I wouldn't worry about it too much. There cannot be 3 versions of samba
installed since you can't put 3 files named "samba" in the same directory.
If this bugs you, you might want to force an uninstall (I think with
a --force switch?) and install again. Also, run a command to update the rpm
database (not sure about the switch -- see the manpage for rpm (man rpm) for
more info)

Re-running the dhcpcd client will do no good. If you check, the dhcpcd
is left running in the background from the first execution. Unless
something bad happens it will quietly continue renewing the lease at
half of the lease period. If the DHCP server is failing at your ISP or
if it's refusing to renew your lease, there's nothing you can do. Your
ISP needs to fix it though if it's failing. If they have it set up so
that it forces you to change IP's you could get one of the dynamic IP
name services.

Sendmail is not hanging! It is trying to resolve your computers hostname.
If you wait about 300 seconds, it will time out. Or you could setup your
hosts file with your FQD and IP.

Most of those things tend to use /var/run/ppp0 to find the process
number of the pppd process. However /var/run/ppp0 is read only by root.
thus they cannot read and bomb.
But, it is easier anyway to just do
killall pppd
and be done with it.

For your application, I think the mid-point Switch is the best suggestion.
However, this thing saved my butt so I thought I'd mention it:
I found a solution for the same basic problem at work. The only medium I had
to work with was a single 12-pair cable buried under asphalt, totaling 1,200
line-feet. There's a company called TUT Systems out of Portland, OR. I'm
using their system to extend 10B-T Ethernet over a single unshielded pair to
the second building! Cost: just under $700 each end.
They have longer-range stuff, but the bandwidth suffers beyond the 1,500
foot model. The real benefit to this system is being able to use existing
wiring (for me).

Shouldn't be a problem -- the only reason I haven't is that their
AUP forbids:
a) all forms of commercial use (I telecommute)
b) connecting any kind of server (sorry -- linux machines)
also
c) they don't allow shell access or procmail (which is really
ugly combined with [b])

If it's a WINMODEM, no it's not supported by any UNIX I've seen.
If it's not a winmodem you must, for redhat, be sure there is a
soft link between your com port and /dev/modem. This should have
happened during installation if all questions were answered correctly.

Oh and btw, to get it to work by hand, there's two ways:
1. If your machine can also boot in win95, boot it there first, make sure you've
got a connection, and then warm boot in linux. Works for me everytime.
2. There should be in /etc/dhcpc/hostinfo-eth0 your last known good address. If
this address still hasn't been taken by someone else, you can bring your interface
up by hand with:
ifconfig eth0 <yourOldAddress>
route add -net <yourDefaultGatewayAddress> netmask <appropriateNetmask> dev eth0
route add default gw <yourDefaultGatewayAddress>
These two solutions work fine with Bell Quebec's ADSL service. With Videotron's (or
whomever's) cable service your mileage may vary.

I'm working just fine with two $12 NE2000 clone cards, and a $60 8 port hub.

10Base5, Thicknet, is relatively tough.

The /etc/hosts telnet thing is one of the more common things that comes
up in this group, though it normally just slows Telnet down, not
completely stopping them.. Oh well.. *g*
You could run a DHCP server on your Linux box, but that would either
mean assigning static addresses to the network machines (almost as much
trouble as an /etc/hosts entry though it does serve another purpose) or
letting the Linux box dynamically assign addresses and losing a certain
amount of control over the IPs for the machines.. Or you could use a
combination, I suppose.. Of course then you need to get the other
machines to use the linux box for DHCP.
Then, of course, you could set up a small nameserver for your network..

Yup, that's the way my box has always been. [1] Suppose I sometimes

[1] Well, since I set it like that.
