No, Linux is a standalone server, it completely doensn't support any clients
connected to the box.

Obviously clueless...

Subject: Network shuts down on a regular basis
Date: Thu, 18 Mar 1999 14:59:08 GMT

Hi there.  I just finished setting up a linux box, acting as a gateway for a
small LAN (plus doing several other small services) and everything went
smoothly and without pain. Except for a very peculiar problem: Every 2 hours
or so, all network connections are broken, both intra- and internet, no
pings, no routes, no nothing. Most of the time the network kicks in after ca.
5-8 minutes. Twice I've had to restart inetd, and once routed.  I don't know
if there's a connection here, but when I look at /var/log/messages, I see a
cluster of error messages appearing every 8-10 minutes: Mar 18 14:35:40
picard inetd[7230]: linuxconf/tcp: bind: Address already in use Mar 18
14:35:40 picard inetd[7230]: auth/tcp: bind: Address already in use Mar 18
14:35:40 picard inetd[7230]: time/tcp: bind: Address already in use
...followed by identical messages for each tcp service; finger,imap, pop,
shell, telnet, etc.

I'm running RedHat 5.2 (2.0.36) on a compaq prosignia 200 (nics eth0:TLan,
eth1: 3c905b)

I'm completely stuck and utterly baffled.

Any suggestions, tips, hints, ideas, places_to_look_for_error_messages,
solutions, pizzaz, or well, just anything to get me started would be SO
greatly appreciated.

My opinions are my own, and have nothing to do with my employer.

He would have given him two hands.

Use the Intel SoftSet2 (DOS) utility to set the IO address and irq, disable
Plug and Play (important!)
Put the appropriate settings in conf.modules
alias eth0 eepro
options eepro io=0x000 irq=x   (Use your settings here)

network settings are in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (Redhat)
load eepro driver:
# insmod eepro
bring ethernet up:
# ifup eth0

Read the NET-3-HOWTO and the modules HOWTO.

Subject: Help - "private" ip address conflict using ip masq.
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 14:46:58 -0700

I have ip masq. set up and working on Red Hat 5.2, with a TCI @Home cable
connection, with dhcp configured and working. I can get to the outside just
fine
from all the machines on my network (192.168.1.x).

The problem -
I was surfing the web when my NT machine kicked off the network with a
message
that it had detected a conflicting IP address on the network. My Linux box
is on
192.168.1.1 on one NIC for internal, and a dhcp assigned address on a 2nd
NIC for
my cable access, with my NT system at 192.168.1.2. The 192.168.1.x addresses
should not be getting out past my Linux box. When I rebooted, I tried to
telnet to my
Linux box, and instead connected to someone else's FreeBSD system.� Finally
it all
came back after powering off NT and restarted. I imagine there is a
frustrated FreeBSD
user out there as well! So, why are the "private" addresses getting to the
outside world,
where they can conflict?

I am using the following firewall rules:
ipfwadm -F -p deny
 ipfwadm -F -a accept -m -S 192.168.0.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0


Thanks.

Try setting the ethernet cards up explicitly for 100Mbps/Full Duplex.  If
that doesn't work try 100/half duplex, or 10/half duplex.  The
autonegotiation may be hanging your network.

Probably dns issues. 
Make a /etc/service.switch:
---
hosts   files
aliases files        
---

To prevent sendmail from doing dns queries. Also, make sure that
/etc/host.conf reads "order hosts,bind"

If this doesn't work, try debugging the setup:

kill sendmail, and start it with "sendmail -dD -os -d"
On the other machine, "telnet <remote> smtp"
sendmail should present itself with a message.
"helo <myhost>"
"mail from: <name>@<myhost>"
"rcpt to: <name>@otherhost>"
"data"

wonder if you can shed light on this thing that has baffled me for a week or

on setting up a firewall
I have a linux boc with 2 nics
both are 3c905s

one has address 59.101.27.12
the other 32.130.204.234

now I have plugged them into a hub separating 2 networks

on the 32.*.* side i can ping everything on the 59.*.* side
but on the 59.*.* side all I can ping is 32.130.204.234

I can ping both sides of the network on the firewall box itself

ip forwarding is enabled

what am I doing wrong?

maybe these files have names longer than 32 characters? i sometimes 
see strange effects files with very long names are put volumes that
are evported via appleShare. the seem to only have the first 32 chars when
you see them from the apple client.
i can e.g. see them in the finder and sometimes even move them to other

Well, you might consider than in the United States, yes,
our own little country, people have been denied jobs,
persecuted, and in other ways harassed FOR PERFECTLY
LEGAL BEHAVIOR.

Even in your stating that you do nothing in private
that you would mind having exposed "except for things
like sex", you are stating that to some degree 
privacy is important to you.

Because, as I'm sure you're aware, in some states
certain types of sex - things less kinky than occured
recently in the White House - are against the law,
even when conducted by a man and woman joined in
holy matrimony sactioned by the state.

So, buddy, you never know, if privacy rights disappear,
it might be YOUR back up against the wall.

Those who wrote our Constitution understood the world
better than you do, I'm afraid...

Yup, yup, yup, eat up that yummy M$ food. Bill tells you it's good for you
and so you eat it all up and lick the plate, and then ask for more. But in
'the real world', where it's not all about DeGates' vision of 'how things
really are', there are plenty of alternative and even highly superior
solutions that work much better than ASP without violating security and
privacy. Just because your 'real world' doesn't see that doesn't make your
'real world' the 'only real world'. And 'free' does not necessarily mean
inferior. Mebbe you need to skeddadle on back to the Micro$haft newsgroups,
sonny boy, and don't slurp your Starbucks so loudly. People are listening.

Hello everyone!

I've got a big problem, recently I have upgraded my perfectly working system
to the new kernel v2.2.3.  I have uncompressed the files in /usr/src
directory and recompiled the kernel to include the support for SMP.
Everything works like a charm, EXCEPT PPP!!!!!.
>From now on, every time I try to initiate ppp connection, I would get an
error pppd died unexpectedly. I am using Caldera OL v1.3

Any comments would be greately appreciated.

Have you...
        * enabled IP Forwarding on your Linux system ?
        * either obtained a public IP address for your Win98 system
          or installed, configured, and enabled IP Masquerading on
          your Linux system?
        * set your Win98 default route to the Linux system?

Subject: Secure NFS ?

Hi,

I'm looking for a secure replacement for NFS. It must work on i386 and alpha
Linux, and i need to share it in the local network with samba.

Any ideas?
