When I try to use my diva t/a under linux all looks well; the chat script
passes off to pppd after it connects at 128k. After about 15 seconds PPPD
fails and says "no response to pap authenticate request."
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks for your help!

Dennis,
before you open your tcp connection, turn on tracing by entering >trace
at the CLI.... then open the connection and note your results. This may give
you a clue what the problem is - You should see some message from the FTP
CLIENT that indicates why it refused you....

Subject: Another Telnet Problem
Date: Mon, 15 Mar 1999 17:19:41 -0500
I posted a message earlier on how to restrict access to telnet. Thanks to
the responses I think I will be able to do it. The problem now is I can't
get the telnet server running. Originally I commented out the line that
refers to in.telnetd in the initd.conf file. I uncommented it and rebooted
and restarted initd and it is not listening for anything on port 23. I
cannot telnet to the machine from the loopback or from any other machine.
Network-wise everything is working perfect. I read the man on in.telnetd
but could not find anything to fix my problem.
How do I get the telnet server running?
I'm running Redhat 5.2
Thanks
Jim

Multiple VNC clients can attach to the same VNC server session, for
"show and tell" purposes. Basically the support person should:
1. Start an X vncserver.
2. Use the VNC client to connect to it.
3. Tell the user to use the VNC client to connect to the same
vncserver session.
4. Show and tell.
5. Shut down the X vncserver when done.
While the way that Xvnc works may be less optimal for the situation
that you are using, it is more useful in situations where someone
is using VNC to create an "X terminal" without disturbing the console
user.

Subject: Linux on Windows Network
Date: Mon, 15 Mar 1999 13:36:35 -0500
Let me first start by saying that I am a Linux novice in every sense of the
word. I have an NT workgroup (not a domain) and I want to replace one of
the machines that serves images to users who dial into the network. My
users dial into the network via Shiva Remote Access Switches. They become
part of our network and then map a drive to the image server. Now, what I
want to do, since NT can't seem to keep up, is to replace that NT machine
with Linux in hopes of improving image access. Can I set up Linux to become
part of my existing network and allow my users to connect to that drive? Or
do they have to dial directly into the Linux box? I would like, in theory,
to change as little on the users end as possible, as there are about 3000 of
them. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael Mello

Yes, it's fairly common. The usual solution is to add the ip addys and
names for the machines that you are telneting from to the /etc/hosts
file on the linux machine. EG
192.168.0.1 windozebox.my.net windozebox
192.168.0.2 linuxbox.my.net linuxbox
To provide reverse-resolution for them. 8-)

Hello, I was hoping that someone could help me

Thanks for the suggestion, but I just tried it and it does not work. When I

I don't do diald but this seems clear enough. Something appears to
be amiss in the pppd options, causing PPP link negotiation to fail.
If checking the options doesn't do the job, then you may have to turn
on the link negotiation debug messages by adding "debug" pppd option
and look in the appropriate log file, usually found in /var/log .
If there's no log file with the debug messages, you can configure
/etc/syslog.conf by adding a line such as
*.=debug /var/log/debug
and creating the file with " echo -n > /var/log/debug " and turning on
the logging with " kill -HUP `pidof syslogd` ". " man syslog.conf "
for (some) clarification.

You can try adding the pppd option "asyncmap 0". If that fails, then
you'll want^H^H^H^H need to add the pppd debug option and look for clues
in the PPP link negotiation messages (usually in a file in /var/log) to

That is not a proper solution for several reasons. First of all, runlevel
1 is normally used for system repair, and results in a single-user system
with no daemons and in some configurations no filesystem other than root.
Another factor to consider is that the runlevels are locally configured,
which means that your runlevel 1 may not be the same as someone else's
runlevel 1, and may even include TCP/IP connectivity (for an NFS-rooted
system, for example). Finally, you should realize that TCP/IP is part of
the distribution kernels. While it is possible to start the machine
without configuring the network interfaces or loading any services, the
TCP/IP stack is always present unless you compile a replacement kernel
without that option. Rather than using runlevels, you would need to use
LILO to choose between a networked and a non-networked kernel at system
boot.
Note that some programs require TCP/IP to work, even on a stand-alone
system. That is why the loopback (127.0.0.1) interface is included in the
default configuration.

Just install RH5.2, it'll install Apache by default, the only major problem is
when
you have a dynamic IP address, you'll have to change the Apache config file for
the server name (assign a name, it tries to get the name from the dns). And
once
you've got RH installed, and Apache starts successfully, then just connect to
your
ISP and away you go.

The POINT here is that it is exactly as easy to embed my unique MAC address
in an Internet transaction as it is to embed my unique Pentium-III CPU ID
in an Internet transaction. Any software which will go to the trouble to
fetch the unique CPU identifier and send it over the network to identify me
could just as easily be written TODAY to use a MAC address for exactly the
same purpose. The CPU identifier is not significantly different in concept
from the MAC address, and yet there has not been a hue and cry to boycott
NIC manufacturers.
>And what do you mean get over it??? This kind of personal information

But whatever they could do with a CPU ID, they are probably already doing
with a MAC address. It is just as good as a unique identifier. "Get over
it" is exactly the right attitude.

I recently set up a two machine network at home, a win98 machine with a

network cards to use as a gateway to a cable modem (COX @Home). I get
good performance when connecting from either the win98 machine connected
directly to the CM or Linux connected direct with the CM. Both machines
are connected together via a 10M hub and I get good transfer rates
between the two machines as well. When I try to use the Linux box as a

Date: Mon, 15 Mar 1999 19:36:37 GMT
Hi mates!
Unfortunately it looks to me that you are missing the REAL point. You can
look at my recent postings about the issue.
The problem is not the mount from remote, but simply in the local system
trying to export directories, rpc.mountd and rpc.nfsd simply refuse to start.
Even if you have abosolutely a valid file /etc/exports when starting the
processes you get the following errors in the messages file:
Mar 7 21:15:06 linux101 nfsd[2247]: exports file has anon entries, but host
Mar 7 21:15:06 linux101 nfsd[2247]: has non-private IP address 88.0.5.101!
Mar 7 21:15:06 linux101 nfsd[2247]: Oh no Mr. Bill... nfs_server() returned!
Mar 7 21:35:57 linux101 mountd[2303]: exports file has anon entries, but host
Mar 7 21:35:57 linux101 mountd[2303]: has non-private IP address 88.0.5.101!
Mar 7 21:35:57 linux101 mountd[2303]: Ack! Gack! svc_run returned!
Mar 7 21:36:09 linux101 nfsd[2305]: exports file has anon entries, but host
Mar 7 21:36:09 linux101 nfsd[2305]: has non-private IP address 88.0.5.101!
Mar 7 21:36:09 linux101 nfsd[2305]: Oh no Mr. Bill... nfs_server() returned!
In this case rpcinfo -p will not show any nfsd or mountd running.
The bizarre thing is that if you start it pointing to a non existent exports
file or a bad one - you get anormal error messsage, the following errors in
the messages file which absolutely make sense:
Mar 11 06:47:12 linux101 mountd[3640]: Could not open exports file /etc/shay:
No
such file or directory
Mar 11 06:49:32 linux101 mountd[3693]: Ack! Gack! svc_run returned!
Mar 11 06:54:09 linux101 mountd[3726]: Ack! Gack! svc_run returned!
Mar 11 06:56:19 linux101 nfsd[3734]: Oh no Mr. Bill... nfs_server() returned!
Mar 11 06:56:50 linux101 nfsd[3738]: Could not open exports file /etc/kaka: No
s
uch file or directory
Mar 11 06:57:58 linux101 nfsd[3742]: Oh no Mr. Bill... nfs_server() returned!
Mar 11 06:59:49 linux101 nfsd[3749]: Could not open exports file g: No such
file
or directory
Mar 11 07:01:33 linux101 nfsd[3758]: Could not open exports file g: No such
file
or directory
Mar 11 07:02:44 linux101 nfsd[3762]: Oh no Mr. Bill... nfs_server() returned!
Mar 11 07:03:52 linux101 nfsd[3770]: Oh no Mr. Bill... nfs_server() returned!
Mar 11 07:11:07 linux101 nfsd[3783]: Oh no Mr. Bill... nfs_server() returned!
Mar 11 07:11:31 linux101 mountd[3784]: Ack! Gack! svc_run returned!
And when you run rpcinfo -p you see that nfsd and mountd are running!!!
Very bizarre.
One other thing. I have 2 machines running RedHat 5.2 untouched - and they
run ok. The other machines were patched by the RedHat/informix patches
2.0.36-7kfd ones, and they display the problem.
I am not a novice, but still have spent quite a lot of time on this issue. I
haven't though looked into the sources.
Can anybody advise what is the meaning of this "Mr. Bill" errors? I guess this
will solve the problems for all of those now sharing them.
Cheers

That would be amazing, because 3c509B is a 10 Mbps adapter.
3C590 and 3C900 are 10 Mbps only, also. The trailing zero
is for 10 Mbps.
>How did you do that!
If you have a 3C595 or 3C905, install the latest 3c59x.c
(from NASA) and lock down the speed (disable automatic media type
selection) using one of the diagnostics.

Can anyone out there tell me how to setup a Remote Access Dial in
protical with Linux? I need to have my server so that friends from the
outside can dial into my Linux server. (I'm a newbie, but dare to try
anything...) Thanks for your time.
