Download a kernel of your choice, look into linux/drivers/char/*mouse.c.
Shouldn't take more than a few days of work to port a mouse driver to a touch

Subject: PPP makes me crazy, please anyone give a good idea

Hi
Since a few days I'm trying to get my ppp connection to work. I've tried
KPPP, PPPD with a script from my provider, NETCFG (redhat) and Linuxconf
with IFUP and IFDOWN. They all give the same result, I get connected to my
ISP and I get an IP address assigned, but it's impossible to reach anything
outside my computer. I can ping the ppp0 address, but not the gateway. I do
see activity on the modem when I ping an IP address (once every second). A
ping to a dns name results in a one time activity. This looks normal, except
for the fact that there's no response from my ISP.
below is a part of the var/log/messages file:

It means "Socket Input Output Configuration ADD RouTe: Invalid

This means your startup scripts contain an invalid "route add"
command.
This in turn means you probably put some bogus values in your network
settings.

Subject: IPCHAIN help for web server behind gatewat
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 17:07:43 GMT
Hi, hoping someone can help me,
I've got a gateway running linux connected to an ADSL connection. I use an
ipchain MASQ to allow my 192.169.x.x boxes to use the internet. One of these
boxes is running linux with Apache. All of my internal boxes can bring up my
web page by typing the IP address of the www server into a browser
(192.168.0.2). I need Apache to service requests from the internet.
I figured the best way to do this would be to create an INPUT ipchain on the
gateway. So I tried this with the following command (with xx being my net
ip):
ipchains -A input -p tcp -s xx.xx.xx.xx 80 -j REDIRECT -d 192.168.0.2 80
Didn't work. Outside addresses cannot make a connection with the www server.
Beyond this, I tried a billion other things and every variation of each that I
could come up with.
Any help would be appreciated ...

The comments I've heard from ISC personnel is that they consider
themselves the custodians of INN, but that with programs like NNTPCache,
Diablo, the Highwind products, etc... that are available, it is unlikely
that INN will get a great deal of investment for future development,
unless that comes from the community of people using, administering, and
making source code changes to INN.
Considering that the ISC doesn't have any commercial products (see
<http://www.isc.org/about_us.html> for some more information on their
non-profit status), I don't think they are legally allowed to have any
commercial products. Yes, you can pay for support contracts for BIND,
INN, DHCP, etc... but that's not the same thing as a commercial product.
However, if something like a commercial version of INN were to ever
come to pass, my guess is that it would probably be from a spin-off of
Vixie Enterprises (perhaps Internet Engines?) that has been organized as a
for-profit company in which the employees can get equity in the company
they're working for.

Subject: PPTP & Linux, success and failure...
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 19:04:21 GMT
Oh woe is me.
I'm using C. Scott Ananian's PPTP client to connect to a remote PPTP server,
and have been able to successfully test it connecting to a PPTP server on my
local network here. The Linux box (RedHat 5.2, kernel 2.0.36) in question is
multihomed, and has a permanent connection to the 'net via a second NIC.
When I use the client to connect to a server at a remote office's server I get
very difference behaviour, after the connection goes through, the pppd never
gets beyond the initial LCP stage...
pppd[1067]: Using interface ppp1
pppd[1067]: Connect: ppp1 <--> /dev/ttya0
pppd[1067]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <magic 0x652b0274> <pcomp> <accomp>]
last message repeated 9 times
pppd[1067]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
pppd[1067]: Connection terminated.
pppd[1067]: Exit.
...which is a problem.
Topographically the test scenario (using the local network) and the real
scenario are very similar, so what could be upsetting it so? An authentication
problem should say so directly, as I saw in the test scenario.
Any clues, hints, and proof of my outright idiocy most welcome :-)

In recent version of pppd the /etc/ppp/ip-up script is called with the
peer name in the environment variable PEERNAME.
You could use this to control a case statement containg IP firewalling
commands.
I never have understood the destinction between peername and username
in this context.

You will need two boxes, two ethernet cards, and two high speed serial,

boxes at http://yulia.com/hardware/index.html as they seem to fit a lot of
the needs you have out of the box.

Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 11:14:02 -0800
Hello,
I'm trying to setup a dial-in on my PC linux box but can't get it to work
reliably. I call the unix box modem from a laptop with modem. If getty
isn't running, I reliably get the modem to answer. If getty is running, it
doesn't answer reliably. When it does, after the
connect, sometimes I don't get anything, sometimes I get gibberish, and once
I got login prompt but after typing my login, on each password letter it
would automatically introduce a carriage return. I suspect that perhaps
uugetty turns on echoing and this is screwing up the login. I have turned
off echoing manually from minicom (and quit without intializing) but somehow
uugetty seems to set it itself. Also, the serial How-To says that the E1
should be set.
The inittab file looks like:
# Run getty on /dev/modem
0:2345:respawn:/sbin/uugetty -h cua0 57600 vt100
I'm not using any kind of /etc/conf.uugetty.
Some of the messages in /var/log/messages look like:
Mar 21 22:40:53 numnum login[979]: FAILED LOGIN 2 FROM (null) FOR Login
incorrect login: , User not known to the underlying authentication module
I imagine this is something that a ton of people do but don't know why it's

hi,
i'm trying to build a bridging firewall according to

the bridging works ... unfortunately even if i turn on the firewalling,
here is the configuration:
[win-clients] --- [linux-box] -- [router]
it is a 255.255.255.224 subnet so i tried it with
eth0 .129 and eth1 .157 and static routing
all go to eth0 (.129-.157) except for .158 (the router) and (.157)
...it won't work ...
does anybody know about prblems with kernel 2.0.36 or glibc ?
has anyone a working bridge+firewall construction with a "newer" kernel ?
are there any alternative free solutions for linux ?

Look at the current TTL in your DNS tables.
Suppose it is now set to 1 week then you'd do something like the
following:
1 week before the change over set the TTL to 1 day.
1 day before the change over set the TTL to 1 hour.
1 hour before the change set the TTL to 5 minuites.
...and so on until the TTL is acceptable.
Then change the addresses in DNS and on the interface.
Don't forget to set the TTL back again afterwards.

Are you sure that you have IP aliasing support on this box?
IMHO you should not do "ifconfig down" as it is unecessary and may
upset anyone currently connected.

Probably not.

Even following the TTL adjustment above you should be prepared for
several minuites of disrupted usage unless you paralell run the
addresses. Setting the TTL will prevent name servers caching the old
address but clients may be caching it or may already have TCP
connections open.

Randall, Wish I knew how to help you with the network, but I thought you
might want to get a virus checker asap. The Happy99 worm has attached
itself to your message. I am assuming that you sent this message with
windoze.. THe latest version of norton will eliminate this pest. Hope
someone else can help you with the networking bit.

PS. I am posting this response to the newsgroup so anyone else using
windows will learn about the happy99 worm...
