I really don't want to encourage this hardware thread in a networking
newsgroup but your statement is not true. Perhaps in the Windows world
SMP works this way (Win9x doesn't even support it), but with Linux if you
ever run more than one program at a time -- which you will even if you
don't realize it -- or use a multi-threaded program you will recieve
great benefits, especially with the 2.2.x kernel.
I know this from my own personal experience. I added a second processor
to a PII 333Mhz box, rebuilt the kernel and was blew away. I don't have
any numbers saying that SMP was x% faster than single processor, but it
was a very noticeble difference.
And now you can buy two older PII's for what one PIII costs. There is
also a company that makes adapters to allow you to use two Celerons (I
think it is microstar).

Subject: cable modem with SuSe
Date: Mon, 29 Mar 1999 23:16:07 +0200
Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to get my serial cable modem to work with SuSe 6.0?
I used YaSt to install things but first it won't let me define my own ISP
and then it just doesn't seem to communicate with my modem...
The modem is on COM1 and within Win98 it is recognised as standard 28k8
modem. I suspect it has something to do with the correct Hayes codes....
Who can help??
I once had a Slackware distribution that had something like "ppp-setup".
When I used mostly defaults I could start a connection with "ppp-go". So it
must work somehow within Linux.
Hope to hear from you,
Thanx,
Franc.

You're talking about a QoS (Quality of Service) issue.
It's not supported by IPv4, but there has been some work done on it with
things such as RSVP (the ReSerVation Protocol), but the practical answer is
no, you can't do it.

Subject: ipchains-firewall 1.6 problem
Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 16:31:32 -0600
I am trying to setup masquerading on my Linux system and everything seems to
work OK until it gets to the masquerade part. Diald detects the waiting
packets and dials my ISP. PPPD logs in and establishes my connection.
Masquerade does not run unless I type it in manually. This is the script I
got from a FreshMeat link. The script works but it doesn't run when I put
try to call it from within ip-up. Ip-up runs when the connection is
established and I have "/usr/sbin/masquerade" in the ip-up script but it
still won't run. I have to go into the console and manually type
"masquerade" and then everything works fine.
Does anyone understand why the script will not run from another script?
Thanks,
Steve

can't get it to work. I have played with mgetty since first getting
masquerading to work and I wonder if that caused it with a silly

Now when I setup up masquerading it fails on the ipwadfm command, heres

Actually you mean you'd like to route _from_ the 192.168.1.0 network

No! You would have to do something like this on your ISPs server is
you were _not_ using masquerading.

I have a rpoblem like this also, but I did find in the diald FAQ that
this is how TCP/IP works...using a dynamic IP address from the ISP as
your default route, Netscape sends it's request to 0.0.0.0 which will
start diald. diald connects and get's a dynamic IP address from the
ISP (not 0.0.0.0) so Netscape always fails on the first try! Here's
what I did (I use NT, but 95 and Linux has the same functionality)
Create a shortcut that does a DNS Query:
nslookup yahoo.com
I run this minimized so it doesn't clutter the screen.
You might need the fully qualified path if nslookup isn't in your
path. This starts diald sets your connection...then I start Netscape.
The other solution is to request a static IP from yuor ISP so that
your default route will always be the same...then this problem goes
away.

I would recommend to run samba 2.0 or something later. In your smb.conf
file set at least the following in the global section:
security = domain
encrypt passwords = yes
smbpasswd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
domain logons = yes
wins support = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
Configure your Win 9x computers to log into a NT Domain. The name of the
NT Domain is the same as the workgroup your samba server is a member in. If
you want to run login scripts you want to add
logon script = %U.bat
to the global section, and a new section named netlogon. That section
can be configured something like this:
[netlogon]
comment = Login scripts
path = /home/samba/netlogon
writable = no
guest ok = no
In the above configuration you have to create a script for every user
named USERNAME.bat in the directory mentioned in the netlogon section. The
bat file can for example contain this to mount the home share for each
user:
net use * \\yoda\homes
If you want to store each users desktop look and start menu on the server
add this to the global section:
logon path = \\yoda\profiles\%U
and create a new section like this:
[profiles]
case sensitive = no
browsable = yes
path = /home/samba/profiles
read only = no
create mask = 0700
directory mask = 0700

Hi, I am having a little problem finding the configuration utility that the
installer runs during installation. It lets you pick an ethernet card and
then it probes to see if it can find it. When I installed linux, the
installer asked me if I wanted to configure LAN but I went to no because I
didn't have the irq # and stuff.
When I type 'setup' it brings up pretty much all the configuration utilities
like the installer except the one to install the network.
If anyone could help me out I'd appreciate it.

Qmail is probably doing this because its not set up to receive mail (and
deliver locally) on behalf of users in whatever domain you have in your
$MAILHOST variable. I think all you have to do is add this domain to
your /var/qmail/control/locals file.
I have a very similar setup and I have exactly what you describe working
correctly.
