Hello all,
I am using R.H5.2 with kernel 2.2.1. I tried to exports a file system
but get
permission denied each time I tried to mount it from any host ( SunOs,
SGI, Linux ).
I have two problem:
1. When I try to use netgroup I get : " netgroup support is disabled "
but I never disabled it ( I don't know how :)
and I user YP as client for other services.
2. When I try to mount it without using the hosts.allow & hosts.deny I
get : " Blocked attempt of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
to mount /local/bage ( where xxx is the ip of the host I try from )
and I can find where the problem is.
3 I can't create ( of course if I can't mount it manualy ) the amd key
map for that file system.
Thanks in advenced.

I _am_ an ISP, and I run with AsyncMap 0 always. pppd 2.3.7 died in this way
for me as well when I put it up on one of our dialin boxes in the wee hours
of this morning. As I type, the box has been "reverted" to 2.3.6 and that
seems to have fixed it (no other changes).
In case it matters, the box is kernel 2.0.36 (a RedHat 5.2 install) and I
installed pppd from source.

Subject: Modem connect speed with PPP
Date: Thu, 08 Apr 1999 23:20:46 +0100
I'm running Red Hat 5.1 (I haven't got 5.2 yet).
I don't have any problems connecting to various ISPs using
PPP - this all works fine. However I haven't been able to
find out just how fast the connection is made.
On Windows95 when you connect to an ISP a telephone icon
appears in the lower right corner of the screen which
when you click on it tells you amongst other things the
speed at which you have connected via the modem to the ISP.
I can't find anything like this on Red Hat Linux. I would
like to know how fast my connections are.
Any ideas?

How did you set up the shares in Linux, and then set up Windows to see
them? I've got a thread a few lines below this one describing an
issue I am having. I have an NT machine and a Linux box. I've only
done networking with Microsoft-based and Netware machines.
Thanks for any suggestions

So can you use port forwarding for the one machine that needs to be accessed
from the outside, and NAT for the rest of the network?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
After a year or so of absense, I just reinstalled Linux, so I am not
totally new to it, but this time I am trying to get it working in a
tiny network, so forgive any stupid questions. I've been poring over
FAQ's and HOW-TO's for the past couple of days, and am as confused as
ever.
First, the setup:
Linux 2.0.36 (Redhat 5.2) on 528 MB Fujitsu /dev/hdc1
(506 for hdc1, 22 for swap at hdc2). Kernel boots from DOS with
LOADLIN.
AMD 486-133 on an Amptron DX-6900 MB VLB. 36 Meg FP ram.
Chinon SCSI 2X CDROM with Nolan SCSI card. Linux sees a SCSI device
but does not recognize CD.
SIerra 33.6 Voice Modem on /dev/cua2. Apparently works.
Promise 2300 VLB controller.
Diamond Stealth VLB 2 Meg (No problems in X)
Opti 930 Sound card. Not tested.
Intel EtherExpress 16 NIC at eth0.
==============================================================
This is networked to:
A Celeron 300a@450 with an Abit BH6 mobo, 64M ram, 3Com 905b-tx NIC,
which runs Win98 configured only for TCP/IP.
The 486 is normally networked under Win95 (OSR2) and both work
together fine with file and printer sharing.
Under Windows they are set up as:
10.100.100.2 486
10.100.100.3 c300a
However, under Linux I am having great difficulties figuring out how
to get the machines to interconnect. Possibly because I am confused by
the terminology.
On the 486 in Linux:
hostname = 486Linux
In hosts:
10.100.100.3 486.here 486
10.100.100.2 c300a.here c300a
and in the eth0 setup for name+domain, i have 486.here
I am uncertain of the significance of the 'domain' and for simplicity
sake have assigned it as 'here'.
The machines can connect through ftp and telnet, but if I try to
transfer a file in ftp to the W98 machine I will get an error, and the
Linux machine will totally lock up, requiring a reboot.
I also get some CU errors from eth0 sporadically that will lock the
machine.
What I really need is some SIMPLE instructions with examples of how to
set up a peer-to-peer network. Now what I need from the network is for
the Win98 machine to have complete control over the Linux/486, and to
be able to run Linux apps, as well as display XWindow graphics over
the Win98/C300a monitor.
I dont know if samba is capable of this, since in actuality I dont
care if the Linux box can see anything on the Win98 machine, but its
necessary for the opposite to be so. I have Starnet X-Win32 server for
98, but in this case the actual server would be Linux. Any ideas on
software, and especailly means of configuring it would be greatly
appreciated.
Please Cc: any replies. Email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] is valid.
Addendum:
The Nolan Computer Systems SCSI card is not fully SCSI compliant, as
it was made only for CDROMs like the CHINON 2X. I know of no Linux
drivers for it. Nolan doesn't either....
The Intel EtherExpress 16 NIC has no jumpers, and was initially
configured as IRQ5 port 0x360. Linux totally refused to recognize that
this card even existed until I used a DOS utility called softmenu.exe
from Intel to modify the port address in EEPROM to 0x300.

Or....
If the box had been used in the past connect it to a printer and have it print
a test page. The IP address will be on the page. Telnet into the box and you
will be greated with a menu where you can set any-all of the parameters.
However if the IP is 0.0.0.0 you will have to run Jetadmin.

Anybody,
I recently installed rhl 5.2 on my PC and have been trying to get internet
setup. When I use Minicom, my modem dials out fine, connects and lets me
fill in my info (username, pword) but I'm not sure what to do next. I've
been told to try
pppd -d -detach /dev/modem &
I've tested to see if that worked by typing
ifconfig ppp0
and it says ppp is running but when I try to go on netscape it can't connect
to any site. I have my DNS numbers installed. Keep in mind that I am a
BEGINNER.

Hi,
I had the same problem and resolved it the way you said (RH5.2). Is
there anyway to get linux to use DNS instead of the hosts file? I'm
using M$ NT4.0 DNS, but it resolves the names ok when I ping hosts.
TIA,
