Subject: IRC Server problem ...
Hi!
I have an IRC server in Turkey and of course i have some problems :-)
I want a bounce server to bounce some turkish IP's to their ISPs' IRC
servers.. without causing me traffic... and also without disturbing the
IRC users.
For example ;
if 212.34.45.* wants to connect to irc.myircserver.com,it will
automatically redirect this guy to irc.myotherlinkedserver.com, like
dalnet system (i think) ..
i'm using dal4.6.7b.DreamForge ..
any ideas?

Subject: Multi-ethernet config at boot strange problem...
Date: 28 Mar 1999 14:27:29 GMT
Hi everyone !
I've a problem i find really strange .... here's the description:
I have a PC acting as a router with 3 ethernet interfaces,
one is PCI and is eth0 (tulip.o driver)
two are ISA and are eth1 and eth2 correctly assigned regarding their io/irq
(ne.o driver for both)
I'm using Linux redhat 5.2, with kernel 2.2.3, with all necessary packages
for kernel 2.2.x
I have the 3 correct files ifcfg-eth0, ifcfg-eth1 and ifcfg-eth2 in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
the drivers are compiled in modules and loaded using kmod feature.
OK, now for the problem :
When booting, the 3 cards are detected, but when i log on and do an
ifconfig,
it reports than eth0 is correctly configured with values of ifcfg-eth0,
eth1 is configured with values of ifcfg-eth2 (aie :) )
eth2 is not configured at all (aie aie :) ) and thus not displayed.
So, what's wrong ?? i've spent 2 days 'hacking' the rc.*, tried to add some
delay between detection/ifconfig and nothing worked ...
Setting up the whole thing manually works fine, but for a router this is not
really cute ...
For now, I'm asking the Gods :)
Any suggestion ??
Thanks in advance,
Seb. W.

Think non technical for a change. Linux is a great operating system if you
are technically minded - which I assume all of us in this NG are ;) - but
for ordinary small business owners, it is a complete mystery. At least
Windows NT looks like something they know, and they don't have to learn
command line syntaxes for doing basic admin tasks.
I have no particular axe to grind with either the NT or Linux side (although
I am a consultant for MS products), I just think there are a few linux
zealots out there who although they have technically excellent solutions,
fail to take into account that non techos are going to be using these
products.
Also, time for a few facts
1. NO operating system is bug free
2. Both Linux camps and MS spend considerable time locating and fixing bugs
3. A properly configured NT box will not Blue Screen, and will be as stable
as a well configured Linux box.
Just my two cents worth.

Well, ppp0, like other network devices, only exist in the system when
the software activates them - in this case, that means that they won't
exist at all until pppd starts up.
What are you typing for the pppd command? Something like "pppd
/dev/ttyS1 1125200" should work ok... if it doesn't work, try adding
in "-debug" and look in /var/log/ppp.log. That might offer some clues.

More importantly: no software on DVD.
This is from the point of view that a DVD decoder in
software is too much of a cpu drain and that one in
hardware is useless due to the passthru cable.

Ditto here. I'm at a loss to configure two NE2000 ISA NICs (RH5.1). I
am using the module approach. My /etc/conf.modules looks like:
alias eth0 ne
options eth0 io=0x300 irq=10
alias eth1 ne
options eth1 io=0x280 irq=5
eth0 works fine thorough all this wrangling. I have configured the eth1
card in EPROM, as a PnP device, and with jumpers at the above io&irq.
I'm CERTAIN that 0x280 and 5 are available (I've tried 0x320 + 11 as
well.) My dmesg (boot messages) looks like:
...
sysctl: ip forwarding off

loading device 'eth1'
Delaying eth1 initialization
The last line indicates that ifconfig eth1 can't see the device hence
can't bind the IP address to the card. ifconfig -a shows no eth1
entry. Manual modprobes, even with --debug and --verbose, exit with 0
status and no message (!!?!?!), and don't set up the card. However
pnpdump sees the card and I can configure it with the packaged setup
program, so the hardware does talk to the bus.

Well, it still does, sort of. The site www.phystech.com still exists, but mailers
can't seem to be able to route mail to the domain phystech.com. I did a little
search in LDAP directories to see if didn't have another address, and then sent
the same message to every Sergei Viznyuk on the planet, without any response yet.
Perhaps RedHat would be interested to know, they have an open bug report on it
I believe. Or rather, they had an open bug report and closed it on the pretext
that they didn't have a cable modem to reproduce the bug: and of course we know it
has nothing to do with the cable modem.. I hate tech support staff...

When I got a SOHOWare card working last Nov, I couldn't find a version of
the tulip driver that worked on the usual sites, but SOHOWare has a website
(can't remember) which has a Linux driver on it! You have to dig around,
because the website makes it hard to find, unless they've improved it recently.
Also, beware of the usual problem: manufacturer's versions of the tulip
file tend to retain the rev number of the source file from which they
*descend*, so if someone downloads "0.89" and it works, and you have
something labelled 0.89, it may not be the same thing.

I've got a connection to my ISP "working". When debugging the connection, I
can see that I'm given an IP address, I can see the remote IP address as
well. I can ping the local IP address I'm given, but I can't ping anything
on the other side of the link.
I've got an ethernet card in the PC which I've given a static IP address
(192.168.0.1). I can ping that and everything else on my LAN. Its just the
internet connection that is only sort of working, but obviously not enough
to be of any use.
My "modem" is a Zyxel Omni.net+ ISDN adapter.
I hope I've given enough info for somebody to guide me in the right
direction...

It did! :-)
In fact, the bug is in egcs and not in dhcpcd.
The following program shows what happened in udpipgen.c:
essai.c:
/* ----------------------------------------- */
void in_cksum(short *w) {
short answer = 0;
*(char *)(&answer) = *(char *)w ;
printf ("answer=%hu\n", answer);
}
int main (int argc, char **argv) {
short a[1]={0};
in_cksum (a);
return 0;
}
/* ----------------------------------------- */
And now, do the following experience:
%gcc -Wall -o essai essai.c
%essai
answer=0
%gcc -O2 -Wall -o essai essai.c
%essai
answer=63488
The correct answer is 0.
The problem is that the variable 'answer' is not set to 0 when optimizing with
-O2, because the compiler thinks it is useless (but it is not: the next
assignement is partial!).
I reported the bug to cygnus last week, and they told me they fixed the problem
in the last developpment release (1999/3/28).
I also suggested the author of dhcpcd-1.3.17pl5 to slighlty modify the source
(or the Makefile), but his address no longer exists.
Is dhcpcd still maintened???

Hmmm. Not sure this is really the case, NT does Blue screen sometime
without explanation. One thing I do know for sure is that Linux is a hell
of a lot easier to get working again if it fails to boot. Scramble an NT
installation to much and its reinstall time. A key Linux quality is the
ability to recover a system if sometthing goes wrong. This can be very
difficult with NT.

Then you must consider configuration effort.
However, if you then assert that the Linux
installation effort will make it more expensive
in the end, one must consider the useful education
potential involved.
Setting up an insecure gateway could be a potentially
disasterous situation. Even NT won't sheild you from
the abstract security knowledge needed to be aware of
the security issue of either platform.
So, for a server exposed to the net it is actually a
plus that a naieve user might need to struggle to get
some clues for him/her self.
Being on the net (with your home LAN) is like moving
your family to the worst, most crime infested
neighborhood on the planet with all the home security
implications that implies.
