Also, if you are not planning on running sendmail, you can goto /usr/sbin/
and run ntsysv, and remove the check from the sendmail prompt.

kinda pointless, most hard drives transfer data slower then 12 megabytes
per second anyways. unless you went all out and got scsi a/v drives

Does anybody know if there's a maximum number of bytes recorded by
ipfwadm -A rules before they restart at zero ? I'm trying to measure
all traffic on a T1 line and it looks like the counter resets from time
to time although the machine didn't eg. reboot. Last time the value could
have been around 4GB but I don't know if it was sthat high when it happened
before.

This is a followup for my request for help.
I'd like to thank H. J. Lu for supplying what the patches and knfsd and
the direction to get this working.
Hope this helps.
Problem : With a RH5.2 install and running the linux as a fileserver
to Solaris clients, NFS would fail when more than one client
connected. Failure included files becoming corrupted and nfsd
die'ing (sp?).
Note, I also had problems with the DEC OSF1 connecting to the
exported linux filesystem.
Solution :
Get the linux kernel 2.2.5. See www.kernel.org/pub.
A. Install RH 5.2.
B. Added the following rpm/patches :
XFree86-3_3_3-1_i386.rpm
Xconfigurator-3_89-1_i386.rpm
XFree86-SVGA-3.3.3.1-1.i386.rpm* libc-5.3.12-28.i386.rpm*
XFree86-SVGA-3_3_3_1-1_i386.rpm svgalib-1.3.0-3.i386.rpm*
XFree86-XF86Setup-3_3_3_1-1_i386.rpm sysklogd-1.3-26.i386.rpm*
XFree86-xfs-3_3_3_1-1_i386.rpm zgv-3.0-6.i386.rpm*
These patches are not required. Just the steps taken via my
install
method.
C. Obtain from ftp://ftp.varesearch.com/pub/support/hjl/knfsd/
knfsd-1.2.2a.tar.gz # this contains the patches for 2.2.
and the following rpm's from ../linux-2.2/RPMS/i386/
initscripts-3.78.1-3.i386.rpm
nfs-server-2.2beta37-1.1.i386.rpm
nfs-server-clients-2.2beta37-1.1.i386.rpm
knfsd-1.2-2.i386.rpm
D. cd /usr/src; rm linux # remove linux link
E. Add patches to 2.2.5 kernel. Patches are part of the
knfsd-1.2.2a.tar.gz kit.
Build new kernel.
- make clean
- make xconfig
- select Code maturity level options. Select y.
- select Network File Systems. Select NFS server support.
- save and exit
- make dep
- make clean
- make zImage
- make install
- make modules
- make modules_install
- Edit /etc/lilo.conf ; modify to /boot/vmlinuz. lilo.
- reboot
F. Install the rpms :
- rpm -U initscripts-3.78.1-3.i386.rpm
# note, /etc/rc.d/init.d/network modified.
- rpm -U nfs-server-2.2beta37-1.1.i386.rpm
- rpm -U nfs-server-clients-2.2beta37-1.1.i386.rpm
- rpm -i knfsd-1.2-2.i386.rpm
G. Setup the startup scripts.
Copy the rpc.nfsd and rpc.nfsfs from the knfsd-1.2.2a/etc area.
[/etc/rc.d/init.d]# mv nfs nfs.orig
[/etc/rc.d/init.d]# mv nfsfs nfsfs.orig
[/etc/rc.d/init.d]# mv knfsd-1.2.2a/etc/rc.nfsd nfs
[/etc/rc.d/init.d]# mv knfsd-1.2.2a/etc/rc.nfsfs nfsfs
[/etc/rc.d/init.d]# chmod 755 nfs*
Don't forget to export the filesystem, via the /etc/exports file:

Setserial will show the IRQ configured in Linux for the modem device file
and will also configure the IRQ for the device file. This configuration
is usually done on boot-up in one of the /etc/rc.* files. This must be
configured to the IRQ the modem actually uses.
Look to the modem manual for the IRQ the modem actually uses. PnP may
be more difficult and I don't do PnP.

Using the Linux RedHat 5.2 minicom logging into my ISP, I get the
username and password prompt, but they keep getting rejected when I type
them in. My ISP is using PAP. They are not very much help (They are
all NT guys). They can not tell me what command I need to send to their
server to start ppp, but they have told me that I need to initiate it
from the client side.
I'm able to log into my ISP from Win95 no problem. How does Win95 know
what command to send my ISP to start ppp? There has got to be an easier
way. I have read so many HOWTO's on this that I'm probably an expert by
now. I'm just about ready to change to an ISP that doesn't use Windows
NT.

Subject: Linux IP Masquerade and ADSL (PLEASE HELP!!) mattsearch
Date: Wed, 14 Apr 1999 19:10:42 -0700
Hello, we just got our ADSL line in, and while the speed is wonderful,
we are having network headaches. If you can help, please send email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or reply here.
The Goal: For now, it's relatively simple. We have 5 static IP's
assigned to us by the ISP. (in this case, Southwestern Bell Internet
Services). We have 3 total machines we want to share the ADSL
connection, altho a 4th and 5th may come online later. We have one box
thats a pentium and it has linux installed, as well as 2 ethernet cards,
this machine is the one we want to act as a router. The idea is that one
NIC is connected to the ADSL modem, the other NIC is connected to the
hub, and thus, the rest of the network. We want the two machines behind
the linux box to have thier OWN IP. This is very inportant, we do not
want to masquerade, since certain services REQUIRE each one to have
thier own unique IP, and we have static IP's to assign to these
machines. One is running linux, the other is running windows.
The Problem: We've gotten the linux router (in this case we're calling
the linux box with two NIC's in it thats acting as gateway "router")
connected, and we've even gotten both NIC cards configured, and given
them each an IP address (2 out of the 5 we were assigned). We have the
subnet properly configured, and I have managed to get my windows box to
use the NIC thats plugged into the hub as a gateway. The problem is,
despite the fact that I tell my windows box it's IP, once logged
connected to the ADSL, it's masqueraded as the IP on the NIC thats
plugged into the ADSL modem. I must be able to "tunnel" through the
linux box, and still have MY IP on the windows box show on the net, thus
allowing me to do what I need to do. Since it's IP Masquerading, in the
current situation, it seems assigning my windows box an IP is useless
since once on the net it will show me as being at the linux router's IP.
Solutions? Please help out. Again, the goal here is to use the linux box
as a sort of router, but still have the boxes behind it use their own
IP's that are assigned by the ISP. (static IP's). We do NOT want the
windows box (or other linux box for that matter) masquerading as the
router box. IF you can help, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] or post reply
here. Thanks!

When I try to ping or telnet to localhost or 127.0.0.1, I get an error
message saying ``sendto: network is unreachable''. How do I fix this,
as I feel my machine ought to be able to talk to itself.
I have tried the network configurator in control-panel, under the
``Interfaces'' window it gives a list of interfaces, being l0 and ppp0.
l0 has the IP 127.0.0.1, and it say it is inactive, but when I
press [Activate], nothing happens (when I press [Activate] for ppp0 that
works OK.)
Any ideas?

The problem is of a different kind than problems usually discussed with
linux nfs. It has nothing to do with performance, locking, not even nfsd: it
is a mountd problem which affects systems exporting to netgroups (evt.
systems exporting to netgroups imported by NIS, which is our setup). It has
been there since i first used a linux system at work, RH4.2, up to RH5.2
upgraded to 2.2.5.
