Hi,
I have mounted some drives from a NT box via smbmount.
Files bigger than 2 GB seem to have a problem.
Length is displayed incorrect. Get cut during copy ...
Is there any patch?
Markus.

Date: Wed, 7 Apr 1999 20:03:44 -0500
Read some of the posts lately. I have been having a problem connected to
the internet. I dual boot and the net works fine with Win98. Linux has the
card recognized, it is activated. I can ping myself. I can NOT get out to
the net. I have the 3c509 card family and can't reach the nameservers.
unreachable???
what is the deal? I am headed to check Red Hat's page for any help...just
wanted to point this out if anyone is noticing PLEASE help us out...we are
becoming a mass epidemic.
Thanks!

Subject: Network card help - Urgent
Date: Wed, 7 Apr 1999 14:52:51 -0700
Hi--
Just recently I had to rebuild my machine, I was running a 2.2.1 kernel and
got everything hoarked, so I razed the disks and reinstalled SuSE 5.2...
kernel version 2.0.33
The machine has a 3Com Fast Etherlink III card in it ( 3c509 ) and while the
machine recognizes the card just fine, routed will not start because the
"network is unreachable"... ifconfig shows the eth0 interface as up and
behaves nicely. my route.conf file looks as it should, and ifconfig shows
the right addresses. I have even recompiled the kernel to explicitly
include 3com cards of this family. I am at my wits end. What am I missing?
Yes, the card used to work just fine and everything is plugged in.
I should also mention that there was a period of time when I could ping
other machines on my network, but DNS and everything else was all wrong, and
the IP address of the local machine was all screwy...
the network start script executes fine, and when I try route add -net
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ... it says that the netmask does not match with the route,
etc. I cannot reach the gateway, as the network is unreachable, but I can't
start the the network unless routed can get to it...
What gives? Do you think it's a faulty driver? If so, then why did it work
before? Again, what have I missed?

MTA is mail transfer agent. MUA is mail user agent.
A MTA does mail deliveries and an MUA is the client piece that you use
to read or send mail. There are some configuration things to do to
both pieces. Almost any MUA will work in offline mode if the MTA is
configured correctly. I don't know which MTA you've installed (if any)
and the only one I could help you configure is Exim. To use Exim you'd
have to download the source and build it. You probably don't want to
do that. <grin>

Hi there,
I want to use cmu-snmp with Redhat 5.1. If I start the snmp daemon, it
looks all ok. No error messages at all. But if I want to look up for a

snmpget localhost public system.sysDescr

I get a error message: There is no such variable name in this MIB
But the MIB looks all ok to me.

Subject: Small network feasible?
Date: Thu, 08 Apr 1999 13:36:31 +1200
Hi everyone...I've got a box running Redhat 5.2 on a 333MHz, and my bro
has a machine about 20 metres away running windoze @ 133MHz...my
brother's machine has a network card (don't ask what type, i've never
done any networking before, but i think it's just an ethernet card?)
which he sometimes uses with his mates....
Between us, we have a 56k modem which is used for internet dialup -
there is only one dial out line as well....so only one of us can use the
internet at once...
I was just wondering if it was actually possible to set up a small
network between a linux<->windoze system which would allow us to both
access the internet at the same time from the one modem (be it connected
to the linux box OR the windoze box)....?
I would imagine this can be done, and (if this is the case) just how
difficult would it be to set up??

Howdy everyone, I have heard that the Linux users are pretty friendly,
and I am throwing myself to your mercy.
I just installed Redhad 5.2 on a 486 with about 600 meg of hard disk
space. I am a long time windows user but want to start learning more
than just using. What I want to do with this is learn as much as I can
about system administration, set up a small network between the Linux
PC and a Win95 laptop I have using Xwindows on the laptop, and then
maybe learn about using the linux box as a web server.
No, I'm not ambitious ;-)
The problems I am having are:
A)right now I am reading the installation guide, and O'reilly's
'Running Linux', but to be honest I feel like I am starting on a road
which forks out in 50 different directions here. I have some
experience as a unix user using csh and ksh, but I don't have much
else than that. When I tried to run Xconfigurator, I couldn't even
find it. (I tried the which command, but nothing happened that I could
see). I feel kind of lost. I would like to start with X windows and
move on to setting up the TCP/IP network, but I don't even know where
to start. Are there any good books out there that can at least start
me out on where to look? 'Running Linux' seems to be good for an
overview, but what about more in depth stuff. Are the 'in a nutshell'
books any good?
B) What should I install? I did a custom install to try to save some
space (only 600 meg, remember), but it was pretty much a shot in the
dark as to what I needed, and even what partitions I needed ( I pretty
much just copied what I found in the redhat installation guide pics.)
What are the basic partitions that I need for a good install? What are
the packages that I would need off the Redhat CD to get the networking
and Xwindows working? What are all the libraries and do I need them?
What about the X development package? Am I SOL in terms of the space I
have?
Thanks!
Jim

I'm NO expert, and am just learning linux, but I've learned a
lot by trial and error... it seems that by ALLOWING by default, then
adding a DENY ALL rule at the END of your firewall file, with logging
on, having that logging also print to tty9... I can see denied packets
right away and make any corrections necessary, or at least have some
way to experiment...
hope I made sense...

Hi Luca. I'm another newbie checking in for free advice. In my home
LAN I too have ipfwadm set to input and output everything by default.
I haven't studied it enough to be comfortable configuring it. In the
meantime, I have /etc/hosts.deny set to deny all except httpd (I have
apache with a clone of my personal site on it and watch the CERT
advisories, but I could close that off also if it is a major risk) and
I set /etc/hosts.allow to admit my two internal boxes for all (those
boxes have private IP addresses). I was hoping this would keep the
bad guys out until I can improve my understanding. Am I at
significant risk here? I wouldn't lose anything significant if I was
compromised, but I would hate to set myself up as a platform of abuse
for someone else. Also, I understand (or think I understand) that
outsiders can't direct packets to my private (thus non routable) IP
addresses, but can those addresses be spoofed from outside (i.e. will
Internet routers pass packets with non-routable return addresses?)
