Subject: Can I shutdown linux remotely?
Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1999 04:40:18 GMT
I have 2 machines; a RH5.1 Linux and a win95. Most of the time I work on the
Linux from the win95 through OmniX (an application that emulate the X-server
from Linux). My question is, can I shutdown the Linux from the Win95 side. I
really dont want to login again on the linux and issue a shutdown command. If
I recalled it right, I couldnt do that. linux just doesnt shutdown.
Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
p/s: please cc a reply to my mail box.T Q.

have your dns server ip the same as it is for linux.
default gateway the IP of the interface on the "inside" 192.x.x.x Linux
box and make sure your subnetmask is correct.

I hope it's not too late to change your hardware, because your box is a
complete waste of money. SMP gives you *nothing* with regards to web
serving, and it makes your OS flaky as all hell. The RAM is nice, but the
processor speed is overkill and having 4 of them is just plain wasteful. The
network card would saturate completely before you even came remotely close to
using up the resources of even a single P2 200Mhz.
> For the web server we used the latest 2.0.3 version of Apache.
Stick with what works. I'd use 1.3.4, as it's generally considered more
'stable'. You don't *always* want to be "bleeding edge".

Another suggestion: mod_php3. I guarantee that if you ever see large
amounts of traffic, CGI will rapidly become your worst nightmare. There are
a variety of _internal_ Apache modules that give you everthing CGI can do,
but faster better and more efficiently. Keep in mind that CGI requires you
to fork() another process to handle each web request, which can very quickly
run you up against the process limit on a heavily loaded machine. PHP3 is a
PERL-like, C-like programming language that's relatively lightweight. You
can download the sources from http://www.php.net/, where they also provide
instructions on how to build it into Apache.

Try various flags to netstat, see what they say. If you could post the
details of several different commands that would be helpful in diagnosing the
problem.

What type of network load do you expect to see on your box in the long run?
What type of applications does it need to run (other than Apache and its
modules)? I know it's blasphemy in this group, but if you're just doing "raw"
webserving (no database interaction) you'd see *much* better performance with
some variant of BSD (for example, FreeBSD from http://www.freebsd.org). If
you're more into running a K-rAd k00l website with lots of doo-dads and gizmos
(and don't care about performance under heavy load), then Linux is your best
bet.

I have the VNC server on Linux. The VNC viewer on NT.
I can connect with the
viewer, but all that I see is a grey screen with the X
cursor (similar to
that seen on Linux after 'startx' but before your
chosen window manager kicks
in). Although I can move the
cursor, there is nothing there to select!!
Anyone know what I'm not doing that I should be?

Subject: Router PC or 10/100 AutoSense Hub ?
Date: 11 Mar 1999 20:50:53 GMT
Hello all,
I'm looking for advice on which is the better networking set up.
Currently I have a bunch of older machines (PCs, Multia, PPC, etc...)
with 10Base-T cards and a bunch of newer PCs with 10/100Base-T cards,
all hooked up to a 10Meg Hub. I'm in the market for a 100Meg Hub, and
was wondering if I should get a 10/100Meg autosense hub and plug all the
machines into it, or get a 100Meg only hub (cheaper) and have a dedicated
pc with 2 ethernet cards routing packets between the 10 Meg Lan and the
100 Meg Lan.
What are the advantages of each setup?
When using an autosense hub, when a 10Meg card is transmitting
does the entire network essentially becomes a 10 Meg lan, or does the
hub buffers the data and sends the data out at the appropriate speed
on each port ? If someone can point me to a faq, I can go rtfm. :-)
Thanks,
Chi K. Chan

FWIW, there can be multiple names for a single address.

I am new to Masquerading too, but have recently managed to get something
to work with kernel 2.2.0 (this release uses ipchains rather than
ipfwadm to manage ip Masquerading). Try this if you are running 2.2.0 or
later:
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0
/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
where 192.168.1.0 corresponds to the local, private network you have set
up.

I just put in a 3COM 3C509B-TPO network card and cannot seem to get it
working correctly. I am using RedHat 5.2 and I went to the control panel
and selected 3C509 as the kernel module, but it doesn't seem to work when I
try to ping the local address. I can ping the loopback address, but I
cannot ping the address of the machine.
Please help, I am new to Linux and trying to get it working in my NT

This has to be the bigest problem with the computer industry. The primary
concern about any programmer should be how *maintable* the code they
write is. I see all the time programmers with years of experience that
produce such dire code that I would never hire them in a month of Sundays.
Yet they find no problem getting jobs as they have plenty of *experience*.

I would just crossover even though the price of hubs is so cheap. That
is because at present there is no need for a hub and it will just be
another box lying around. Of course in the future a hub is a piece of
pie to install into the network.

Are you sure your network is part of the internet or behind a firewall
with proxy server (more likely) which means there is nothing wrong
with your setup. You just need to specify the proxy settings in
netscape to get out to the internet. there is a way to do if for lynx
using environment veribles but forgot waht they were and how to set
them.

I have a problem that befuddles me to no end! I've two exact machines. They
are PII/350's Both have a 3c905b, both are in the same PCI bus mastered
slot in the PC. Both have RH 5.2 installed (server option). One machine when
booted runs at 100Mbps/Full Duplex (GREAT!!!) The other when booted starts
at 100/FD, but as soon as the 3c90x mod loads it goes into 10Mbps.
I've booted into DOS and used the 3Com util to manually set it to 100/FD- On
reboot the card goes into 100Mbps but won't enable Full Duplex.
Does anyone have an idea as to what avenue I can persue?

Subject: Linux Windows connectivity
Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 07:11:38 +1000
Hi everybody,
I have a dual boot Linux(redhat)/Win95 machine connected to another
win95 machine using samba.
I can see my win95 machine from my Linux machine (using smbclient
\\\\<name of machine>\\<shared drive>), and I can telnet from the win95
machine as the two users I have created in Linux (ben and candice) and
once there can login as SU. Problems arise however, when I try to map
drives from the win95 machine.
I can see my Linux machine from my win95 machine, but can only map a
drive using Ben's password. I cannot map Candice's drive using her
password, and I cannot map *anything* using the root password.
It seems that only Ben's password works. The passwd file is garbled so
that can't be edited or checked (though you'd think if I could telnet
using the correct passwords, then they must be OK).
I have set up shares in the smb.conf file for [root] and [candice] (and
some others) but cannot map them if the user Ben doesn't have access to
that share.
I have temporarily given Ben full read/write ability with a line
(something like) "admin user = Ben" in a [sysadmin] share.
At the bottom of this page I have included a copy of my smb.conf
Q/ Can anyone help me out with this one.
Also.... my vision for the future for my home network is to have two
win95 machines (not a big aspiration heh) networked with a dedicated
Linux file server (I need the win95 machines for the programs I use).
The Linux file server would also be the machine that dials into my ISP.
The two win95 machines can then access the internet using the Linux box
as a firewall/proxy server.
Q/ Can anyone please let me know which help documentation covers this
very process.
Cheers
Ben

# The following two entries demonstrate how to share a directory so that
two
# users can place files there that will be owned by the specific users.
In this
# setup, the directory should be writable by both users and should have
the
# sticky bit set on it to prevent abuse. Obviously this could be
extended to
# as many users as required.
