Are you sure about that subnet mask? I've never seen a subnet mask that
didn't start with 255.255.255.x ...
The easiest way to get the card detected is to uncomment the line:
/sbin/modprobe 3c509
in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules.

The next question is how frequently requests are repeated. If you
have such a vast number of possibilities and the requests are essentially
random, a cache may not be able to help. On the other hand if you
have a large percentage of repeated popular requests it could make
a big difference if you can tune the cache to only hold the popular
ones so the lookup is quicker.

Not necessarily. If there is any structure at all to the requests
you could do client-side redirects from a server on the primary
address to force the client to send the query to a server with
the correct smaller subset of the data (or cluster of servers).
Apache's mod_rewrite handles this task pretty well.

I think expecting the cache-sharing to be faster than an NFS file
lookup is a little too much to ask. However, squids working separately
on smaller subsets might work well even if they all fall through to
the same orginal backend server.

Perhaps, if you can't split the job on boundaries that conventional
programs can handle. But back to the NFS-related issues that started
this topic. Did you investigate the coda file system which claims
better client-side caching than NFS?

Have you added the adapter for the network card and the tcp protocol that's
bound to that
adapter. If you only have a dialup adapter it won't work. Or only one tcp
protocol that's
bound to the dial-up adapter. You need two of each, one for dial-up
adapter and one
for the network card. As far as the host file is concerned. There should
be a sample hosts
file in your c:\windows directory (hosts.sam). Copy/rename this to hosts
and add you
appropriate network host names.

That is correct, you do not need to touch the routing table on the
Linux box that is acting as a gateway.
You do need to specify the Linux box as the default gateway on all the
other machines on the LAN. This is, in effect, issuing a route command
on those boxes.

Hi;
Are you giving any special arguments to dhcp when you're running it?
I've been reading that I should be supplying a host name with a -h
option; however, no combination of hostname, -r, or fully qualified
domain name seems to work with kernel ver 2.0.36 and dhcp ver 070.
I'm beginning to think that I'll have to get kernel ver 2.2.3; however,
that seems like a bit of overkill to me...
Thanks.

actually, it was not SUCH a big deal in the end setting it up in my
experience. i think the best advice is to go step by step by step - can you
connect from one machine to the other ( ping etc ok?) can you see the server
from the clients? etc... there is a DIAGNOSIS.txt with most
samba-distributions i have seen - it descibes the steps and what can go wrong
in , i think, plain understandable words, and hints what to do or check
next... try not to expect THE ONE BIG RESULT in just one step

is the forward performed by the local dns server or the client?
My local DNS server can't do a forward as it doen't has access to the
network, but it could if I knew how to set it up so that it used the poxy
server, another issue I guess.

When you get the ppp daemon died unexpectedly error did it say why? The first
thing I can think of is that maybe you have a problem with the ppp
configuration. Say possibly an incorrect dns or maybe a mistyped password. Can
you connect to other dial in sources?

Sorry to butt in but I'm having the same common problem as this fellow
and probably many others.
This is what happens when I try to give linux a passwd.
smbpasswd
Unknown parameter encountered: "domain controller"
Ignoring unknown parameter "domain controller"
Old SMB password:
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
smbpasswd: machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the session request. Error was :
code 131.
IOW, what's the drill for creating the /ect/samba.d/smbpasswd?
Does the file need some initial entries with the domain controller and
user names. Mine is blank with the exception of this. (below)
# Samba SMB password file
I tried faking it and adding something like:
root xycnjdkl
joeblow djskfjsjds
My Samba works (/tmp), except getting into the real /root and /home
directories from the two wintel boxes (wrong password). Mounting the
NT and 98 shares is no problem FROM linux. The NT printer also works
fine on linux. However, as I said, the real linux dirs are password
protected and not accessible 'from' the Wintel boxes.
TIA.

LAST CALL FOR VOTES (of 2)
unmoderated group comp.os.linux.security
Newsgroups line:
comp.os.linux.security Security and the GNU/Linux Operating System.
Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC, 5 Apr 1999.
This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party. Questions
about the proposed group should be directed to the proponent.
Proponent: Erik de Castro Lopo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Votetaker: Jeremy Billones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
RATIONALE: comp.os.linux.security
The number of users of the Linux Operating System has grown
significantly over the last few years. A large number of these new
users are connecting their machines to the internet via modems with
little or no thought about the security of their machines. In
addition, the standard installation procedure of most Linux
distributions results in a machine with maximal capabilities but also
with a number of possible security holes. A search of a usenet
archiving site such as dejanews would quickly find a large number of
linux security discussion threads scattered across numerous existing
newsgroups.
The existing newsgroup comp.security.unix is useful but its
discussion content is aimed more at the unix administrator level.
Therefore a newsgroup specifically aimed at the home/small business
Linux user would complement rather than replace discussion on
comp.unix.security.
CHARTER: comp.os.linux.security
This newsgroup is dedicated to the discussion of issues related to
establishing and maintaining the security of machines running the
Linux Operating System on all processor architectures.
Open discussion of techniques and software for protecting machines
against remote attacks (via a network connection) as well as attacks
from untrusted local users are welcome. This discussion can include
information about which applications are vulnerable, the form of the
vulnerability and snippets of source code for demonstrating the
vulnerability.
The posting of commercial information to this group is permitted only
if the information is directly relevant to security and the Linux
Operating System.
Messages which are cross-posted to or from any advocacy newsgroup are
not welcome. As this is a discussion group, the posting binaries is
strongly discouraged. Spamming, ECP and EMP of any sort is absolutely

I vote NO on comp.os.linux.security
Voter name:
If your mail software does not indicate your real name (for example, AOL
does not), include _exactly_ the statement above on a _separate_ line
and add your name after the colon. Having your name in your signature line
is NOT enough! Do NOT join the lines together or remove the words
"Voter name"!
You may also vote ABSTAIN (which records an empty vote) or CANCEL (which
removes any earlier votes). ABSTAIN does not affect the final vote count
in any way but is listed, whereas CANCEL is not.
If these instructions are unclear, please consult the Introduction to
Usenet Voting or the Usenet Voting FAQ at http://www.iki.fi/~jpatokal/uvv/.
IMPORTANT VOTING PROCEDURE NOTES:
Standard Guidelines for voting apply. One vote per person, one account
per voter. Votes must be mailed directly from the voter to the votetaker.
Anonymous, forwarded or proxy votes are not valid. Votes mailed by
WWW/HTML/CGI forms are considered to be anonymous votes.
Vote counting is automated. Failure to follow these directions may
mean that your vote does not get counted. If you do not receive an
acknowledgment of your vote within three days contact the votetaker
about the problem. It's your responsibility to make sure your vote
is registered correctly. Duplicate votes are resolved in favor of
the most recent valid vote. Addresses and votes of all voters will
be published in the final voting results post.
The purpose of a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest of
persons who would read a proposed newsgroup. Soliciting votes from
disinterested parties defeats this purpose.
** Please do not redistribute this CFV. **
If you must, direct people to the official CFV as posted
to news.announce.newgroups. Distributing pre-marked or otherwise
edited copies of this CFV is generally considered to be vote fraud.
When in doubt, ask the votetaker.
