Hi Brian,

The format and the content of this file is basically the same as Linux's
local
printer definition file (/etc/printcap). You can get lot's of good howtos on
this.
That has a great advantage: you can even print to non-postscript
printers (the filter on your Linux-box will do the conversion)!
At our office I print from Macs to a plain HP4 printer connected to
a Win95 workstation this way.

You are using the whole subnet internally.

I suggest you try pinging between the w98 boxes to check cable and

ping from a dos box and do it by number to prevent dns or lookup problems
you may also want to try to ping from win98-? linux

Gary,
You may want to check the access restrictions on /bin, /usr/sbin, /etc, and
/dev. I had this problem earlier today and then fixed it with chmod ###
/target.
Try this web page http://www.web-hosting.com/chmod.html and I think you may
find it very useful...even if it turns out that it isn't what your problem

Sounds like the problem is caused by not terminating the network cable on
something that's running. I guess I can always unplug it if the other PC's
not on. Thanks for telling me the cause. Now I know what I need to do about

Daniel wrote, that he gets the message "Connection closed by foreign
host". So there was a connection established, for a very short time
(INETD is listening on the port and closes the connection in case of
misconfiguration), so the route entries must be correct and ifconfig
is also ok. If the bug would be there, he couldn't ping the machine!

Uncoment the respective lines of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and restart

On RedHat 5.0 I had to create the cache directory:
mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/httpd/proxy
chown -R nobody.nobody /usr/local/etc/httpd
And configure your clients:
HTTP proxy: your.apache.server Port: 80
No Proxy for: your.apache.server

Hi,
I,ve got a Micropoint Iliission with the pcmcia-cs-3.0.8 module combined
with 2.2.3 Linux Kernel. Starting PCMCIA freezes the machine.
probe -m shows an i82365 like pcmcia chipset in my machine. Still, loading
the modules by hand shows that all other related modules don't cause a
crash, but the i82365 does
When i relay the output to logfiles it only shows the module going in for a

How to debug this?

Subject: slow ppp connection
I dual boot linux and windows (need windows for the rest of the family
=[ ) and i've noticed a significant difference in file transfer rates.
Under both OSes I connect at 40000 bps. Under windows, I average
4.0-4.1 kbps downloads while under linux I only get about 3.1-3.3 kbps.
When I run pppstats -w1, it shows around 4000-4500 bytes per second
coming in throught the ppp connection but still the file only transfers
at < 3.5 kbps! I'm not running any other programs that would be using
the ppp interface. I'm using a Redhat 5.1 based system with the 2.2.2
kernel. The pppd command line I am using is "-detach lock modem crtscts
defaultroute /dev/modem 115200 remotename ppp0 ipparam ppp0"
Here is what ifconfig looks like:
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:209.63.252.12 P-t-P:209.63.255.7
Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1524 Metric:1
RX packets:17977 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
TX packets:0 errors:328953 dropped:10057 overruns:0
TX packets looks very strange.
Also, whenever I run "ifconfig" the following two lines show up in
/var/log/messages:
Mar 14 03:26:30 surge modprobe: can't locate module net-pf-4
Mar 14 03:26:30 surge modprobe: can't locate module net-pf-5
I have tried varying the MTU from 576 up to 1524 and it had no visible
effect.
I'm using the same modem init. string that win98 uses. The modem is on
irq 9 if it matters.

Did you made you nameserver authoritive for reverse-lookups of local
addresses? Is your currently assigned IP number (especially if it is a
dynamicly assigned one) for the ppp-Interface in /etc/hosts and the
search-order setted correcly? Did you tell samba to send it's broadcasts
only to the ethernet interface. Don't you have cron-jobs running that
cause dialouts?
If you use diald you might want to set tcpdump listening on sl0 to catch
the packet causing the connection.

Yes I would agree.
I used Redhat 4.2 then Redhat 5.x for a couple of years then decided to try
SuSE, after getting a copy on a demo disk on a magazine.
I prefer SuSE as it it so easy to setup and maintain (mostly through YAST),
although the installation routine is not quite as nice as Redhat.
Performance is very good and I have setup a PPP server, E-mail, Web server,
DNS etc no problem.
I have also installed the latest 2.2 kernel and it seems to be running OK.

I don't get why you're limiting those ports that way. Either open
the things up on the destination side (for FTP, Telnet, ssh, &c) or
leave 'em closed.

You're missing the return end of the connection which will be
coming in, for the most part, on the unprivileged ports above 1023.
I open up all the ports above 1023 (and harden my inetd.conf);
otherwise the connection will never succeed. I also have a "safety-
belt" rule at the bottom to deny and log errant packets (it's great
for troubleshooting).
If anybody cares to see the ipchains ruleset I use, drop me an
e-mail; the thing is really too long to post here.

SuSE gets my vote too - it's easier to set up things like
NFS, NIS, and Samba if you need them (and with 100 machines
that seems likely).
HOWEVER - it seems to me if you're setting up 100 machines,
it would be worth spending $100 to $200 and buying a copy
of SuSE, RH, Caldera and Debian _with_ manuals, and test
each one and see which one you like best. The basic setup
on all of them is pretty much the same, and you can
play around and see which one you like. After you pick
one, you can legally use the same CD set to do all of the
installs, or buy spares from Cheapbytes for $1.99 if you
want them.

Hi...
How can i run (perl) scripts in apache from another then the default
cgi-bin directorie. I've installed smb2www, but when ik run the script
from my browser i receive: You don't have permission to access
/samba/smb2www.pl on this server.
I've included the follwing in my httpd.conf:
ScriptAlias /samba/ "/usr/local/smb2www/cgi-bin/'
But i guess it's not enough.
Can someone please give me e hint.
Greetings, Patrick Zonneveld

You have a routing problem !
first add eth0 to route, then eth1
your default route is eth0, here I'll tell you how
I think you know how to use route and ifconfig command,
if not read NET-3-HOWTO
Network 10.67.69.0----->>your default route here is
+ 10.67.69.69
|
|
10.67.69.69 = eth0
IP Router
192.168.1.1 = eth1
10.67.69.69 = default
+

+----------Network 192.168.1.0-->>your default route here is
192.168.1.1
192.168.1.1
In you Gatway computer your routing table:
[root@upnet /etc]# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.67.69.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 UH 0 0 0 eth0
