Masquerading in my understanding is for NAT. Isn't It ?
After creating a linux box in this way ... what we have ?:
1) an application firewall (if we use proxy).
2) A packet filter with some prevention from security bugs.

The first ISP I worked for used names of characters from Cheers: cliff,
norm, sam, vera, diane, etc.
On my first network I just used various euphimisms for computer failures,
i.e. elbombo, glitch, spaz, blammo (actually blammo was named after my
sneakers but it seemed to fit)

Subject: Can I host different class C on my Linux box, reverse dns issues?
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 17:20:24 GMT
Hello All,
I have been given some ips in a different class c than I currently have.
When I give them out to domains I will
be anchoring them all on the same RH box. Does this mean I have to use a
cname trick for reverse resolving? I also run a firewall on a different RH
box, I have placed the new ips in the firewall.init and arp.init but nobody
on the outside can see them. Can this have anything to do with the class c
being different?

Hello.
- I have 2 computer with RedHat 5.2. Network between the 2 pc's is fine.
- 1 of them have a ppp connection in order to access Internet. Works
well.
- I cannot put the other PC accessing the internet. Why ? I've exported
my default route and IP forwarding is enable in the server side.
Thank's for any answer.

Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 20:41:59 GMT
Hello All!
I am currently playing and experimenting with Linux and the Red Hat 5.1
distribution kernel version 2.0.35.
The problem that I am having is that when I setup the machine, I installed it
with DHCP addressing. This worked great.
Now I would like to switch the machine over to static IP. I use netconf to do
this and I believe that I entered everything in correctly.
After rebooting the linux box, I try running a ping command and I get no
response or error messages. I cancel the command and see that 100% packet
loss.
I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for how I can get this to
work. I don't particularily want to reinstall Linux again.
Any information or assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
Alex

Subject: Server Name Question
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 15:42:22 -0500
Hi-
I'm new to both linux and smb so I apologize if this
is a stupid question. I have two NICS in my linux box;
one connects to RoadRunner (and uses DHCP). The other
is connects to my LAN (I'm using IP-Masquerade). I've
got samba set up and running; but the server name I see
in my Windows98 explorer says something like D185f....
I'd like to see the actual server name (Iago), and not
something which I guess is being assigned by Road Runner.
My [global] section in /etc/smb.conf looks like this:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
domain logons = yes
encrypt passwords = yes
printing = bsd
load printers = yes
guest account = guest
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
share modes = yes
server string = Samba Server
dns proxy = no
interfaces = 192.168.0.1/24
remote announce = 192.168.0.255
null passwords = yes
So, is this a samba problem or a general network config-
uration problem?
Thanks much,
Tom Barry

laugh isn't it. joke more like it. Linux has been tested with up to
300 network conections in 1 second reliably. I couln't tell you how
many network connections a windows client makes during login.
my segestion. Sit at the console at 8:28 and run top watch all the
activity as the people log in. I would be watching for maybe a cron
job starting up. or see if any other process is sucking up cpu time
next thing to look at. edit /etc/inetd.conf
find the entry that contains your pop3 and imap services. increase
the max value to accomidate all users simultainiously. how?
pop3 stream tcp nowait.125 root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.pop3d
imap2 stream tcp nowait.125 root /usr/sbin/tcpd imapd
that is nowait point 125 all together no spaces. the default is 40.

MS client stuff (Samba) can only work in the same subnet, since it is using
subnet broadcasts to resolve names. However, you can connect machines
in the same subnet with PPP. Here is my setup:
office home
internet <~> firewall <-> GoldenGate <~> BayBridge <-> magnellan <-> voyager
Linux Linux Linux
Win95 Win95
<~> is PPP and <-> is ethernet.
>From magnellan or voyager, i can map drives on all the Linux boxes. I have not
been able to do the same with Win98 or NT with service packs. I guess Microsoft
found this Linux bug and fixed it with newer releases. By the way, you need to
set up the proper routing tables in the Linux boxes. For example, you have
to tell the firewall that magnellan is behind the BayBridge and thus behind the
GoldenGate. My kids can finally get on the internet while i am working at home.
In fact, the internet access latence is almost the same from home or the office.

sounds to me like you need ip aliasing.
the is a compile time option in the kernel make config
once that is compiled in try this
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.x
ifconfig eth0:0 <one-of-the-valid-ip-addrs> #lowest one recommended
route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add -net <ip-address-of-range> netmask 255.255.255.248
route add default <ip-address-of-128k-frame-relay>
ipfwadm -F -a deny #<-should always be first fw command!!! but will
#work without
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 0.0.0.0/0
ipfwadm -F -p masquerade
ip-address-of-range may be on of xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy where yyy is one of
0, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104, 112, 120, 128,
136, 144, 152, 160, 168, 176, 184, 192, 200, 208, 216, 224, 232, 240,
or 248 depending on the subnet assigned to you.
this can be deturmined by you lowest valid ip address. for example,
if your lowest ip is xxx.xxx.xxx.153 then ip-address-of-range is
xxx.xxx.xxx.152
there should be no need to use the arp command. I have a similar
setup using a 56k modem with 64 ip address

Of course they do (and should) and it shouldn't be abused, either.

Try "lsof." It lists all the open files of all processes on the system.

i assume your're talking about connecting to an NT server and domain.
you will need to use samba, which is included in a cd distribution. you
can also download and read more about samba at www.samba.org.

Subject: FTP still doesn't work on ports other than 21
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 21:31:44 GMT
I can't seem to to get FTP to work thru my Masq server. I've scanned the
newsproups extensivly. the only info i can get is to use the ip_masq_ftp
module.. OF course I am using it.. I seems to load fine. no misc module
errors.
I cann't connect with the win98 box to any FTP servers using any ports
other than 21. Is there something dumb that i am missing.?? I know several
other people with this problem with similar setups, but a couple of
differnent kernels.
Using the linux box work fine on any port.
I have set up port forwarding for various things, a FTP server running on
port 221 on my win98 box, port 6000 for Xwindow servers and etc.
I'm running kernel 2.2.2 on a RH 5.2 system. SO using ipchains, all the
basic masqureding rules are there. Everythign else seems to work fine.
I would appreciate any help. I'm tired of having to do transfers from the
box to the win98 machine.

A hub is a very generic device -- linux isn't going to care.
NIC's are a different beast however. Look at the linux hardware
list for the nics - I personally like 3com cards
good luck,
