmole and earthmole can telnet, FTP, and HTTP
to bablylonstation through a proxy.  Other ports are not open
in the routers, except for DNS.

"Marsbase" cannot telnet to the world because of the firewall,
and the world cannot telnet into anything behind the firewall.

Now, I want to add a Linux PC "rebelbase" to marsnet, and the users on
rebelbase want to see the Internet as if they were on babylonstation.
If they can't have total transparency the rebels will take what they
can get.

We have:

       [marsnet]                       [earthnet]        [Internet]

rebelbase --+-- router ==[ISDN]== router --+-- firewall --+--+--+-- bablylonstation
            |                              |
            |                              |
        marsbase                        earthmole

Can this be done?  What do we run, where?  Which HOWTOs cover this
kind of tunneling?


TIA

I had something similar with NS 4.05. In my home .netscape directory I
deleted the preferences.js file. When starting NS again a new
preferences.js was automatically made and everything worked fine again.
Of course be sure to make a backup copy of the file before you delete
it, just in case.

Redhat has a how to for upgrading 5.2 to the new kernel, it outlines all of
the packages you need to update, and walks you through it.

I guess you are talking about RedHat 5.2 Linux. If so,

  cd /etc
  /usr/doc/bind-8.1.2/named-bootconf.pl < named.boot > named.conf
  ./rc.d/init.d/named stop

xntpd and xntpdc seems to work on my RedHat 5.2 Linux (at home i just

It's compiled as a module in RedHat 5.0 and 5.2 Linux (and it was also
in my old Slackware 3.1). You might look for the ppp.o module of your
precompiled kernel with:
  /sbin/modprobe -l ppp*

Modules are automaticaly loaded by the kerneld daemon ( /sbin/kerneld ).

modprobe, kerneld and other module utilities are included in the
modutils-*.rpm package (modutils-2.1.85-9.i386.rpm on RedHat 5.2), so
you might test if modutils is already installed with:
   rpm -qi modutils

and if kerneld is runing:
   ps ax | grep kerneld

on a RedHat Linux box.

Hmmm... I've had a Linux box, 2.0.35, with lpd pointing to a SCO box, 5.0.2c
with OSS468 and 449.  Both have been up for many months now with no
problems.  Did something break in newer versions?  I'm getting ready to

What do you want to accomplish? Samba has absolutely nothing to do with
your cable modem. Samba would be for you to share files and printers
using the IPX protocol (and similar microsoft and netware protocols).

If you're interested in being able to browse from both computers at
the same time, than what you want is IP masquerading. The home page
for IP masquerading is http://ipmasq.cjb.net and has most of the
info you need on it. You are better off with 2 nics, but not required.

If you get the login prompt, that's not the telnet problem.  Are you

You changed the start page? That only changes what web page shows up
when you start up netscape and click on the home button.

Check in preferences, under Mail & Newsgroups, the Mail Servers section.
You should be able to change it there.

It works fine under AIX 4.2.1 and below.  With AIX 4.3.x, they changed
a LOT of the NFS subsystem.

There are 2 solutions to get AIX to mount a Linux export.

1) Add nfso -o nfs_use_reserved_ports=1 to the AIX system's startup
   sequence.

2) Change (assumeing RH 5.x) the line under start in
   /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs to read:

        ;; Start
        daemon rpc.nfsd --allow-non-root

What is happening, is AIX is trying to mount to using a non-secure
port (> 1024), and Linux won't let it.  --allow-non-root means that it
will take a port > 1024.

I have noticed that AIX 4.3.x causes the nfsd to crash (b37)...  But,
that's why I'm even reading this group now.

you may have failed to mention the fileservers present OS,
but i'll assume windows NT(?)

you might want to start by setting up a firewall/proxy and or ip
masquerade using linux, and keep your fileserver internal
and not directly connected to the internet. now all 12 workstations
will have access to the internet and if configured correctly well
protected. if that is what you want...

install linux on a workstation, extra-computer or think about migrating
to a linux fileserver over time, save yourself the teardown and then
possible
rebuild if it for some reason doesn't work. i always err on the side of
caution
when there is months or even years of work at risk. The cost of phasing in
one
extra fileserver is easily offset by the man hours it takes trying to
restore
something you lost from backup. or even the headache alone of putting it
back
they way things where before.

i am entirely bullish about linux in office and in critical situations, but
think
of the time to train yourself or others how to access it, administrate it,
or
recover from some unforseen disaster. Linux will work as a fileserver just
fine
but this deserves some kid gloves, make sure all of the devices hanging off
 or in the fileserver are supported by Linux. all the devices listed are
supported
if memory serves, but cdwriting is alittle more tricky under linux than NT,
as is
most things with *NIX and you will need time to adjust, and backups are just
too
important to flirt with...

in short, i just want to preserve the gratification you'll feel when the
word
" user liscence " disapears from your vocabulary coupled with the increased
performance of linux as a stable fileserver platform over NT. ;-)

We built up a SUSE linux V6.0 system with sendmail. We would like to run
several hundreds of domains on it.

We want to give every domain a separate IP-address (for logging
purposes).

We defined 200 IPs for testing, everything seems to work.

But if we send mails via SMTP to any other IP than the first (x.x.x.1),
there comes up a message saying "Networ error, Connection reset by peer"
in the mail client. Not alsways but the bigger the mail, the more often
it happens.

Every helpful comment is welcome.... Please also direct your answers to
my mail-address

Thanx
Johannes

ok...i'm frustrated...
i'm running RedHat 5.2 on a P133 with a Linksys Ne2000 card, PNP disabled,
and cant get out of localhost
i have a Win98 box, a Mac 7200, and the Linuxbox, all networked thru a
LanPro hub

linuxbox is 192.168.0.1, winbox is 192.168.0.2, Mac is 192.168.0.3,
IPv4 is off, proto is none,
Ping doesn't get me anywhere..."host unreachable"

BUT...i installed netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.1 and it works!
(which means, i assume, that the cards and hub and ethernet setup on the
linuxbox work)

any suggestions on something to try?

First of all, thanks for your answer. It was very helpfull, as you can see
:)

Downloaded skey for linux +pam..

I followed all the steps, but it doens't seems to work :(

I just edited /etc/pam.d/su (or login, but when I try to login doesn't ask
my for sky password).
Don't really know what to put in this file, so I just copied the other
lines, and substituted all .so for pam_skey.so...

 auth             required /lib/security/pam_skey.so
 account       required /lib/security/pam_skey.so
 password    required /lib/security/pam_skey.so
 session       required /lib/security/pam_skey.so

and then I run keyinit:

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]# keyinit
Adding root:
Reminder [blabla...]
Enter secret password:duarte cordeiro [not showed]
Again secret password:duarte cordeiro [not showed]

ID root s/key is 99 sa16333

(on another shell)
[duarte@sauron duarte]$ key 98 sa16333
Enter secret password:duarte cordeiro
SINE JOG COCK FUM RIFT HEWN

(Back on su -l window)
[duarte@sauron duarte]$ su -l
s/key 98 sa16333: SINE JOG COCK FUM RIFT HEWN
su: incorrect password
[duarte@sauron duarte]$

on /var/log/messages (when s/key waits for password):

pam[5284]:unable to resolve symbol: pam_sm_acct_mgmt, pam_sm_chautook,
pam_sm_open_session, pam_sm_close_session


.....one in each line

Maybe I've made something wrong while configuring PAM, no ?


Thanx for all the help ,

Date: Mon, 08 Mar 1999 16:07:06 -0500

Has anyone had a problem with rexecd like this one?  I am trying to do
an rexec from a remote OS/2 box.  This works with my SCO Open Server 5
and 3.2v4.2 boxes.  I see in my /usr/adm/messages that the request came in
but my command does not execute!!!!?!?!?
|johnny:~# telnet tom
|
| OS/2 Version 2.4 (tom)
|
|Enter your password: .......
|
|[<tom>-C:\]rexec -l root -p ......... johnny ls -l
|.... AND NOTHING EVER HAPPENS - NOR DOES THE PROGRAM RETURN ....

In my /usr/adm/messages I get:
Mar  8 15:50:31 johnny in.rexecd[18094]: connect from tom

Any suggestions?
Thanks
Johnny O

This is a very common situation, usually involving IP Masquerading.
IP Masquerading is basically the same as NAT. Check out 
http://ipmasq.cjb.net for the official home page. IP Masq is built into
the kernel. I have it running on a 386 with no hard drive and it runs
beautifully. Check out http://www.linuxrouter.org for info on how to do
that.

It's definately worth learning and doing. You end up with a good 
understanding of a lot of stuff you otherwise wouldn't know, and
soemthing to brag about. ;)
