interesting problem !!!
maybe there is a possible syntax to 'xterm -display (one machine here)(other
machine here)'
my solution would be , have a look at vnc ( some kind of remote desktop) from
orl . sorry no url but shouldn't be too hard to find.
it has a server part, must be running on the machine to monitor, plus a client
part, where you can see and interact with the server machine.
good luck

you can use ftp if the ftp client supports connections via proxy server. In
general, every application has to be aware of the existance of the proxy if
it hopes to connect to the internet. (i.e. proxy is not transparent)
Another thing proxy can do is cache web content (like disk cache in
Netscape)

wrong. I play Q2 through an IP masq gateway. Most things work through IP
masq as well (icq, irc, ftp, etc.). The client software does not have to
know that the computer is not connected to the internet directly. (i.e. IP
masq is transparent).

Since ping does not use WINS to resolve names into ip numbers, this
does not prove that your linux system is not accessing WINS.
If you cannot ping your workstations by name, perhaps you need a
DNS server somewhere

if you can't find Xconfigurator, it is probably not installed...
try XF86Setup. If that fails - you need to install stuff from CD.
also, run setup. You might find it useful.
as for the space question, I would create a 30-60 MB swap partition
(depending on how much memory you have) and give the rest to the root
partition (/).

Subject: Re: PPP available for non-root user
Date: 8 Apr 1999 05:50:45 GMT
I haven't seen this solution, but here's what I do: Set
up sudo to allow users access to certain commands. It's
nice in that you can allow mortal users access to other
commands as well. In addition, you can make them give
their own password as an additional verification.
Here's part of my sudoers file (use visudo to edit
this file!):
Host_Alias LOCALNET=192.168.1.1 # this is the local host
User_Alias LOCALUSERS=mortal
Cmnd_Alias PPP=/usr/sbin/ppp,/usr/sbin/pppoff
LOCALUSERS LOCALNET=NOPASSWD: PPP
Leave out the NOPASSWD: part if you want to prompt
for the user's password. Then tell your users that
you've set up like this to run
sudo /usr/sbin/ppp
instead of /usr/sbin/ppp directly, and they'll be prompted
for their password (not the root!) and then it'll run the
command. This procedure also avoids making the ppp script
setuid root.

Subject: Stable Linux versions
Date: 8 Apr 1999 06:49:16 GMT
Up to now, just about everyone has been using Linux kernel V2.0.36. This
I think was the last stable version. Now it seems as if V2.2.5 is stable
also, which means that people using 2.0.36 will want to migrate to
2.2.5.
This brings up a question: Is there any documentation on the differences
between stable versions of Linux? This will help to answer the question:
"What will I gain by migrating from 2.0.36 to 2.2.5?".

I mean that MS chose to store all passwords in one file per user (including
dial up passwords), partly 'cause it was convenient, and also that way
access to all passwords were 'proteced' (if not very well) by a single
password. Keep in mind that W9x was designed for the 'average' user so
keeping the passwords collected seemed like a good idea.)
Of cource, some find it confusing to 'have' to install the MS Network client
'Since they didnt have a network installed' but thats another story

you have trouble with box1, sit on box1, open xterm ( or on console) , type
telnet box1 ( or ftp box1)
on another console/xterm, see if there are any messages/warnings added in

I just got pppd 2.3.7 working under the 2.2.5 kernel so it can be done.
What I had to do to get everything going was to ensure that my
/etc/conf.modules included the following lines:
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate
After that, my ppp connections have been sailing along.
If you are still getting references to pppd-2.3.5, then one
of two things is possible: you don't have the compiled 2.3.7
modules somewhere where kmod can find them, or you do not have
the 2.3.7 modules compiled properly. You should have the
following files in your /lib/modules/2.2.4/net
bsd_comp.o, dummy.o, ppp.o, ppp_deflate.o
and possibly some slip modules if you asked for those in your
kernel compile. Not sure if you have done this yet, but it is
probably a good idea to do another kernel compile after
downloading the pppd-2.3.7 source and compiling it just in case
it has to pick up something from the new pppd during the compile.
If you are running Redhat, then do the following after rebooting
with the new set of modules:
cat /proc/version > /lib/modules/2.2.4/.rhkmvtag
And if you do not have a "preferred" listing in your /lib/modules
then do a "ln -s 2.2.4 preferred" (no quotes) from the
lib/modules directory. I'm running RH 5.2 and had to do all the
above. It was worth the effort though since pppd-2.3.7 seems faster
than its predecessors and has a few useful new options.

Sounds like 'updatedb' running. Look in your assorted crontabs

by no means a definitive answer but one reason I am about to upgrade is
because 2.2.x supports IPChains and 2.0.x uses the inferior ipfwadm.
Unless anyone more technically competent can say otherwise, I believe this
to be the case

Subject: qmail can only send, but not receive
Date: Thu, 08 Apr 1999 04:39:46 -0500
I just installed qmail for curiosity. when i test it, it can send email
from my local machine to my school account, but it can not receive
emails neither from local machine or my school account. sendmail could
do both before i uninstalled it. any clue? Thanks.

Subject: help - PPPD: Serial line is looped back. Connection terminated.
Date: Thu, 08 Apr 1999 09:46:25 GMT
After having no problems connecting to my ISP with my old 33.6k modem I went
and bought a 56k modem which refuses to connect. I seem to have 2 problems.
One is that when the modem actually manages to dial, I get this message in
/var/log/messages : Apr 8 19:49:24 sport pppd[436]: expect (CONNECT) Apr 8
19:49:24 sport pppd[436]: ^M Apr 8 19:49:24 sport pppd[436]: alarm Apr 8
19:49:25 sport pppd[436]: Connect script failed Apr 8 19:49:25 sport
pppd[436]: Failed
The second problem is that sometimes the modem just refuses to dial and gives
me this message :
Apr 8 20:23:49 sport pppd[492]: pppd 2.3.3 started by root, uid 0
Apr 8 20:23:50 sport pppd[492]: timeout set to 10 seconds
Apr 8 20:23:50 sport pppd[492]: Serial connection established.
Apr 8 20:23:51 sport pppd[492]: Using interface ppp0
Apr 8 20:23:51 sport pppd[492]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem
Apr 8 20:23:51 sport pppd[492]: Serial line is looped back.
Apr 8 20:23:51 sport pppd[492]: Connection terminated.
Any help is appreciated.
TIA
