Subject: IP tunneling problem w/ details
Date: Wed, 07 Apr 1999 16:35:21 GMT
I was wondering if somebody could help me with an IP tunneling problem.
I have two Linux boxes with kernel 2.2.3 and the requisit networking
options compiled into the kernel with the latest nettools. My tunnels
on either end, however, just generate errors. Do I have to specify a
forwarding route in ipchains or something to get packets to use the
tunnel?
I have FORWARD_IPV4=true in /etc/sysconfig/network which seems to be
the equivalent of sticking echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
in your startup scripts.
Anything unusual that you notice in here would be greatly appriciated. I
have been in the "banging my head against the wall" phase for about 4 weeks
now. I don't know what else to try! :-(
Thanks.

Here is my setup:
BOX A (x.x.x.50) wants BOX B (x.x.x.134) to ARP PROXY x.x.x.133 on behalf
of BOX A. Yes, the implementation is trivial, being in the same network, but
the concept is what is important.
BOX A (172.17.42.50):
starts with:
# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
172.17.42.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
172.17.42.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 172.17.42.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
Then I do:
# ifconfig tunl0 172.17.42.133 pointopoint 172.17.42.134
# ifconfig tunl0 netmask 255.255.255.0
# route add 172.17.42.134 dev eth0
# route del -net 172.17.42.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0
# route del -net 172.17.42.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0
# route del default gw 172.17.42.1
# route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 dev tunl0
and I get:
# route -n

# ifconfig -a

I then attempt to ping an independent box on the network:

I run mserver (modemserver) and hylafax at the same time.
when getting the faxqueue it locks the modem. therefore I can't use the
modem for dialout connections with mserver any more.
Does anyone know know a solution for this problem?

is how to configure separete package like Netscape and so on. Is there
any solution like there is under windows?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi
I'm trying to configure a mail server on a brand new Debian 2.1 server.
The server is part of a bigger and older installation with 2 DEC Alpha
running OSF/2. One of those server is the master server of our NIS, and
all the others fetch the accounting information from it.
So far it worked well. But I can't figure how to set up the mail server
on the new Linux box. I tried just mounting /var/spool/mail, but there
are a couple of problems, mainly regarding security and with the mail of
the root account.
I'd like to keep some users locally, so I want the server to manage
local mail, as well as NIS mail.
If anyone has any information on that point, I'll be glad to know. I
have no preference upon the mail transport agent to use (sendmail or
smail or exim... whichever...)

Nicolas Boulard

No, I don't think you can do this (except by having a lot of open
sockets).
Could you explain why you think you want to do this? Maybe we can
explain how you can avoid the need.
Thread relocated to comp.unix.questions as this has nothing to do with
Linux if you want a portable solution.

Hi!
Im going to connect our MAN Intranet-Domain (fubar.blah.de) with a 10.114.0.0
Adressing to the Internet thru a ISP with an official reged Number....
Yeah I know Masquerading and so on, but thats not the point, I have a "simple"
DNS configproblem.
We have our own root-servers which service (de) at 10.25.9.6 such like the
Internetworld.
So my question is, how do I config our local DNS at 10.114.0.40 (for example)
that a user at his machine can also request Internetnames/numbers like 141.64.3.62
So that our DNS-Server know who he must ask for that number, either our
Root-Server or our INTERNET-DNS. I think about a config like that:
IntranetROOTDNS----OUR DNS ----INTERNETDNS
|
USer
Useless 2 say that we use a Linux as DNS-Server.
And please reply by Email
Thanx in advance

Subject: Putting Linux on my existing NetWare LAN - questions
Date: Wed, 07 Apr 1999 18:12:45 GMT
Hello!
I'm going to be putting a Linux box on my corporate LAN over the next
month or so, and I had a few questions, if anyone could help me.
1. The LAN this is going on is a NetWare 4.11 network, currently
running IPX only. I'm planning on running IPX to the NW box, and IP to
Linux. Any problems with this, or anything I have to watch out for?
Neither server will have to see/use resources (other than the
infrastructure - cables, hubs, etc) on the other. Any problems with
passwords, etc.? Will Linux have any problems seeing the IPX packets,
or will it just ignore them.
2. I'm planning on running SAMBA to about 30-35 Win95/98 machines.
Basic file/print services. I'm also planning IP Masquerading, and
hooking my LAN up to the internet. LAN mail services, and perhaps some
light SQL serving. The machine I'm going to be running it on will be a
Compaq DeskPro Pentium 75 w/ 64MB RAM, and 4+ GB IDE Disk Space. It's
the best I could get right now. Workstation based backups. Anyone see
any problems with this configuration and this machine?
3. Any particular distributions good for this kind of setup? I've got
SuSE at home, and on my laptop.
As you can tell from my questions, I'm not yet experienced in Linux
networking. I have got a fair handle on basic Linux operations, and I
am pretty experienced with NetWare networking. Any ideas, suggestions,
or comments would be appreciated. Thanks for any help.

OK, I've finally got IP-Masquerading working on my Linux box (RH 5.1).
Now, what I need to do is have the Linux box initiate a dial-out when one of the other
network
machines (NT boxes) initiate an internet call.
How do I set that up?
TIA,

I found John D. Blair's "Samba -- Integrating UNIX and WIndows" to be
invaluable in sorting out issues that the HOWTO and man pages didn't
address clearly.
Highly recommended.

Make sure that in ip-up all the commands have a full path - ie
/sbin/ipchains ...
and not just
ipchains ...
Otherwise they wont work.
You can change the whole lot in vi at once -
vi /etc/ppp/ip-up
[In vi, at the top of the screen]
[Esc].,$s?ipchains?/sbin/ipchains?
[Esc]:wq
(Assuming ipchains is located in /sbin/ on your system.)

Hi, If you read the doc's that comes with 5.2, you will find that you can
now use your browser to connect to your Linux Box and shutdown using the
browser. Very neat trick.

Don't you mean NFS mail rather than NIS?? This is kind of difficult to do
when you 're using NFS and NIS (which I assume that you are ) becuase
you've got each machine setup as a NIS & NFS client. I'd configure one of
your machines as a non nis client so that it has its own local passwords
file and selectively mount some NFS mail files on your box.. You might
want to look into the automounter package for linux rather than using
static mounts.

have a look at www.qmail.org, this is a very good MTA. (better in *most*
instances than sendmail) Unless you want to use sendmail for address
re-writing.
