Probably your Linux box is trying to log the originator of the
connection (your NT box) and it times out on the name resolution for the
IP address.
Try putting your NT IP address in the /etc/hosts file and check that the
order for name resolution is well first hosts file, and then DNS. This
is done with the line 'order hosts, bind' in the file /etc/host.conf
Hope that help :-)

You could use ypmake. But you also could go to /var/yp and run make.
Or even better, you could read the SuSE NIS HOWTO at /usr/doc/packages/yp/HOWTO.
For this reason, it was written.
I have fixed the missing ypinit for the upcoming SuSE Linux 6.1 for some weeks.

Yeah, that works. I'm doing the same thing, except I have three Linux boxes
(one's an Alpha, one's a 486 and the other is a Celery), two Macs, and two
Windows boxes. One of the Linux boxes is *only* doing the cable modem router
thing, because it's just a crappy old 486 I had kicking around.
The Linux box needs two ethernet cards. You have to compile the kernel to
support IP Masquarading. Your first ethernet card, eth0, will connect to the
cable modem, and the second one will connect to the hub. Configure the first
one to get its IP via dhcpd, and assign the second one 192.168.1.1.
You need a cable modem log-in client to run on the Linux box, and that will
depend on your cable modem company. I've seen clients for @home and Time
Warner Road Runner.
Configure the other machines on your hub with ip numbers in the 192.168.1.x
range, and have them use 192.168.1.1 as their gateway. Set their name servers
according to what the cable modem company tells you, or run a caching name
server on the linux box and point them all to that.
Enable IP Masquarade on the Linux box. Get isinglass from tummy.com to keep
script kiddies from hacking your network. Keep up to date with the latest
Linux rpms from RedHat (assuming you're using RedHat Linux).
If you don't understand anything, ask here.

Subject: How to Keep a Fixed IP ...
Date: 26 Mar 1999 16:40:47 +0100
Hi,
I have a cable connection at home, but no fixed IP for the moment.
The ISP's DHCP server is supposed to check every 90 minutes, and if my
server is still using the IP (which, as it's up 24/24, it usually is),
it doesn't change it.
Last night, however, I was telnetting in from work, and at about
23:00, I lost the link. It was 15:00 this afternoon, when I managed
to get another (different) IP. This necessitated three reboots of the
server as "DHCPCD eth1" hung the server.
This is the third time this has happened, and frankly, it's becoming a
pain in the arse. I can't connect, my users can't connect, and I have
to reboot the server to get another IP.
What I'd like you good people to tell me, is if there is a way to keep
my IP. I've set up a cron job as follows:
0 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,21,22,23 * * * \
dhcpcd eth1
Will this work?
If the worst comes to the worst, I really wouldn't mind paying an extra
100 FFr for a fixed IP, but my ISP doesn't plan to offer these for
another six weeks or so. Would the above cron job keep my IP until
then?
Your help would be appreciated.

(I apologize if anyone sees an earlier version of this on c.o.l.n;
I've been told it may not have got off our local spool due to news
server problems)
I've got hosts running RH4.2 and RH5.2 (kernels 2.0.32 and 2.0.36
respectively) that are being used for a multicast demonstration. Part
of the demo is explaining multicast concepts and I'd like to do that
visually. On the Suns (sunos414 and 551) and SGIs I have, there's an
option to netstat (not consistent amongst them, of course :-) that
will display the groups that have been joined on the host. I can't
seem to find any equivalent on the Linux boxen. Any ideas on how to
dig out that information? I've found /proc/net/igmp, but that output
isn't going to be clear to the people being shown the demo (yes, if
necessary, I can write a program to pretty it up, but I'd rather not
if it's already there). The hosts are clearly working properly with
regard to multicast (they can join groups and properly send and
receive multicast traffic), btw, so there's no issue there.

Subject: netatalk:printing to non-PS printer on Mac from Linux
Date: 26 Mar 1999 15:19:30 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
A friend of mine wishes to print from a Linux box in his lab with a HP
DJ 850c(attached to one of Macs in his lable) on Appletalk network. You
may wonder why he doesn't attach the printer to his Linux box and
configure it to be visible from all the Macs in the network. I'm aware
that there's even a way(using ghostscript) to make HP DJ 850c look as if
it's a postscript printer in Mac Chooser. Problem with this approach is
his Linux box is not always running Linux, but sometimes it needs to run
Windows NT.
So, my question is how to print out to a NON-postscript printer on
appletalk network from a Linux box using netatalk. psf and its family
(symbolic links to psf) work only for PS printer, don't they? I've been
using them to print to a number of public PS printers on my campus from
my Linux box and was successful in setting up my friend's RH 5.2 box the
same way(I wish RedHat supported appletalk printing in its printtool.
In addition, its printer filter doesn't work well with psf/pap and I had
to resort to old magicfilter which have worked great for me). However,
I have no idea how to print with a non-PS printer.
TIA,
Jungshik Shin

If your Lan is using DNS then get DNS to resolve properly. That way you
sholdn't have to add the hosts entry. DNS needs to resolve both forward and
reverse and return appropriate info.
If your not using DNS then to the /etc/hosts file.

You also have to make shure the interface is in promiscuous mode.
I don't know what operating system and version you are using.
Here's from man ifconfig on a Linux-system:
[-]allmulti
Enable or disable the promiscuous mode of the
interface. This means that all incoming frames get
sent to the network layer of the system kernel,
allowing for networking monitoring.

Hi,
I'm running a box with RH Linux kernel 2.0.34 and three network cards.
I'm using it as a router. It's running fine except that sometimes I can
find in the log this line :
kernel: eth1 : XMT status = 0xffff8060
The number can also be 0xffff80a0 or 0xffff80e0.
This is only reported for eth1, never for eth0 or eth2.
I can have up to 60 lines like that in a week.
Does someone have an idea of what this means ?
Or can someone point me to where to start looking for the explanation of
such error message ?
All ideas (even silly ?) are welcome.

These refer to ipx and appletalk protocols, respectively. If you
aren't using either of these, don't worry ... it doesn't mean
something is misconfigured.
To disable these messages, add "alias net-pf-4 off" (and one for 5) to
/etc/conf.modules (or /etc/modules.conf, whichever you have) and
they'll go away.

samba should contain a binary called smbmount. Use it to mount it.
Check out the man page for more information (such as restrictions,
command-line arguments, etc).
If you don't have one (mine is /usr/bin/smbmount), check where you got
the package from and make sure you didn't forget anything. (It came
in samba-2.0.2.)
You also have to have smbfs available to the kernel, either compiled
in or (preferably) as a module. Since you're using it to mount a
win95 box, make sure you also enable the Win95 workaround.

Subject: sendmail without a named on local net
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 18:54:35 +0100
Hello, perhaps somebody can help me ... and please don�t worry about my english.
I�ve got a linux-box running, connected to a local net. There is one mailserver
(let�s say �mailserver�) for the hole net without any nameserver running. All
the mail produced on my box has to be forwarded to this mailserver, including mail
to root. To make it easier, there is only one account (root) on the box, because
it�s a firewall.
So I configured sendmail...
I am running Suse 6.0 (never trie it) but that�s not the problem. I do configure
sendmail over this wunderpretty m4 preprocessor and the important parts look like
this:
# sendmail soll alles weiterreichen an den Mailserver mailserver
# der mu� nat�rlich in /etc/hosts drinnenstehen
define(`LOCAL_RELAY',`relay:mailserver')
define(`MAIL_HUB',`relay:mailserver')
# wir m�chten nicht, da� sendmail DNS benutzt, wir haben n�mlich kein named
FEATURE(`nodns')
FEATURE(`nocanonify')
I allready tried configurations where i defined the mailserver as a SMART_HOST,
tried other mailers and so on. The results always look like this:
Mar 26 14:18:16 ... sendmail[688]: OAA00649: to=root, ctladdr=root (0/0),
delay=00:04:03,
xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, relay=mailserver, stat=Deferred: Name server:
mailserver:
host name lookup failure
Please don�t think, I am too stupid. Of course there is an entry for the mailserver
in /etc/hosts und my bindings in /etc/host.conf are all right. I can do a
ping mailserver
and all other software has no problems with my mailserver, only sendmail...
As I can see, sendmail uses DNS-Calls to resolve the name and does not read any lines
in my /etc/hosts. Also sendmail does not use any system-calls like gethostbyname() to
resolve the name (I wrote a litte C-Programm to test it, my programm got the right IP
for the name �mailserver�).
Is it possible to tell sendmail really to not use DNS vor Name-Resolving ?
If anyone knows any good ideas (please no answers like: did you start sendmail ?)
Thanks, thanks, and ... nice weekend for Linux (it�s raining again here in Stuttgart)

You need to have a program that will accept a connection on a particular
port running on your Win9x box before you can connect. Win98, I _think_
comes with "Personal Web Server", so you could set that up to make HTTP
connections, but doesn't come with any other TCP/IP server software.
In addition, by itself, Win9x is unable to forward packets. You need to get
additional software before you can access the Internet from your Linux box
through your Win9x box. I know such software exists, but I don't remember
any specifics....

I've got a RHL 5.2 server going. Can someone give me specifics on CHROOTing
real users to specific directories upon login, (or other ways of limiting
users to specific areas that don't involve re-vamping my system). Specific.
Meaning, answers like, "see the man page for chroot", or "it's on the
cd-rom", or "check the HOWTO" aren't going to help. I've already read these,
as well as many examples and I have been to the WU site(s). Apparently, I'm
just missing the whole picture here. People are still able to log in and
"see" things I don't want them to. Please help. Thanks.

P.S. I also would like to know about enabling telnet in a secure manner.
Right now, I have it disabled, since any valid user can apparently login via
telnet, cd to my /etc folder, download /etc/passwd and have their way with
it along with shadow and anything else thay can "see".
What I want to do is, eventually, be able to securely telnet to my Linux
server (from a remote location), and transfer files via other FTP servers
running on machines locally attached to the Linux server. I can then FTP to
the Linux machine and DL the files to my remote location. Does this make
sense?
Thanks again...

You need smbfs for this. It enables use to mount 'shares' .It's distributed
with Samba these days I believe.
