I'm a little sketchy here since its been a long time since I recompiled my
kernel, but I believe this is a compile time option. This would allow
more than 256 ttys however not sure if you would have to set up the /dev
directory afterword.

check the hardware-howto and see if your lan card is supported at all. you can
probably load it as a module. theres a modules-howto on that as well.

Samba will do it. It comes with the RH distribution. Also look at NET3-
HOWTO. Plus, if you have access to any Linux books, The Linux Network is a
good one. This will get you started.

For a few years I've been accumulating machines and have been
thinking how to go about setting up an internal network. I've
seen naming conventions that always were pretty much topical.
One network I know of uses a sea related theme with almost
every name starting with an 's', starfish, sooshi, seaweed,
shrimp, sucker, etc.
But I like that GIS company's solution of using a country
name and then naming mount points for citys within the
country! Talk about tracking down a problems being a cinch!
Maybe I'll name my machines after Baseball teams and the
mount point names can be well known players from those teams.
Now, I wonder if I can rename 'root' to manager names from
those teams?

This may be minicom trying to use an IRQ that's already in use. Except for

misconfigured IRQ, i.e., the IRQ configured in Linux is not the one that
the modem actually uses.

The device IRQs seem to be mutually exclusive as given here. Check with

Try these commands. I put brackets where you should "fill in the blank:"
ipx_configure --auto_interface=on --auto_primary=on
slist (Note: this command should pull up a list of Netware servers after
previous command is complete)
ncpmount -S [Fileserver name here] /mnt/[directory made for mount point
ex: /mnt/novell] -U [user] -P [password]
Here's an example:
ncpmount -S FILESERVER /mnt/novell -U coopers -P none_of_your_business
Also, check out the IPX HOWTO from metalab.unc.edu. It will talk about
ways to manually configure net cards, etc.

On samba before 2.0 you use smbpasswd without the -e, otherwise the
procedure is the same. Som versions have -a option to smbpasswd to create
a new user in /etc/smbpasswd. This is very convinient when you add a new
user after you have run the smbpasswd.sh for the first time, as you don't
want to overwrite the smbpasswd that already does contain valid passwords.

I downloaded Netscape 4.51 from Netscape's site. I was able to
successfully install it (after unzipping and un-tarring) by doing a
./ns-install in the directory it was un-tarred to.
Sorry this doesn't help you with the RPM deal but just to give you an

This sounds like diald to me. I don't use it, but I believe that's
what it does, and it sounds like you've got a broken config that's
causing it to auto-dial at boot...

I have a RH 5.2 box running linuxconf. When I add a new user and
set their initial password, I typically get an error stating "BAD
PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word". My user's are also stating
that they are having problems changing their passwords.
I have checked the password policies using linuxconf and minimum
length is 6 characters and doesn't have to contain a non-alpha
character. Those are really the only password policies I see in
linuxconf. Where is the above message coming from and how can I get rid
of while still allowing my user's to more easily change their passwords?

Subject: Need Working Example NT dialin via PPP to SUSE 5.3
Date: 24 Mar 1999 16:32:01 GMT
I'm attempting to setup SUSE 5.3 Linux as PPP server for connecting
a Win/NT system to my LAN and the internet. I've got the physical
connection up and can PING by IP address from NT to Linux using
IP address of Linux system. Can also PING other systems on my LAN
though with lower reliability. I can't ping the NT from Linux ...
what I get is an error beep and count increment on the NT for each
ping packet received. Likewise, if I attempt to ping NT to Linux,
using a host name, the return DNS traffic gets the error beeps.
Somehow the NT thinks most of the inbound traffic has errors ... but
not the ping replies. I have no problem connecting from the NT to
the ISP I use for PPP support.
What I'd appreciate from someone who has a successful hookup is
to know their Linux kernel version, their PPPD version and what
the parameters are they give to the PPP daemon when it starts, both
on the command line and any files.
Thanks,
Dave Morris

Hhhmmm, interesting... I'm a software QA bug "hunter-killer" looking for the
bug that allows my NT 4.0 SP-4 (128-bit) Workstation system to automatically
and uncontrollably change most any *.exe file's date/time sitting out there
on a Samba Server whenever I simply initiate the *.exe. I haven't seen many
articles about this kind of thing, although I suspect it's a symptom of at
least some NT/Samba development environments. I'd like to know a bit more
about what you are experiencing. Our main programmer, along with my boss,
find it more expedient to think I'm 'cracked' because I'm in the QA staff...,
even though they stand in front of my PC and see the problem with their own
eyes! F.Y.I. - An extreme symptom: When I simply create a new, single icon in
the background in order to run an *.exe out there on a Samba server's drive,
the *.exe file's date/time stamp is changed to follow my local clock -and
prior to trying to run the *.exe! (Yet the date/time does NOT change when
creating the icon via Explorer right mouse-clicking to Create a Shortcut
-really weird!)
So, what do you think? -I suspect we may be seeing two symptoms related to
the same problem. Aside from the maneuvers you have made, try the simple
icon creation test, with a few *.exe files, as well as try running some
single *.exe files and watch the before/after date-times too. Let me know...

You want PLIP, assuming both machines are running Linux. I don't
think anyone has written it for Windows, though there is a way to do
it from DOS (which you would think would do it, but people seem to say
otherwise).
You could also get a serial cable and use PPP, which will limit you to
115K, but is supported by everything. Also, PLIP puts a strain on the
CPU (it certainly does on my 90MHz pentium, faster machines may not
notice it as much). Still, PLIP is much faster, and doesn't require
user-space demons.

not in the ppp module. There is a module specifically for load balancing.
I think you can find more info about it at www.linux.org/help

The equivalent chat expect/send would be
'ts>' ppp
or perhaps
'ts>' ppp\\r
since I'm not sure whether a carriage return is sent without a \r .
The quoting is necessary for the ts> prompt because > is used

The `~' expect/send in your current chat script may be unnecessary, but
the new one above should either be inserted just before it, or should
replace it.
: That's it. What do think? In light of this script, what changes

I've never seen linuxconf, it wasn't around when I started with Linux PPP.
The /ect/ppp files aren't applicable to chat scripting although there is
usually a /etc/ppp/scripts where ppp startup scripts can be found. These
are not universal and can vary from distribution to distribution.

If you are developing for Windows, you need to check out the winsock
API.
