The direcory should have read and execute permissions and the files should
have read permissions for the user which runs httpd (usuallu chmod -R a+rx
public_html does the trick). It shouldn't require anything else.

Subject: Is this to complex for a Dialup setup?
Date: Thu, 18 Mar 1999 13:13:17 GMT
Hi,
I'm relativly new to this whole linux malarky but I managed to get my linux
box to be a dial-up machine and proxy for the wintel boxs. I'm still
struggling through the ipchains and DNS documentation but I'm getting there.
Anyway this is my problem:
I have 3 ISP's and 4 dialup numbers. 2 of these ISP's are freebie ISP's that
need to be logged into every 30 or so days to keep the account alive and when
ftping my updated web pages to their webserver. The other is a "traditional"
ISP which I pay an annual fee for and I keep for one good reason, capped calls
on saturdays. The setup I'm aiming for would need to work like this...
1. Every Saturday and 00:01 my linux box would log onto the capped call
charge number and keeps the link alive until logging off at 11:59 in the
evening. This is the time I automate all the downloads I've indentified
during the week.
2. During weekdays my machine automatically dials up 1 of the 3 ISP's (cycling
through each one each turn) for as long as a POP server takes to collect mail
from the 3 POP accounts and then logs off.
3. When one of the WinTel boxes starts browsing the Internet the linux box
logs the user (I think samba can tell me this) and dials up one of the ISP's
for as long as required for surfing. If its a saturday it just leaves the
saturday link up.
4. When an FTP to the appropraite Web server is detected (they can only be
FTP'd via that ISP's dialup) it automatically dials the correct ISP.
5. (Bonus) Instead of having all my machines refer to one DNS (my primary
ISP) they point at my linux box whos DNS forwards requests to the closest DNS
at the time to minimise network hops (which depends on which ISP I have
dialed up)
How Far I have Got:
I've got IP-Forwarding working fine (although I need to tweak the firewall
stuff at some point). I'm using WvDial to dial the various ISP's (a lot
easier than messing around with Chat scripts). I'm slowly going through all
the HOWTO's I can find (but I still havn't found an example of my described
system).
What I was thinking:
I'm pretty sure I need to use Diald for the on-demmand dial up but I can't
make out how I would handle the multiple (and time dependant) ISP's. I've
also found a program (?DNRD) that claims to be a dynamic DNS proxy but I have
yet to build it (it doesn't use Make). I'm pretty sure this is going to
involve some scripting (BTW does anyone have a link for a good Bash script
primer FAQ/Intro/Tutorial?).
Does this sound like anything anybody has done with their own system or does
this just sound to outrageosly complex and custom that no one has tried this
yet. I may just be a product of the UK telephone network which encourages all
this multiple ISP stuff.
Anyway thanks for any info and help. I would appreciate people CC'ing any
replies to my mail account as the newserver I usually use is down at the
moment and DejaNews is a bit clunky for browsing but its not nessecery ;-)
Cheers,
Alex.

Why would it need a MAC address? MAC address is a unique number so that
NIC card can be found on the network. Unless the modem had a dual propose,
I see no reason why it would ever need a MAC address.

Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 04:40:15 GMT
Greetings, one and all....here's the low down and any help would be
appreciated!
I have a P100 running SuSE Linux 6.0. It's set up as a File/Print/DHCP
Server/Internet Router/Firewall. Everything works fine. I have Samba
2.0 installed and running great. I haven't had ANY problems with this
machine since I first set it up with SuSE v5.0. I purchased a Mac G3
for my wife (who is a school teacher is has her own little
preferences)...okay, fine. The mac hits the Linux Server and gets it's
IP address via the DHCPD just fine. It connects to the internet through
the Linux Server just fine...so, I know they're talking TCP/IP via
ethernet...but I want to share files and possibly the printers (BJ-200
on the server)....so here's the problems...
I installed Netatalk from the SuSE 6.0 CD just fine....I "think" it's
configured correctly, but I can't find any HOW-TO's and the readme is
worthless. From the MAC, I try to connect to the server via it's IP
address...and a logon window appears with the servers name (which tells
me that they are at least talking on some level)...but the logon
fails...or at least it is never acknowledged from the Server.
So, does anyone have any ideas?? Locations for How-TO's?? etc.??
Thanks in advance!!

Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 01:59:22 GMT
i have an interesting problem on a linux box with two nic:
gw1: 24.24.24.1
eth1: 24.24.24.34
if i don't have default route using gw1, i can't ping eth1
but i can ping gw1. if i add a static route to the remote
host or its network, i can ping eth1 alright from that host.
but this interface goest to the internet and i can't possibly
put in all the static routes.
i suppose i should just put in a default route. but i have:
gw0: 209.209.209.1
eth0: 209.209.209.34
which is also going to the internet and i want eth0 to
carry most of the traffic. so i will default route here.
further more, i don't want packets from eth0 going to eth1. but
i want eth1 to be reacheble anywhere on the internet - just like
eth0.
is this possible? if it is, how should the routing be set up?
i would really appreciate it if anyone could help.

Hello from America!
Well, I had a friend who was running a Debian GNU/Linux system who had
a mysterious problem with DHCPCD ( DHCP Client Daemon) as well. His
problem was that DHCPCD stores a cache and was seemingly insisting to
request resources ( DHCPCD wil ltry to retain your IP if possible )
that weren't there. Look for a /etc/dhcpcd/ directory (or something
like that, never used SuSE, religious issues combined with that great
American Not Invented Here curse that I seemed to have inherited from
our predominantly bankrupt culture) and try looking for some kind of
cache files. Move them into different names and try restarting DHCPCD.
It worked for him.
I'm guessing this because of this log entry:
>Mar 9 02:49:18 beru dhclient: No working leases in persistent database -
>sleeping.
You might be a 'newbie', but the post was perfect. Hope this works.

Subject: Re: PPP is frequently "stalled" - why?
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 18:36:06 -0500
Hi,
I am also having a stalling problem. It occurs when I am receiving
data. The PPP connection will stop receiving data for several seconds
(sometimes a minute or more). I tried tweaking the FIFO level at which
the serial UART interrupts and used irqtune to adjust the serial IRQ
priority. Neither helped.
What did help was reducing the maximum speed which my modem attempts to
connect at. I was quite often having problems when I connected at 49333
(the max was set at 56K). When I connect at 36000 it seems to work
great. I am currently trying to find the fastest reliable speed (40000
seems to be working today).
For my diamond SupraExpress modem I use the following at command to
limit the max speed:
at+ms=12,1,300,<max>
I don't know about other modem manufacturers.
I believe that my problem is either my modem or my ISP's modems. If I
flash mine to new firmware it only connects at 28.8, so I am guessing my
ISP's modems.
Hope that this helps

Subject: nfs and permissions
Date: Thu, 18 Mar 1999 23:18:36 -0800
I have a linux machine that exports a directory to my other machine via
nfs. However I am having a problem with permissions. Say machine_A is
the server and machine_B is the client. Both have the same user name.
When I mount the home directory of the user located on machine_A on
machine_B and do ls -l, all the files and directories are marked 501.
This is the UID and GID for machine_A for myself. On machine_B, my UID
and GID is 500.
Basically, I can't read/write as if my home directory on machine_A is
truly my own. In order to do that, I have to change the permissions of
every directory to 777, and similarily files have to be 555. Normally
I'd prefer 700 and 500 for directories that I don't want to share with
the whole world.
How can I do this? I've read the NFS HOWTO, and the only conclusion I've
come to is that yeah, that's NFS. Other than restricting access to IP
numbers, there doesn't seem a whole lot I can do but...anybody have any
suggestions?
Thank you.

Logon fails...hm...I am running MkLinux on a 6100, which acts a sa
firewall/internet server/file server for my PowerCenter 120 (a mac
clone) and I haven't had any problems as far as netatalk goes (except
security, but that's a different story).

Not sure... you are using the chooser, right? Have you added a user for
your wife? I think that's the problem. I don't know why you have to
type in the IP address, you should see the icon of the linux machine in
the chooser when you hit the appletalk icon.
Now wait...Using Linux by Bill Ball (published by Que) covers Redhat
Linux, but the MacOS configuration described therein should be the same,
I think.
Good luck!
