If you really want to do that, add ttyp0 to the file. I don't recommend it
though if the box is connected to the net.

Subject: Diagnosing problem with 2nd ethernet card
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 1999 03:32:18 +0000
Greetings!
I seem to be having a bit of a problem getting my second ethernet card
to route properly. I'm a systems analyst for a living, and consider
myself a decent troubleshooter, but this has been agrivating, so I'll
give you the whole story here:
Given a linux box with 2 ethernet cards, 'eth0' and 'eth1'
(raw ifconfig)
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:4B:67:36:90
inet addr:209.181.xx.58 Bcast:209.181.xx.63
Mask:255.255.255.248
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:146763 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:89801 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:580 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:17 Base address:0x6100
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:18:72:5A:81
inet addr:10.2.zz.1 Bcast:10.2.zz.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:231 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:10 Base address:0x280
(this is where the problem shows itself...in the RX and TX packet
counts for eth1...)
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1
RX packets:7834 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:7834 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
(and all of the traffic on 'lo' that should have been directed to
'eth1')
(raw route -n)
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
209.181.xx.56 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.248 U 0 0 0
eth0
209.181.xx.56 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.248 U 0 0 0
eth0
10.2.zz.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth1
10.2.zz.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth1
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0
lo
0.0.0.0 209.181.xx.62 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
eth0
(the double entries don't seem to be making a diff with eth0, so I doubt
there's a problem with eth1)
The above shows the nature of the beast, and it's environment.
A ping sent to anywhere in 10.2.zz.xx increments the packet counts for
'lo' even though it seems anything in the 10.2.zz.0 net should get
routed to 'eth1'.
I'm assuming (yeah, yeah) that no mater what the fate of eth1 is in
relationship to the rest of the LAN, I shouldn't need anything special
compiled into the kernel. I will need kernel support for IPMasq and
whatever else looks fun, once I can ping the card and the 'other' end of
it.
I've tried building the routing table on-the-fly, totally eliminating
any other route than 'eth1' (that was fun), all with the same results.
I also noticed that pinging localhost increments the RX and TX counts on
'lo' by twice the amount I would have thought.
Anyone have any clues for me? Thanks in advance.

You need to set up ipfwadm or ipchains to deny those attempts *before*
in.telnetd has a chance to give them a login prompt. I know from experience that
tcpwrappers doesn't work, my system got busted into anyway.
One of these days you'll see:
12:00:01 refused connect from host.xyz
12:00:02 refused connect from host.xyz
12:00:03 connect from host.xyz
and they'll be in...

Greetings!
What would make sense is to use the Cisco 'modem' as a router (like
it's supposed to be able to do) and let it do the firewalling also (well
packet filtering). I haven't been able to get that working even after
getting an upgraded Cisco 675 (so they could limit my rate to 256k
supposedly).
Of course taking my ISP's advice means taking a huge security risk
without getting another subnet. (Cisco to e-hub to everything else,
each NIC getting it own IP within the allocated subnet) and using
IPMasq is a waste of the subnet. Just one of the Catch-22s I've found
with DSL (exp sold by companies that have no clue as to what they're
doing, like a phone company).

Reply-To: markj*no*spam*@gilanet.com
I used kermit (isn't that what minicom uses?) to connect to my ISP, and
played around until I got a chat script that worked with pppd. Here it is:
chat -v
'' ATZ /
OK ATDTyourISPtel# /
CONNECT '' /
name: yourUserName /
word: yourPassword /
' ' ppp /
hostname: default
What happened was that after accepting my password, I found my cursor
sitting one space past a prompt from the ISP. (Because the characters in the
prompt were sometimes corrupted, I just used the space (ie, ' ') for the
value to be expected in the chat script.) By experimentation, I found that
entering "ppp" and carriage return got me a prompt for hostname. Then, if I
entered 0.0.0.0 and carriage return, the other end responded with a local
and a remote IP address. Later, an 'NT guy' at my ISP told me to enter
"default" instead of "0.0.0.0" in response to "hostname:". I didn't notice
that it made any difference.
By the way, this all worked with an empty pap-secrets file, although the ISP
later told me they use PAP authentication.

Subject: Network problems using laptop and 3Com cardbus
Date: Wed, 14 Apr 1999 16:05:36 -0700
I've got Redhat 5.2 running on a Dell Inspiron 7000. I read how someone
else had the same model, and were using a 3Com 3CCFE575BT 10/100Base PC
card for networking.
I went out and got the card, and followed the directions:
http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~steveh/inspiron/pcmcia-cs_redhat.txt
I am running version 3.0.9 of the pcmcia drivers. My system recognizes
the card, and lets me configure everything, but I can not ping in or out
of my system. All indications are that the card should work. The only
thing that seems strange is when I issue the command: ifport eth0 I get
back:
eth0 6 (100baseT4)
Now I'm on a 10baseT network. When I try and use ifport to set the type
I get the following:
# ifport eth0 10baseT
ioctl: Operation not supported
Does anyone have any ideas? Why is ifport failing, and would this make a
difference?
Thanks in advance!

just installed Rehat 5.2 and got PPP to work without trouble but PPP
performance is terrible - usually 200-300 bytes per second for http and
ping to upstream DNS in 500-1000 ms range with Motorola Lifestyle 28.8
modem. Same ISP and same modem with Win95 performs great. I would like to
know how to determine with Linux how fast I actually connected to the ISP
at. Also, is there a faq or some resource that tells how to optimize Linux

I have an ISP who must use the same software. They told me to start up my
PPP as soon as I got my 'CONNECT' message from the modem. I did and moved on
to the next problem ( I had to add the default-asyncmap option to my
/etc/ppp/options file.)

Make sure your NIC cards are set to half duplex -- lock 'em down. I don't
know about the RealTek cards but I have seen cards insist on using full
duplex even tho the far end does not negotiate (in which case, it is
supposed to default to half). Never use full duplex on a hub unless you
want to see _lots_ of collisions. It is impossible for a hub to support
full-duplex.

Reply-To: markj*no*spam*@gilanet.com
Here are several points to consider:
1. As MP wrote, ppp-on is a script, not an option to pppd. Depending on how
your path variable is set, you may need to run ppp-on from a prompt as:
# ./ppp-on
2. The scripts that come with ppp-2.3.3 assume you have a path to /etc/ppp. If
you have not set up such a path, you need to change the string "exec pppd" in
the sample ppp-on to "exec /usr/sbin/pppd"; and change "exec chat" in the
sample ppp-on-dialer to "exec /usr/sbin/chat".

I'm experiencing a rather strange problem: my linux machine has become
extremely sluggish when talking over the networks. Telnet, SSH, http
(and other, presumably) connections are so slow that they are nearly
unusable. ifconfig reports normal-looking information (zero errors, one
collision, 1500 MTU). I have no idea what caused this situation.
Rebooting did not help. If anyone could point me in the right
direction, I'd appreciate it greatly!
Console performance is fine. System load is normal. The system runs
SuSE 6.0, Kernel 2.0.36, on a normal 10mbit ethernet, on a hub.
Nothing unusual in the logs. Just really, really, really slow
connections.

As far as I know/remember about NFS. you should put the entry in /etc/exports
to read as follows.
/home *.your_fully_qualified_doman.com
then do showmount -e yourNFSserver after you've restarted mountd/nfsd

Don't know if this will solve your problem, but the word is that ppp 2.3.5 is pretty
buggy... try upgrading to the latest version, 2.3.7, and see if that fixes it.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello,
Please forgive me if this has been covered in this group. I am
reluctant to post this since this type of problem seems to be discussed
quite frequently. This particular problem seems to be an exception and I
have only found one message related to this (exact) problem, but there
was no reply.
Problem:
I can not see the server in the network neighborhood. I am running a
small network with 4 computers including the server. Here is the setup:
3 client stations - 2 running Win/98, 1 running Win/95
Linux server kernel 2.0.34
Samba version 1.9.18p7
Class "A" network
All (Windows) computers have the server name/address resolution
setup in the LMHOSTS file.
All Win/98 machines have plain text passwords enabled - (default on
'95)
I can "find" the server if I do a search for the computer.
All *clients* can be "seen" in the network neighborhood.
All clients and server can be reached by "ping"
I suspect a master browser problem, but I have setup and tested
Samba 2 ways with no resolution:
1) With Samba as the master browser with (smb.conf file):
[global]
local master = yes
prefered master = yes
os level = 33
domain master = yes
wins support = yes
netbios name = NS1
When I use nmblookup (-M) to query for the master browser (on the
server), I don't get a response as to who is the master, and I can't see
the server in the network neighborhood on the Win clients. The log.nmb
file contains (among other things) "find_domain_master_name_query_fail:
Unable to find Domain Master Browser....."
2) Disable Samba as the master browser (smb.conf), and let the clients
"fight" for master browser position.
No errors in log files, again, no master browser (by way of
nmblookkup), and I still can't see the server in the network
neighborhood.
Other symptoms:
When I first boot, reboot or login new user - the Win/98 machine(s), DO
NOT authenticate (login) to the server until I: 1) Find Computer 2)
Right click on "Open". Then the machine authenticates and logs in, and
the server shares are available. If, rather than use Open, I "Explore" -
the machine DOES NOT authenticate, and DOES NOT login!?!
After I use this procedure to find the server and map a drive, the
client stations will then authenticate at login, and re-map the drive(s)
after each login or boot up.
I hope this describes the problem adequately enough for someone to help.
Thanks in advance,
Tracy Johns

The Ghostscript hpdj and cdj670 drivers will work... after
a fashion. The hpdj will print everything except color at 600x600
dpi (though the printer is capable of it...). The cdj670 will print
at all resolutions, but the color is faded. You can also try the
other drivers that come with the cdj670 (I think the cdj850, cdj890,
and cdj550?), but those have been reported to work worse than the
cdj670.
Note that all of these drivers aren't included in the
standard Ghostscript package, so you'll have to get a new version
and/or roll your own...
Best of luck,
Brian

Subject: apache1.3.6 trouble
Hello,
I tried to install a binary version of apache_1.3.6-i686-whatever-linux2.
After running the install script (install-bindist.sh) I would like to run
the server with ./bin/apachectl start but an error occured:
error in loading shared libraries:libdb.so.2
The server could not be started.
I can�t find the libdb.so.2. Can anybody help me?
(I use the Suse 5.3 distribution)
Thanks a lot
regards
Sebastian
