I used to work for a start up that did secure unix work for various
vendors who were bidding on some government contracts. The contracts
specified trusted networking, trusted window systems along with C2, B1,
and CMW systems. The contracts all had these incredible number of
systems that were going to be purchased...thousands. What they really
did was buy thousands of the base system and only a handful of the
secure systems. They did this to us quite a few times. The secure
system market has somewhat dried up due to the government treating the
vendors like this and now they wonder why more companies don't offer a
secure system; it is very time-consuming and expensive work.
NT only has a C2 rating; this rating is for 3.51, no network, and a
particular h/w configuration (Compaq, if I recall). They never did
incorporate RAMP, so I suspect you are frozen at a particular SP level.
I have heard rumors that NT 4.0 is in evaluation, but who knows; it took
years for us to get a CMW rating on our system. By the time the
evaluation is complete, the h/w, s/w and the market is completely
different. I think the government is rethinking the evaluation process
in order to shorten the cycle time for evaluations.
Linux could be secured; I know of several discussions that have taken
place on this subject. But to really do security right, it is a lot of
work and it really does take a special group of people; it took us
several years to get to the point of understanding what the orange book
REALLY says and how to take that bit of fantasy and make a real s/w
product out of it (that is actually useful).

Andy,
It seems like the smb.conf has an error in it and causing problems. The default
file is fairly harmless so restoring it should be ok.
You might start small by getting smbclient to work. Look at the SMB-HOWTO. Some
of the catchs are encryption = yes = OK and setting up passwords - its not real
clear you need to do it seem man for smbpasswd.
Also look at /etc/smbusers.
It looks like your getting network timeouts with sendmail etc.... Look closely
at your screen when you boot for informative messages and /var/log/messages for
hints.

It seems that you are a novice (no offence), than you should download
wvdial, this is even easier than SuSE's ppp-up YaST generated scripts.
I think that I know what the problem is, you probably chose CHAT
authentication in YaST, but most ISP's only use PAP auth.
You can check this by typing /etc/ppp/chap-secrets

I am in the process of replacing my NT Server 4.0 system w/ a RH 5.2 system.
After setting up my DNS server in Linux and shutting down the NT machine I
can't login to the network from 98/95 machines. My account info is valid on
the Linux box (user/pwd).
I am new to the Linux scene and would appreciate ANY and ALL advice!
Thanks in advance,

Subject: ppp problem
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 1999 23:16:17 +0100
Hello,
Here's my problem:
Several months ago I set up a ppp connection to my ISP from my Linux Box, no
problems. Suddenly, yesterday, it
stopped to work. Every thing goes fine until the very end, and then, modem
hangs up. Being quite a network-ppp
illiterate, I have no clues of what happened. I made a major change last
week as I upgraded to RedHat 5.2, but then,
after a few chmods, it worked fine...until yesterday. And now I have to boot
W98 and this is not fun...
Some infos: RedHat 5.2, kernel 2.0.35, modem: GVC 56K speaker phone, isp
Get2Net - Denmark.
Could you also answer by mail?
Thanks,
Francois.

Subject: Re: ppp problem
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 1999 18:39:37 +0000
Some info below. Some logs would be helpfull with debug 7.
Generic info for RH 5.2. Assumption: you installed PPP.
===================================================================
RH puts ppp scripts in /usr/doc/ppp-2.3.5
Copy ppp-on, ppp-on-dialer, options to /etc/ppp.
BTW:I have copied /dev/null to options.
These need to be made execuitable. Execute chmod 755 on ppp-on
and ppp-on-dialer
===================================================================
Modify ppp-on by editing the following:
TELEPHONE, ACCOUNT, PASSWORD
==================================================================
For exec command. put in correct device probably
cua1 (for RH5.2) and modem speed
===================================================================
Edit /etc/resolv.conf and put in ISP nameserver given you by your
ISP.
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
You usually get two from your isp.
====================================================================
execute ppp-on & and monitor logs with
tail -f /var/log/messages.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OR:
Control Pannel: Modem configuration. Select
correct device. (used in ppp-on script)
===================================================================
Control Pannel: Network Configurator: Routing: Defaults blank
PPP0 will use this so needs a blank here.
===================================================================
Network Configurator: Names: insert ISP
nameserver addresses.
===================================================================
System Configurator: PPP/SLIP/PLIP: Configurations, Add
Fill in Hardware, Communication. Assumes PAP not
required - If things do not work check with ISP.
==================================================================
Save quit. Verify /etc/resolv.conf has your ISP
addresses.
==================================================================
The linuxconf sets up most things but does not
setup the ppp-on script - that must be done by hand.
==================================================================
Testing:
cd /etc/ppp
execute ppp-on
Ping locally between your network machines to insure your ok.
Ping some net address by ip number like 10.220.10.120. Once ppp
is connected.
Verify your name server working, ping boston.com or do an
nslookup microsoft.com
When not dialed in ping someother box locally by name
to insure yor local resolution is working say if
done by the /etc/hosts and /etc/lmhosts.
=============================================================
If things do not work turn on debugging or up the level of
debugging. Edit the scripts and put debug 7 in there.
For LCP errors two common causes are the ISP is not responding
to you - he's down or you and the ISP are out of sync on PAP.

I get this message on my laptop when I forget to get
the pcmcia card going. Do an ifconfig to make
sure that you're attached to the network.

Should'nt be a problem concedering the small ammount of data involved.
We have a P133 wich is a fileserver for 40+ users. And Office is run of
the server, profiles are copied and it has no performance or resource
troubles.
The only thing that might occur with nettalk is that a nettalk instance
is created for evry user and that that may cost some memory resources.
I'm not formillar with nettalk but I think it might be the same as talk
and talk is very small.

Date: Wed, 10 Mar 1999 22:12:21 +0100
If you can telnet to the apropriate pop server then you can start
minicom /dev/ttySx and giove a atz on that port.
But I can't imagine that a ISP let you do that. (At least I would'nt
want my users reconfigureing my modems).
You should say this to your ISP, he should program the modems this way:
If the DTR is dropped, the modem should reset and then you have never a
problem that modems lose their settings.

Subject: HELP! Problems with my linux gateway
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 1999 23:54:37 GMT
After some trial and error, I finally got my 2 win boxes to go through my
linux gateway to get to the internet. This works great except for 3 problems
-
1. I get a access permission denied msg when I try to access smb shared dirs
with either of my win boxes
2. When trying to download via FTP with either of my win boxes i get a 'no
route to host' msg, yet downloading via http is fine
3. Services that need ident e.g IRC complain that I need to install ident to
gain access, yet I already have 'Enable Identd Server' ticked in mIRC.
any help is appreciated
TIA

Subject: ISDN and Modememulation
Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1999 00:47:38 +0100
Hello,
I think I didn=B4t understand:
Is it true, that using the Modememulation /dev/ttyI0 with a ISDN-Card
doesn=B4t work to dialout to an Analog PPP-Server?
And is it true that vice versa a Modem-Client can=B4t dial in on my
PPP-Server, when I=B4m using mgetty waiting on /dev/ttyI0?
So I need a Modem AND a ISDN-Card to allow dial in on my Linux-Machine
as a PPP-Server?
This point I didn=B4t found worked out clearly in Documentations and othe=
r
stuff.
Thanks for help,
Folker Wendt

Subject: Re: problem with routing
Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 07:28:59 +0800
the ip address is 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 for the linux box
ip 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 for the win box
when i try to ping the other machine the "use" number for the network
goes up by one in the routing
as to the gateway that u refer to in your mail shouldn't that come under
default???
i have tried everything i can think of will be making up a twisted pair
crossover cable to bypass the hub and see if that is the problem
although the friend said it works it shows no activity lights when i try
to ping the other machine
