I'm glad nobody else answered this. I was beginning to think I'd

Subject: NIS Problem

We have NIS set up serving a bunch of machines, and when you try to
change passwords or do a ypchfn, it gives an error saying: Unable to
change password.
When you look at /var/log/messages on the main NIS server, there are
entries that say:
rpc.yppasswdd[8197]: update <USERNAME> (uid=<UID>) from host <IP ADDRESS
OF CLIENT RUNNING YPBIND> rejected.
rpc.yppasswdd[8197]: chsh not permitted
What would cause this to happen? Our best guess was improper
permissions on ypchsh or yppasswdd, but that didn't seem to be the case.
Thanks,

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I know this question has probably been beat to death, but:
How do I set up a linux workstation to work from the NFS shares provided
by my Linux server?
I would like to be able to telnet into my server, start my ppp0
connection, then start netscape, while still under telnet session, and
surf the net.
I would like to have all login validations running through the server.
I would like the printer, running from /var/spool/lpd/lp1 on my
MIS-Linux box to share to my Linux1 box.
I would like the /home directory, shared from the MIS-Linux, to be the
/home directory on the Linux1 box.
I would like the /usr from my MIS-Linux box to be the /usr on the Linux1
box.
I would like the local files and programs to be mounted at /usr/local.
How do I set all this up? I can usually do most tasks, when instructed,
but I've looked all over the place for information on setting up a basic
Linux configuration like this, but no luck. I tried installing a Linux
workstation, but it doesn't do what I need.
I'm running Redhat 5.2.
Also, I can not compile my own kernel. It gives me a lot of header file
errors. I have all of the kernel packages, included with my Redhat 5.2
dist, installed, but it still stalls on the compile.
Here is what I have:
MIS-Linux, Redhat 5.2 with 2.2.1 kernel, at 206.23.62.186
Linux1, Redhat 5.2 with 2.0.36 kernel, at 206.23.62.187
I can telnet into my MIS-Linux box from Linux1, and ping outside
addresses, but when running off the normal box, I never get responses.

Do your Windows user names match your Linux user names? Or do you
have spaces in your Windows user name? You might want to rtfm about

Subject: DNS+ISP=broken network
Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 22:07:35 GMT
I slogged through comp.os.linux.networking looking for an answer to my
question and I think Bill Clark answered it below but I'm going to ask
all you guru's to verify this before I give up...
I have 2 Win95 and 1 Linux machines on a 10 Mbps peer-based network at
home. I added the Linux box as a Samba server and all was cool after
assigning all boxes bogus IP's. I can dial the ISP from either Win95
machine and it gets a new IP dynamically and everything is still cool
(I guess the Windows dial-up and nic adapters can live with having
different IP's).
But a major reason for adding the Linux box was to be able to try
web-stuff out at home and I cannot set up DNS to work at home. As a
result, I use IP's but browsers sometimes refuse to connect to, say,
http://192.168.1.2 or http://192.168.1.2/manual/ without dialing my
ISP. Whenever I set up the Linux box as DNS server for a Win95
machine, it breaks name resolution when dialed into my ISP.
So my question is, how do I configure these machines so that the Linux
box serves the DNS for my little net and the ISP's DNS is consulted
for the rest of the world?
Now, Bill writes in article <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
>[a lot of stuff about cacheing and DNS not working with dynamic IP's]
>
>If you're going to set up a domain, do it right. Get a static IP.
>
>-Bill Clark
Note that I don't anticipate anyone ever calling into this network so
I don't care too much about other DNS servers and caches (except,
maybe as they break or enable ftp call-back).
And quickly, I'm not going the IP-Masq route of putting the Linux box
on the net because I need to ftp frequently from the Windows boxes and
I understand that IP-Masq breaks certain programs like ftp that need
to "call-back"?
Your advice is very much appreciated. Sorry for the length.

Although i think it is a bad idea, i did use it for a while until i had
a second nic. The basic trick is to use an alias ip address. Aliasing
has to be enabled in the kernel, and after eth0 is set up as usual you
configure the alias with something like
ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.137.191
route add -net 192.168.137.0 eth0:0
Then you switch on forwarding and masquerading as you would with
2 nics, and put in filtering to protect the linux machine.
The big problem is that you depend on your ISP's cablemodem to keep
your home lan out of trouble, as all packets from the modem reach all
your machines and vv.

I've never heard of a router which couldn't route a subnet to a router,

I don't have the slightest idea if it works in its current state, would

Set up the PLIP link using dummy addresses and then start an
encapsulated PPP connection over that using the real address of the
machine(s) behind the PLIP and proxyarp on the router so the machine
behind PLIP seems as though it is on the ethernet.
Not a net guru for encapsulated stuff? Fear not, the ppptcp package will
do this for you, just compile and drop in.
Obviously if a bridging guru can help you do this the easy way, or you
can get the router dude to treat you like a remote router, these are
easier solutions. However, the encapsulated ppp with proxyarp may do all
you need. In fact, just setting up proxyarp for the machine behind the
PLIP might do it, see the arp command, -f option.

Well, no, not that high, but you should get 300-700 KBytes/second on
FTP between your two systems. Or better. I would take a good look at the
hub and cables; try different ports/cables, check netstat -i for error
counts, things like that. Also, do you get the same slowness both ways
(get from Linux, put to Linux)?
If you're still stuck, try reposting and specify your network cards and
other details like that; maybe someone can give you more specific leads.
