Subject: NAT Pool?
Date: Tue, 06 Apr 1999 14:17:36 +0000
Ok, we all know that ip_masq will let a set of machines appear
as one to the outside world. That's OK until one or two of
those machines wants to run, let's say, IPhone or something
similar.
At the office, we have an official range of addresses, not just
one. What I'd like to do is allow folks inside the private network
to be masqueraded from a pool of addresses instead of just one.
Most of the time they'll do traditional ip_masq but, if they have
a valid need, they could get a dedicated masq address.
Any ideas?

Paranoid? All of the ISP�s I know do it with uncrypted passwords over the
net. But then again, all these connections are usually only in-house
connections, from the local modem pool to the local server, and thus
pretty hard to snoop for anybody else.

Not that I know of. At least not ftp.http however allows a PUT operation,
which basically does the same. But with http you can use https and have a
secure connection to transfer the password and the data itself.

I'm trying to setup a hom net with a RH 5.2 server and 3 win98 PCs. The
server will be a web/mail/news proxy and file/print server. My ISDN TA
(Adtran XRT) is hooked up to the server, connecting to bellsouth.net
(single, 64K channel). I've read the HOWTOs, etc., but cannot get anything
to work, and I don't have alot of time to figure it out - working long hours
:). Does someone have this configuration, and send me the settings for DNS,
PPP scripts, Samba, etc.?
Specifically:
1. I can't get caching DNS working correctly (I'm using 192.168.1.2 for
server, 192.168.1.3-5 for win98). I think I've got win98 setup correctly.
(Please note: I'm running TCP/IP and NETBEUI on win98; I need NETBEUI to
network a scanner from one win98 machine to another).
2. How do I get the dialup screen to tunr off when telnet'ing into Linux
from win98 (some netbios problem or setting?)?
3. I can't get ppp dialup working on Linux with the Adtran TA
4. I can't get Samba configured to mount win98 disks (win98 has sharig on
for all disks).
Any help is appreciated...
BTW, anybody in Miami doing this???

Date: Tue, 06 Apr 1999 09:09:21 -0700
Hi!
i want to setup a linux pc with a siemens d1107a mainboard.
it has a onboard intel 82559 lan controller.
(the 82559 is identical to the the Intel EtherExpress
100+, which is a compatible but unsupported Ethernet adapter
in redhat 5.2)
the redhat support people told me that this means that though it
may work under Linux with a little
effort (maybe a lot of effort), they cannot support it.
my question now is if anyone has ever used a mainboard with onboard
intel 82559 ethernet controller or an ether express 100+ pci card with
linux redhat 5.2?
if yes i would be very happy if you can help me and tell me haw you got
this working.
please help
thanks so much
rene

Red Hat's latest distribution,5.2, (commercial version) has the program
ypbind in /usr/sbin. What really gets me is that why are not ypmatch
and ypcat included with this install>>weird.

To give users pop3 but not shell accounts, use 'linuxconf' if you have it
and there will be an option for creating pop accounts (mail only), which
will walk you through it. If you don't have linuxconf, then create a group
called 'popusers', then create users whose group is set to 'popusers' and
whose login shells are set to '/bin/false'.

The SMC EtherPower II card uses an epic100 chipset, as opposed to the
earlier SMC EtherPower, which used the tulip chipset. If the drivers
are not included with default RH5.2, get them from
cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov. I think they are included, but you have to say
yes to the first question in "make config"; i.e. answer yes to "Prompt
for development and/or incomplete code/drivers?". The driver works
fine, even though it's classed as still under development.

Subject: How to Determine dyn. IP Address in Boot Script
Date: Tue, 06 Apr 1999 16:36:34 GMT
I would like to determine the IP address assigned via DHCP to
my primary ethernet adapter when my machine is booting.
The background for this is that I have my Internet connection
via a cable modem, and I log into the providers network as
part of the boot process. This already works. I also want to
bring up my firewall ASAP after the network connection is
established. Unfortunately at the time this should happen I
don't have access to all the goodies in /usr/bin, so I'm
stuck with what's available in /bin and /sbin. This means
I can not use grep or awk or any of the other programs one
would use to parse the ifconfig output or the dhcp files.
Is there any /proc device that has the IP address of a given
interface in a readable format? What would I have to do
to write a program that would get the IP address from the
kernel?
Thanks,
Karl Heinz

Unfortunately, RoadRunner doesn't allow running home networks behind a masq
proxy. They like to charge extra for each computer that has access to their
cablemodem. I think if the guy had originally hid his other computers in the
other room when they came to install, and let them hook up just one machine,
then added the new machines after the install tech left, then he probably
would have been able to get away with it, but not now!

You could disable hostname lookups in sendmail, but you probably would be
better off installing or fixing your Linux box's DNS. If another machine on
your network is doing DNS for you rather than your Linux box doing its own,
add its entry to /etc/resolv.conf and make sure that the other machine stays
online always to resolve hostnames.

Thanks Ron for you answer.
Sure I have all computers configured to use the same WINS. Before I had no
firewall and everything was Ok. I fixed user validation problem adding
routing to internal network in PDCs routing table. Now computers which are
behind of firewall only can see each other but external computers. when I use
"Find Computer" feature in windows 95 I can find them. (You asked me why I
don't have PDC in the same network. I installed firewall and aditional
internal network for testing and I don't want to move PDC there). I think
current problem is with wins server but I don't know how to fix this.
Thanks,
Levan
