I am sorry that I've wrongly type your e-mail address.

IMHO, this is the best method to re-build your loadable modules:

Sounds like your login process (/bin/login) can't start you login shell
program (tcsh, bash, pdksh). I would start in single usermode
(LILO prompt type kernel name and single:
example:  llilo:  linux single <ret>
)
This should start as root with a bash shell running.  Then find the shell you
are using in the password files
and attempt to start it

example

[howe@hadrian howe]$ grep howe /etc/passwd | cut -f7 -d:
/bin/bash

file `grep howe /etc/passwd | cut -f7 -d:`  (backward quotes  (on tilde key))
should return:
/bin/bash: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, dynamically
linked, stripped
This verifies that the shell exists, and is executable

Then you can do a ldd on the file to see what libraries (if any) it is
dependent on. The verify that the libraries exist
[howe@hadrian howe]$ ldd /bin/bash
 libtermcap.so.2 => /lib/libtermcap.so.2 (0x40007000)
 libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4000b000)
 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00000000)

So that fix path is:
verify the shell exist
verify it works (run it)
if that fails, verify it is executable, and you have permission to use it
(-rwxr-xr-x)
verify it's libraries exist, and are in the normal linker location (see
/etc/ld.so.conf)
Some where along this path you will find the break.
Fixing could be as easy as changing you shell location in the password file,
setting a permission or providing a link to the real library.
(
[howe@hadrian howe]$ file /lib/libtermcap.so.2
/lib/libtermcap.so.2: symbolic link to libtermcap.so.2.0.8
[howe@hadrian howe]$ file /lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.8
/lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.8: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version
1, not stripped
)

Good luck

I was feeling alittle down before I read your response to this "tripe".

You are quit correct in stating that more than a couple of processes lock an
NT box down!

When I was a the IBM Lab, we ran AIX for the backbone with DCE/DFS. (Yes we
still ran and supported AFS). Several Linux boxes where used as routers,
bridges and of course, personal PCs <G>. Our enviroment handled in access of
3400+ users.

When we moved away from OS/2 we tried to incorporate NT into the lab
infrastructure. The only task we would give them with ANY degree of
acceptable reliability was Domain login. (Depending on which support staff
you talked to, this was too much for the code!)

Yep .... I can run Visual Basic ... that makes me a programmer!

Subject: 4mb Ram 386 router
Date: Sun, 21 Mar 1999 15:41:32 GMT

I'm currently using a 386sx with 4mb ram to route between my two
networks. The software is dos based and requires that you register it
or it only will run for an hour. So I was wondering if Linux could do
the job. I headed over to the linux router project and it says that a
486 with 12mb ram is needed. Now the 386 has a hard disk so couldn't
an 8mb swap partition do the trick? It doesn't need to be high
performance, just around 200kbs so mp3 transferrs won't take so long.
If so how should I go about setting it up? Or is my best bet to stick
with DOS?

thanks
Mike Dombrowski

Subject: Re: simple routing question
Date: Sun, 21 Mar 1999 18:20:26 GMT

I find that it is best to forget about routing tables as such and just
set the default route/gateway on each of the NT boxes to the nearside IP
address of the linux box ( or other router). This will also leave things
prepared for you internet connection later. Since your network has two
segments things don't need to be too complicated ;-P.

I hope this helps,

Andy.

Slackware is an excellent--if minimalist--distrib.  It is very clean, all
around.  Configuration is done by hand, through way of editing configuration
files, which *aren't* burried five directories deep.  I just switched to Red
Hat 5.2, as it is glibc based.  Because of my inexperience, I wasn't able to
successfully install glibc on the libc based Slackware distribution.  Not
taking this into consideration, Slackware is a most elegant distribution.

Subject: Solved DNS hookup to NT w/ Cable Modem
Date: Sun, 21 Mar 1999 16:58:05 GMT

Thought I'd pass this by.....

I have my NT setup (NT box) as the main computer connected to the
@home network. It uses 2 networks cards (winbond 840 10/100), one for
the cable modem  and the other for the internel net. It uses DHTP to
get it's ip address for the cable modem  (the ip address  is always
the same) on one card, and 192.168.0.1 on the second card (for
internal network).  It runs Sygate software to which allows it to act
as a gateway. I have  a win98 (and nt)  (win98 box)) installed on the
second network computer (192.168.0.2) and have been connecting
properly to the internet on that box, using both win98 and NT.... The
gateway and DNS settings simply point to the NT box's ip address
(192.168.0.1) . This has been working great.

Now when I installed Redhat 5.2 on my 2nd box(win98) , I basically
kept the same settings. I could ping the ip address of the main NT
computer, and any other ip address and use nslookup to know that I was
getting to the outside world... I could ftp if I had the ip address,
and use netscape if I had the IP address, but not use
www.netscape.com, or any other place that needed DNS Services.
Netscape would give an error... something about the DNS settings not
being correct.... (Netscape settings - Direct Connection toIinternet)

I played w/ dns/local hosts/ netconfig and all kinds of settings on
the Linux system, but could never get it to ping  using the domain
names instead of the ip address...  Until.....

I got Cox data sheet that shows the information the NT box  uses for
it's cable modem... It shows among other things, the Primary DNS
Server's ip address.

On the (now) Linux box,  plugged that number using netconf into the
DNS NameServer1 item, leaving all the other entries blank.

Wallah.... NetScape works, ftp works... everything is fine and
dandy....

So, why isn't this information available in a FAQ??? Everying seems to
have the same (or different) dns problems.... but this information is
not listed anywhere... The information should be there for the
different types of network configurations....

Hi,

A range of X means that there is no password. This is the correct output of the
script because it's not possible to retrieve the Unix password from the
/etc/passwd file (the password is encrypted using a one-way hash function).

So after creating the smbpasswd file, you need to run the command smbpasswd
<username> for each user present in your smbpasswd file to give them a SMB
password.

By the way, the smbpasswd file you make with the script mksmbpasswd.sh is no
more suitable for a samba server version 2.0.x. You need to upgrade your
smbpasswd file with the script convert_smbpasswd which comes with Samba.
 
Hope this help,

allow the internal machines to use the internet through 
the one assigned IP number dynamically set (DHCP) by my
cable provider. My idea is to forward all http requests 
aimed at 24.25.26.27:80 to my real web server at 192.168.0.3:80.
(reason? -the router is an old 386, the webserver is a better
machine more capable of handling the load).I have seen two packages 
that say the can do this - redir and rinetd.

Does anyone have any experience with either of these packages that they
would like to share? I am using RedHat 5.1.

My masq rules I use at startup are:

   ipfwadm -F -p deny;
   ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.0.1/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
   
Thank you kindly,

There are a few possible problems.

1) Check all your connectors carefully, including the terminators
using 10Base-2 they should be 50 Ohm. 
10Base-2 wireing is also crucial. The cable should be one long line,
with every station connected to it and a terminator at either end.

You can check the calbe  using just 2 stations and setting one up as
an echo server.

2) Check the hardware setting of your NIC's

3) Check the configuration of the network protocol you are using.

4) Maybe a tcpdump can give you some more information about what's
happing on your net.

5) Try some other cable and/or NIC's

Good luck
Peter

Subject: E-mails Returned ... any Ideas?
Date: 21 Mar 1999 18:20:18 +0100

I've been in e-mail contact with another user about how to configure
sendmail to fool certain mail servers into believing that my mail
comes from '@cybercable.fr', rather than from '@lievre.coughlan.fr',
as the latter doesn't exist in the real world, and so some of my
e-mails are rejected, with the error:

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to loadmail.club-internet.fr.:
>>> MAIL From:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=264
<<< 501 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Sender domain must exist
501 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Data format error

Club-Internet is just one of the ISPs who won't accept mail from me,
and is by far the 'worst' offender.  I have no interest in spamming,
but as a lot of my friends have accounts with Club-Internet, it's a
bit of a pain.

The other user advised me to put the following into my sendmail.cf :

        CE root
        CMlievre.coughlan.fr
        DMcybercable.fr

However, this doesn't work, and my e-mails are still rejected.  Does
anyone have any ideas ..?

Thanks.

Hello -> notice if we redraw 'lo' we get Help

If minicom works and can connect me to my ISP and I can surf albeit
text-based how come Netscape doesn't also work?

If minicom works can I assume that there aren't any pnp problems? Thus my
failing PPP connection is due to scripting errors?

And, I know my ISP doesn't want anything to do with IPX/SPX or NET BEUI for
win95 hookup, whatever those are.

TCP/IP is the only allowed network protocol. Does this also go for Linux?
And how can I make sure my box is setup right. (dual boot w95/RH5.1
pnpUSR56/fax-modem)

In my /var/log/message file I've noticed stuff about IPX etc. and I get
"alarm" sent from ISP when it comes time to hookup. Maybe that protocol
problem?

Confused by and blinded with questions and problems.
thank-you Jullian

 You need to provide me information in order to locate where the problem is.
 Did you have new kernel compiled or you only have the redhat
 original 5.2 (kernel v. 2.0.36)? 
 If you have got new kernel running, did you configure ppp fuction
 within kernel or as a module?  What exact errors you get at
 /var/log/messages?

Keep in mind that you aren't going to see any difference in speed
unless you are loading more than a couple of T1's, since Apache
has no trouble doing that on a so-so pentium.   There are some
other free solutions to this as well.  The one from
  http://www.eddieware.org/
does load balancing and dead server detection.

A good idea, but I don't want to lose these.

I'm considering that.  Perhaps a syslog type network write (I would
rather lose an occasional line than bog things down if the
file writer can't keep up.)
