I'm not aware of ANY computer business where you can get ANY support of any
kind for the money Red Hat charges for their Official CDs. Your complaint
is therefore specious at best.
If you need help, I would *strongly* suggest subscribing to one or more
of the *many* Linux lists.

Subject: Min. Hardware Requirements - Small Network
Date: Wed, 31 Mar 1999 21:58:46 GMT
As I am interested in trying out Linux, I am wondering what the min.
hardware (486DX-100?) requirements are for playing with Linux and
setting up a small server system. I plan on networking 2 - 3
computers and maybe run a Quake II server on the Linux box. I don't
want to install it on my Pentium II box, as I want to be able to
experiment, but I can get a 486-100 free from a friend.
Will Linux run comfortably as a server on a 486??
thanks

Subject: 3c509B + 2.0.36 + 486/66 = badness
Date: 1 Apr 1999 02:12:23 GMT
I have an old 486DX2/66 with ISA/VLB buses and a 3c509B network card.
This all worked fine with RH 5.1, 2.0.35 kernel. I installed RH5.2
from scratch, 2.0.36, and now the network card is misbehaving. The
hardware was not touched in any way. There are no IRQ conflicts, PnP
problems etc.
This is not the usual suite of problems. The driver works, the card
talks to other machines on the LAN, but when I try to transfer files I
get a very large Rx error rate on the 3c509B. The source of the
transfer is a P150 with a PCI card. Typically 1 out of 6 to 1 out of 10
packets received from the P150 machine result in a frame or overrun
error. The result is a net throughput of only a few KB/s.
The driver in 2.0.36 is v1.16. I tried the previous version, v1.12,
which is what was used in 2.0.35 and the problem was the same. I have
tried the v1.16 driver with max_interrupt_work increased to 20 but this
doesn't change anything.
My next step will be to compile a 2.0.35 kernel for the machine and see
if this helps.
Does anyone have any ideas on what else to look for?

Subject: Mounting a vfat directory (not partition)
Date: Wed, 31 Mar 1999 18:39:35 -0500
At work we have about 30 machines running Windows and a linux file server. Our
lan goes thru a "cutin" server which causes problems: some of the Windows boxes
can use network neighborhood fine and others can not. It seems that Windows 95 a
and b are having all the problems. Even stranger, although they can not see
anything, everyone else can see them. Microsoft is clueless.
Anyway, I want to set up an ftp server in linux so that they can at least get
and put files on the server. The disk with all the files is formated with vfat
(yah, I know all my problems would be solved by making it ext2, but that is not
going to happen - trust me.) Some of the files on the server are rather
sensitive, so I do not want people being able to go wherever they want. There
are three partitions on the disk and about four major directories in each
partition. I could repartition the disk and give each major directory its own
partition, but that would be very inefficient. The obvious answer would seem to
be: use chroot on their home directories. But it does not work with mounted
vfat partitions. What I would like do is: keep the disk as is and mount
individual directories with specific rw privledges so that ftp is only available
to them in certain directories. Is this possible?

Subject: Need HELP on route/masq!
Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 12:04:44 -0800
This is the first time I am attempting this, and even though I tried to
my homework before asking for help, routing and masquerating is not so
trivial, so I apologize for any stupid questions.
The situation is the following: 2 linux boxes running RedHat 5.2. Box-1
is the server and has 2 NICS, one connected to a DSL service provider
with an ethernet card (eth0). The other NIC (eth1) is connect to the
LAN, which is simply a connection through a hub to the other linux box,
which I will call here Box-2. Box-2 has one NIC (eth0).
What I tried to do is the following: set a local net 192.168.0.0, with
netmask 255.255.255.0 and asign Box-1 (server) host-adress 192.168.0.13
on its 2nd NIC, and Box-2 (client) the host-address 192.168.0.27.
Box-2 has as its default gateway the address 192.160.0.13. Box-1 has as
its default gateway the gateway address of the DSL provider.
>From the Box-2 (client) I can ping both NICs of the Box-1. I can also
ftp and telnet to Box-1 from Box-2, but the ftp downlaod rate is VERY
slow (about 5 K/sec), even though the LAN is a 100T.
>From Box-1 (server) I can ping Box-2 (client) and also get into
http://192.168.0.27, but telnet and ftp freeze right after the intial
prompt to login (is this a sign of a routing/dns timout?).
Finally, from the client Box-2 I do not see the outside world!
Here is the script I use to initialize (manually at this point)
networking on the server.
#!/bin/csh -f
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 217.103.88.58 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
/sbin/route add -net 217.103.88.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.13 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

Unless the ISP at location 2 is willing to set up some bizarre route

would be slower than NAT. It would be real addresses, however.

If your modem doesn't have a jumpers (or you have NOT jumpered the modem for

Is your ethernet card possibly sharing an IRQ or memory address range with
something else, especially perhaps a SCSI interface card?
Also, make sure your IP addresses within your home LAN are designated
internal network addresses (ie, 192.168.1.x), and that only Box-1 has two
network interfaces set up.
So, for example:
Box-1:
eth0: 192.168.1.1
eth1: your.dsl.ip.address
Box-2:
eth0: 192.168.1.2
I don't know if this is still the case, but having two ethernet cards in
your machine that use the same driver used to cause problems. It works with
some cards, but not others. I don't know what DSL uses, but I'm assuming it
would be a standard 10base-T card.
Good luck,

I've been recently thrown into the task of running an internet server
utilizing only 2 phone lines, 2 static IPs, 2 486/100s w/ 4 GB HDs in each,
1 NIC card in each, and 2 56k modems. I am very new at Linux in general and
RedHat 5.2 specifically.
I have a working RedHat server, with a working dialup connection using
WVDial. However, it locks the terminal it is running on and won't let go
unless you hit CTRL + C, which disconnects the modem. Is there a way to make
this let go of the terminal, or run as a hidden process?
Second, I have a working web, proxy, and e-mail server. We are going to
be adding virtual web servers. Is it worth adding virtual e-mail servers
too, or is it too much trouble? I read the HOWTO, but it was a little over

Try using 'mfw' instead, and setting up a firewall entry using -m, to
mark all packets matching the rule. Then set up an mfw with the same
-m, to do whatever you want.
I'm not sure when these features came into the kernel, but I know I've
got them. Of course, I'm using 2.2.4. :)
Hope this helps. :)

I have a boss who is convinced that his internet access at work is too
slow. He claims that our dual T1's are slower than his 56K dial up from
home. I've checked out the network and watched his machine and, frankly, I
think he's full of crap. However, I need some to way to prove that the
"delays" he is experiencing are not due to any problem in the LAN or our
part of the WAN.
Is there any tool or combination of network tools that I can use to
estimate what part of the transfer time is on the LAN, what part is on the
WAN and what is on the server end? I already have MRTG monitoring the
interfaces in question and I've hung a sniffer on his segment more times
than I can count. I don't think there is a problem but just doing a
traceroute and explaining to him about real-world servers isn't going to
cut it: I need to come up with a way to demonstrate the truth (whichever
way it is) with hard numbers.

We had similar problems with Linux clients running KDE that
had users' home directories on a Solaris box crashing in the KDE
screensaver setup dialog (I think), as well as other random problems.
The server was also running 2.5.1 at that time. I seem to remember
that applying the recommended patch set on the 2.5.1 box did help and
also upgrading the kernel on the clients (fortunately we didn't have
many of those). I'm pretty sure we fixed that without having to
upgrade to 2.6 (2.7 wasn't out then).
