I am trying to install the newest and the best linux on
100+ workstation. What would be the best one to choose
in terms of standard, support, and setup?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

SUSE is right. And both settings are incorrect. You can't have
a routing table like that without IP forwarding and masquerading
enabled. No packet will be routed without masquerade enabled from any
private IP range into the real world IP addresses.
Use the 192.168.2.1 IP (the Linux box' NIC) as default gateway
for the 192.168.2.* network. Recompile the kernel with IP forwarding
and masquerading enabled, and use YAST to setup the needed configuration
in /etc/rc.config .

Subject: Traffic shaping
Date: 12 Mar 1999 11:31:33 -0000
In the Documentation/networking/shaper.txt file that comes with the
kernel Alan Cox mentions "Mike McLagan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'s patch to
allow routes to be specified by source/destination pairs". Does
anyone know where I can get this?
He also says "I'd like to implement Van Jacobson and Sally Floyd's CBQ
architecture into Linux one day", is this happening?
Also is there any other shaping software I can get that's not already
in the kernel?
Thanks,
Mark.

Subject: PPP problem, please read
Date: Sat, 13 Mar 1999 14:17:31 +0100
I have a working PPP dialup script for my ISP. I could connect when I used
Red Hat 5.2 with kernel 2.0.36 (and strangely with 2.2.0 aswell)
But then I decided to use Slackware (3.6).
In order to get my ethernet card up and running I need 2.2.0 or later. I
instelled that and wrote the PPP script.
But it will not work. I installed PPP 2.3.5 (just by unpacking it in / and
follow the installation instructions) But that didn't make any differance.
(and according to the /usr/adm/messages I'm using PPP 2.3.5 so I guess the
installation went fine)
I checked the /usr/adm/messages and found out the following:
Everything works fine (by the looks of it) up to the point when I get
connected to my ISP. Then it says:
"hostname modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-21"
I get an IP number but when I run ifconfig there is no ppp0
Please help me..
Thanx!

I'm beginning to wonder if my life would improve by throwing my Linux box

SAMBA can be a win95 PC's PDC, but not as a NT4.0 Worskstation's PDC
yet.
sorry.
There are some alpha versions of samba available which have been
rumoured to do the thing with NT4 as clients, but I'm sure M$
has put a NDA on code within samba which can handle NT clients.
What is possible is that Samba can fully act as a Member Server in a
existing NT Domain (with NT PDC's and BDC's)

Hi,
Has anyone connect a linux box to a workstation using an ISDN link ? I
want to get two machines talking to each other using PPP on an ISDN link.
Ethernet would be the best option I know, but I can't use it. I've had a
look at the HOWTO's and can't find anything that is of much use.
My main question is how do I setup the link ? How do I get one machine
to "dial" the other ? They will be connect directly to each other in a LAN
config.
Any pointers/info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Simon.
P.S If possible could you send me a copy of your post directly.

Subject: Buy Internet

The Subject: line derives from one of Asimov's stories, though I don't read
much English SF these years. Anyway, I think this is the correct venue for
this post--I hope what I'm describing is of interest to the kind of people
who use Linux, and I even hope that someone here will be able to offer
guidance as to how I could help make it happen. I want to believe it's
already a work in progress, but so far I haven't been able to dig anything
up...
As it applies to Linux, there are two parts to the system. The hardware
part is a multi-frequency micro-cellular modem, and the software part is
support for setting up lots of virtual channels and relaying packets. And
the goal is nothing less than taking over the Internet--rather than being
owned by powerful companies who want to control the information, WE would
own it.
The way I imagine it, I'd own my own computer with its own transceiver.
When I wanted to access a resource somewhere else on the net, my computer
would contact neighboring computers and ask them to help set up a virtual
circuit to the resource, and once the circuit was set up, the computers on
that circuit would simply relay the data to my machine. In exchange, my
machine would offer the same routing and relay services for those same
machines. No need for global accounting (and central ownership)--each of
the local machines would know exactly what services it had provided and
received, and if the balance was too negative, it would start rejecting some
of the requests.
Here's a simple example. Imagine I want to watch a movie that is accessible
somewhere on the net. My machine would request sufficient network resources
to show the movie. If my machine was a good netizen, no problem, but if it
was a chronic debtor, many of the requests would be refused, and the result
would be poor service. And I'd have the option to freely decide what to do.
I could accept that level of service, or I could upgrade my machine to offer
more network resources in exchange, or I could simply reduce my demands on
the network.
Another important part I didn't mention so far is the communication
standards that would be required. But I know that a lot of this is already
under development for the current Internet and cellular phone systems and
other targets. But this is actually a place where the open process of
development as used in the Linux community could hasten progress. There's a
lot of other wrinkles and complexities I've considered, and possibly even
developed some partial solutions for... Way too much for a short public
post. But if you're interested in discussing these things, I look forward
to seeing your posts or email. And of course I'd be especially interested
in news of related works in progress.
