Subject: Re: Network Printer (Linux + MacOS + HP JetDirect)
Date: Sun, 11 Apr 1999 19:29:35 GMT
Larry:
Thanks for the instructions. Unfortunately, I'm fast coming to the conclusion
that my printer/JetDirect card must be too old. For instance, in my JetDirect
card's manual, nowhere does it discuss how to set the IP address. The
printer's manual also does not discuss this topic.
When I go through the various menus on the printer's control panel, there is
no option to set an IP address. The only pertinent menu is really the AUX IO
menu, and my only option on this menu is to choose phase 2 ethernet --- no
option for choosing the IP address. As I discussed in my earlier message,
listed below, my "test page" from the printer does list the hardware address
of the card, but it does not list what I consider to be a normal "dot" IP
address (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn). It does list a couple of numbers which I discuss
below, but I could figure out how to use these numbers in Linux to specify
the IP address of the printer. (Do you know what a Network Number of 65280
means?)
My firmware revision is A.01.00, and I have noted from a search of DejaNews
that the JetAdmin program requires at least A.02 or A.03 revisions in order
to work. I also don't run Windows, but I guess I could load it and attempt to
employ the JetAdmin in an attempt to set/read the IP address. None of the HP
routines for the Mac seem to be able to do this (HP Namer, HP Zoner, HP
PrintMonitor, Mac Chooser, etc.).
So, as I said, I'm fast becoming convinced that my hardware is too old to be
able to use these current tools (like the printer's control panel to set the
IP address).
It's frustrating, since I find it hard to believe that I can't get Linux to
query the LAN somehow with RARP-like queries and have all NICs respond with
their harware and assigned IP addresses. As you can tell, my inexperience in
networking is showing badly.
Thanks for your suggestions and response. I just don't think my hardware is
new enough to be able to use the suggestions.
Regards,
Nick B.

Subject: Can't Telnet directly to provider??
Date: Sun, 11 Apr 1999 15:10:45 -0400
I can't telnet one of my providers directly through
Rh 5.1 Linux. I can telnet to this provider through
Windows95. I can telnet to this provider by telneting
to another one and then back to this original one.
The provider is running BSD. Normally when I telnet in through
windows or when I do the double telnet, I get a BSD
login window, which I have no problem logging in to.
When I try directly, I get a different telnet window, which
also asks me to login, but when I use my normal name and
password it tells me that it is incorrect. My provider
doesn't have any clue.
I suspect that there is some initial communication, when you
telnet, that tells the server, some information about the system.
Maybe it sends my linux environment and maybe that is not what it
wants to see so it brings up some other type of login screen,
possibly a more secure one that might want an additional password
or user name.
Any Ideas will be much appreciated.
Thank you
Mike

Subject: yppasswd doesn't work
Date: Sun, 11 Apr 1999 19:05:19 GMT
Although NIS seems to be working okay on master, slave, and clients, I
can't get yppasswd to work for either users or root on any of them. It seems
to be working until the very end when it says: Error while changing the NIS
passwd. The NIS passwd has not been changed on my.master.server
This is with RH5.2. I know that NIS has some conflicts with pam, like you
can't use shadow -- is pam screwing up yppasswd as well? Thanx.

Hi there,
I've a little problem I don't know how to solve, or even if it's solveable:
I'm using Samba as File- and Printserver. I've tried to share a Microsoft
Access Database on a Samba-shared networkdrive but was unable to use the
database from two different workstations at the same moment. I've got the
error message that the database is already in use and that it cannot be
opened a second time.
What do I have to do to solve this?
Thanks in advance and happy computing.

I am using Red Hat 5.1.

Yes, it works fine. When you get it installed, you'll probably find the
newsgroup "athome.users-unix" helpful. If you can read documentation and
know how to configure the networking in your Linux dist, you should have
no problem whatsoever; I didn't.

cat /proc/interrupts
This will show you the IRQs that Linux is aware of and using. As for your
modem, ensure it's not set at 3, 4, 7, 14, or 15 as these are almost
always in use. SoundBlasters like IRQ5 for their default IRQ. I usually
put internal modems at IRQ 11, COM3: or just use PnP whenever I can.

In regards to the question I just posted about yppasswd not working for
either root or users, I read further -- someone else had posted nearly the
same question, and was asked what the rpc.yppasswdd logged for it. Looking in
messages, I see that it says that rpc.yppasswd couldn't open /etc/yp/passwd.
And, of course, there is no such file -- why is it looking there instead of
the the normal /etc/passwd file??

OK, I think I found what I was looking for and it may be simpler than I
thought. You are right about IPFWADM it does look like that is what I can
use. I found the below on a FAQ about IPFWADM. This looks exactly like what
I want to do. I have tried executing this command and it does not forward
web traffic like it says it is supposed to do. I tried connecting to the
Internet side IP of my gateway and it comes back with an error. If I
connect from my gateway to the internal IP of my Web Server it works fine.
Is their an error in the below command? Then man is so cryptic and this is
all I can find on the subject.

when you log in anonymous, the file system is chroot'ed to ~ftp (i.e. ~ftp
becomes /). In this situation any symlinks outside ~ftp are invalid.
The best solution would probably be to do the opposite: move that directory
under ~ftp and create a symlink to it from the outside.

I did enable routing, using the ip of the remote web host as the network
