Subject: Re: how to get getty to generate login
Thanks for the suggestion. What I don't quite understand is that running
getty has got to be one of the most popular things to do on a linux box.
Doesn't everyone use this? The serial How-To barely mentions mgetty -
it primarily talks about getty and mentions using uugetty for serial
input and output. Where can I find documentation about mgetty?
Thanks again.

Brian,
Bear with me on this, I just started with Linux and Samba and I seem to be
getting nowhere fast. <g> Have to check which version I have, but it is the
one that shipped with RH 5.2.
I take it that step 2. below creates the initial smbpasswd file from the

Is there any 'getting started' documentation on the web, other than what is
at samba.org? TIA,

Hi all,
I am trying to set up a network access under my brand new RH5.2 but it
doesn't work at all. I am using a IBM Token Ring Card (PCI), so I should have
an interface tr0 using the module ibmtr (from what I've understood). I've
configured everything via netcgf (static IP address, etc) + kernelcfg (for the
ibmtr module), but when I try to activate the tr0 interface, I get a 'Delaying
tr0 initialization'. Besides, I get a ibmtr: module not found at boot time...
(although I compiled a new kernel..).
If anyone can help, that would be GREAT!!!
Thanks.

as head network engineer at my isp I believe I'm qualified to answer
this question.
the T1 comming from the telco has 24 digital channels. the CSU/DSU
combines these channels to use the full bandwidth of the T1. 1.5Mbps
there are 2 connections on a typical CSU/DSU one serial to the router
the other an RJ-45 for the T1. This is used for point-to-point
connections between POPs and to the internet backbone. the serial
side connects to the router which normally puts the traffic on the
ISP's ethernet where the modem banks and servers are.
when a user dials in, s/he hits a ch-T1 also with 24 channels that
connects directly to a digital modem bank. each channel is a seperate
phone line and no csu/dsu is used.
one could say that a CSU/DSU is a digital multi-modem with 24 lines
using load balencing automatically.
here is a simple illistration
internet(telco T1)

net-pf-19 has not ever been in conf.modules, so I don't know

Why not use the mgetty rpm ( which already has AutoPPPP compiled in)
Note that you also have to set it up in
/etc/mgetty*/login.config.
Put debug inot /etc/ppp/options, and put
daemon.* /var/log/messages
into /etc/syslog.conf ( and do killall -1 syslogd)
so you can see the deubugging output from ppp when mgetty starts it.

It is not more efficient, and while it may be smaller, the differenc eis
neglible compared witht he time you have already spent worrying about
it. It is possible to compile mgetty without sendfax, but...

No. That is what PAP means. You can using the login option have PAP use

Looks like you are missing one step. You need to have another line for

/sbin/route add -host 192.0.0.3 dev eth0:0
With that said here is a nice script I used and it worked the first time on
Slackware. :)
#!/bin/sh
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
BROADCAST="192.0.0.255"
NETTYPE="eth0"
IPALIASES=" 192.0.0.3 192.0.0.30 192.0.0.40"
# Add as many or take away the number of IP-Aliases you want.
i=o
for ALIAS in $IPALIASES
do
/sbin/ifconfig ${NETTYPE}:${i} ${ALIAS} \
broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask ${NETMASK}
/sbin/route add -host ${ALIAS} dev ${NETTYPE}:${i}
i=$[$i+1]
done
This can be writen as a script as I did and called it from rc.local, or just
add it to one of your rc.* files. I don't remember what one to edit in
Redhat, sorry.

You will need to
A) Setup the linux machine to support IP masquerade. There are a number of
HOWTO's and websites available on how to accomplish this. Look at
http://www.linux.org/help/howto.html The ones one Masquerading Proxy Server
and IP Chains will be of a lot of use to you.
B) Setup the linux machine to act as a PPP server. The PPP Howto at the
above URL will provide a good start for you.

huh? do you even have a clue of /usr/ vs /usr/local/ ? /usr/ is primarily
for vendor installed software, /usr/local/ is primarily for site installed
software. since perl comes out of the box on practically every linux
install (hell, debian uses it for some of it's init scripts!), it qualifies
for /usr/ that said, perl (like most other well-written packages) is happy
to install just about anywhere - the Configure script explicitly says that
installing in your home dir is fine.

Subject: how do I use 2 static IPs plus masq
Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 17:49:29 -0600
I currently have one redhat5.2 linux box #1 with a static IP doing chores as
an IP masqurade machine to a couple WindozNTs and a NeXT. Works absolutely
flawless.
I want to add another static IP linux box #2 (to run Secure Apache), do I
need to add a second ethernet card to my linux box #1? Both static IPs are
on the same subnet.... 207.250.91.48 and 207.250.91.49.
All help appreciated.
Thanks
