I've been trying for some months now to use rsh/rlogin into a RH 5.1 box
without password authentication without success. I've looked through
newsgroups, web pages, etc but no one seems to a solution to the problem.
Even though both /.rhosts and /etc/hosts.equiv have the entry "+", I can't
get into the system without it asking for a password. I need to be able to
execute commands on the system remotely, and currently I cannot.
Has this got something to do with PAM ?
What do I need to do ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

If I'm a cop and I'm under all of those pressures and trying to get to
some pervert, I don't give a crap what you want; I'm just trying to
get the job done. Maybe I look in the wrong place once in a while. If
I knew in advance where to look, we wouldn't be having these problems.
And if I'm not a cop (and I'm not) I WANT him/her to get the job done.
Don't you? I don't "want" the cops to be up against any more than they
already are.
Sorry, but I'm right.

this doesn't mean a thing. The USR winmodem will work in a dos window
within windows. you see, there is a dos support windows driver and
the modem is reachable in dos so long as dos in running in windows.
even if it's not a winmodem, Linux lacks support for generic pci

Hi everyone,
our Linux-Dialup-Gateway (isdn) always drops the first packet which is
supposed to be routed. This causes e.g. mail checkers to hang because
there is no response from the remote system. Any idea or workaround?
Everything else works fine, just that one little packet ....

Hi,
As far as I can tell, I've got netatalk setup ok on my linux box (running RH
5.1, Manhattan), the services are running and no errors are reported. I also
have two network cards running - atalkd is setup to run on the first one
(eth0) and the second one is the gateway to the rest of my network.
My problem is that when I go to my mac and change my appletalk to use the
ethernet it comes back with an error saying that it can't connect to the
network... any ideas? Both NICs are both setup ok, so I know that's not the
problem...
Thanks,
Sam

Subject: Email setup
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 14:47:45 -0000
Hello, people,
I recently posted asking how to connect to my ISP, and after sifting
thru the docs I was pointed to, and working out why chat wasn't doing its
job (the chat script given for my ISP had comments in it, and I realised
chat was waiting for the # symbol), I managed to connect. Hurrah! I managed
to use ping, ftp, http, BUT
I went to figure out sendmail. Eeek! I didn't have a clue, got the
Mail-Howto, and some docs from sendmail org. I think I *may* understand it,
but I'm worried about whether I've got it right. SO:
In the same way that there are test newsgroups so you can check your
news setup is OK, is there some sort of an E_mail echo server? What I mean
is, you try to send email to it, it reads it, quotes the whole thing
(including from field, etc) and emails it back to you right then. In this
way I would be able to test both sides of my email setup.
If there isn't one, perhaps there should be? Mailing lists would not be
appropriate, though this would be a similar sort of thing.
I'm sure that if none currently exist, it wouldn't be too difficult for
someone with an already setup Linux box (with a permanent connection-if the
reply was more than say 5 minutes later, you wouldn't know if it had worked
and it would slow down correcting any problems).
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 14:52:28 GMT
All:
I need some help to make my modem work.
I have an ISA modem(Not Winmodem) installed in my old 386PC,
and system has 8 mb memory on it. This machine was installed Win95 and
modem just worked fine(Not PnP mode). When I installed Redhat 5.2 on
this machine, everything seems Ok except modem card. I can dial in to my
ISP PPP server and get the connection. Then enter username and
password. I got connection and hundreds garbage characters. However,
just
after a few seconds, I was disconnected and minicom screen said "No
CARRIER". Using setserial -a /dev/ttyS3 (I am using port 4, IRQ 3), I
got
UART 16550A. Everything seems correct, but why I lost connection?
Is it possible due to my system memory be too small to cause the
problem?
This error repeated again and again and really bother me.
Somebody has idea and suggestion what I need to try to solve the
problem? Any help is very appreciated.
Please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so I won't miss you.

Subject: Configuring a 3c509B NIC for RH 5.1
Date: 17 Mar 1999 19:31:45 GMT
Hello,
I'm a relatively new user to Linux -- I have been using and learning Linux
RH 5.1 for about 3 1/2 months now. I recently installed a 3com 3c509B
NIC. The installation process went smoothly, however, I had some trouble
trying to get Linux to recognize the card. The card works fine under DOS.
What follows is a brief description of the steps I have taken to try and
get my card to work.
1) Under DOS, I used the 3***cfg.exe (I'm not at my Linux box,so this is
as close as I can get to the file name, my apologies), to configure my
card with the following i/o=0x300 and IRQ=10. I also **disabled** the Plug
and Play feature. The card was successfully tested using the same utility.
2) booted into Linux and modified the conf.modules file:
=================
/etc/conf.modules
=================
alias eth0 3c509
options eth0 io=0x300 irq=10
3)Saved conf file and rebooted Linux. On reboot, the following message
appeared, insmod:/lib/modules/preferred/net/3c509.o: symbol for parameter
io not found.
4) At this point, I typed 'insmod 3c509' at the shell prompt in hopes that
this would possibly correct the problem. A couple of lines were sent back
to the display. I did not write down the exact contents of each line (I
wish I had), but I was able to write the following: 'driver: 3c509.c
version:1.12' with a date of 1997.
5) With this in mind, I launched X and opened the Network Configurator.
Within the configurator, I noticed that the state of the eth0 interface
was inactive. So, I chose the 'Activate' button and then selected save. At
that moment, I noticed that the hub's 'active' LED light went up and
remained on.
6) I successfully pinged the card's interface IP (192.168.1.2).
I have reviewed the Ethernet HOWTO guide and found that the 3c509B NIC is
supported.
Now, on to the issue at hand. After I shut down and restarted Linux, the
hub's LED light did not come back on, and I saw the same message noted in
step 3: "insmod:/lib/modules/preferred/net/3c509.o: symbol for parameter
io not found." I reviewed the Network Configurator information in X, and
the eth0 interface was again inactive. *** And on top of this, the
'atboot' column showed 'yes'...so, the driver should be installed during
the boot process (right??)***
I'd like to have the NIC recognized at boot up. Is there some kind of
workaround for this??? Am I missing something, or neglecting to set up
some unforseen parameters???
Help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Rob

In /usr/src/linux/net/core/sock.c, if the TCP send or receive buffer

First, you might check the headers on posts before you talk about

Actually, Dazza posted the six or seven OS's he runs in an earlier

tell you it's not "basement" experience from his other contributions
to the newsgroups he and I mutually participate in. Maybe you should

There's an awful lot of assumptions in this set of statements. I set
up a whole lot of different things in different environments for
purposes of familiarity. One never knows when one might need a
function that's normally handled by another box due to an emergency
outage or sudden need. That doesn't mean I can't get the right box
for the job.

And me and a whole lot of other networking folks that I know. I don't
know how large your environment is, but in every large-scale network
I've been in, worked on, or discussed with a fellow, the number of
services provided on an NT box is pretty strictly limited to one or
two services tops. Why? Stability and reliability. The largest of
these was a 22,000 user network. How big is yours?

You have no idea what Dazza's experience actually is, what he does for

Subject: Re: slow ppp connection
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 15:15:31 -0500
hmm ... i would look under /lib/modules/ . . . /net and see if there is
something that might be that net-pf thingy .... and do an 'insmod
whatever.o' b4 starting the connection . I had similar probs where it
would not automatically load the ppp compresion module .... after that my
thruput increased although I still get significantly better speeds under
NT :-( . Something on the order of 5k/s in NT and 1.5k/s in Linux ...
anyone have any suggestions ??
