Hi there.
I can't get Linux to see my 3com905b. In fact, I don't have the option to
put a 3c905 in the conf.modules. I rebuilt the kernel thinking I could add
support for the 900 series but I still get the same thing. Is there
something I need to do to turn off PnP or something? I'm kind of new to
Linux so be gentile when you reply.
Thanks,

I disagree. I would say that qmail is hardest to set up. Sendmail is
nothing more that a make; make install job, and then the hardest part is
making a .mc file up for a sonfig.cf file. Its even easier id you have an
rpm ;)

I recently tried setting up my parents computer to use ATT , what a pain
in the ass. I was experiencing the same problems, but only with Win95,
it would have to re-dial a number of times, then it would hang up. Then
I couldn't get anything higher then 28.8 even though they have a 56K
modem, I connected to my ISP from thier house and had around 43K. SO
that told me the phone lines where O.K.

OK, from my sendmail.cf:

You have gotten farther than I have with my Diva, but as far as the
multilink, why not let you diva do it alone with its dynamic
bacp/bod. I assume that it will work the same as it does with NT. I
currently use the diva with an nt server and much to my surprise,
when I turned the feature on it would automaticly alocate the second
liine without me giving it a number or mucking with multilink, and we
have an old ISDN switch here. I have found it useful because I hang a
fax off the second line.

Did you put the option rw in /etc/exports?
Do you have enough disk space in the directory you are mounting?
Do both the mounted directory and the mount point have the the write
privelages set for the users that are trying to write?
Maybe you could post the lines in /etc/exports and /etc/fstab that setup

Subject: Using Linux as a Solaris install-server. Almost there!
Date: Sat, 17 Apr 1999 00:08:42 -0500
Howdy all -
Sorry this is so long. I got the following article from
http://www.bus.ualberta.ca/cstudhol/unix/Solaris-Linux-NetInstall.html
(thanks for pointing it out, Darrell). I am trying to get a Linux box to
serve as an install server for a new (to me) Sparcbook 3GX I just bought. I
have the Solaris 2.6 CD, but no CDROM drive for the Sparcbook. I know, a
surplus or used CDROM drive would be cheap, but how would that expand my
little mind? >grin<
In the article below, the author *almost* made this setup work. Seems he
ran into an NFS issue. Now I know Linux NFS is very forgiving. I hear
Solaris NFS is not. I think I remember seeing that Solaris NFS uses a
different buffer size from Linux. Is it possible that the buffer size is
different between the Lin-box and the Sol-box? Anyone know what can be done
on the Linux box to make it export data in a format that the Solaris box
will understand? I looked through the man page for mount on the Lin-box,
and it indicated that the default buffer size is 1024. What is it on
Solaris? How can I change it, and should I change it on the Lin-box or the
Sol-box?
Thanks a bunch for any pointers.
If convenient, please reply via e-mail as well as post.

Article follows:
****************************************************************************
*****
The odd person has asked about this subject in comp.os.solaris before so
I'll
post my (partial) success for all who are interested.
I have successfully installed Solaris 2.7 on an SS5 using a linux machine as
the install server. Unfortunately, I needed an Ultra running Solaris 2.6
for
one part of the procedure. Perhaps someone can figure out how to do this
entirely with linux and let me know.
The machines I used:
ss5box - an SS5 with 1GB disk and 64MB RAM. No operating system.
linuxbox - intel RH5.2 with kernel 2.2.0pre4. This machine has two
network
cards and acts as a firewall/router with ip masquerading. The
ss5box and linuxbox are on the same subnet.
ultrabox - an Ultra2 running Solaris 2.6. This machine is located on the
internet about 5 hops away from the other two machines.
The software required on the linux machine includes:
- rarp compiled in the kernel or loaded as a module
- tftp and inetd configured to run it
- nfs server and portmap
- bootparamd
First, find out the ethernet address and pick an IP address for ss5box.
Setup rarp:
linuxbox# rarp -s ss5box 00:00:3b:80:43:79
If you wish to verify that rarp is working, run tcpdump on linuxbox while
attempting to boot ss5box:
ok> boot net
Next, you need to figure out what kernel ss5box is going to attempt to load.
tcpdump can help with this. My machine wanted C0A8850D.SUN4M. To give it
this kernel, create the following symlink in /tftpboot on linuxbox:
linuxbox# ln -s
/cdrom/Solaris_2.7/Tools/Boot/usr/platform/sun4m/lib/fs/nfs/inetboot
/tftpboot/C0A8850D.SUN4M
linuxbox# ls -l /tftpboot
total 1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 68 Jan 5 22:48 C0A8850D.SUN4M ->
/cdrom/Solaris_2.7/Tools/Boot/usr/platform/sun4m/lib/fs/nfs/inetboot
If your machine is not sun4m architecture, substitute your architecture in
the
appropriate location above. Also, it is assumed that you have the Solaris
2.7
installation media mounted at /cdrom on linuxbox.
If you now attempt to boot ss5box, it should indicate that it is loading the
kernel, but then fail with some RPC timeouts.
To setup and run bootparamd, first create the file /etc/bootparams with the
line:
ss5box domain=house.net root=ultrabox:/tmp/sol7/Tools/Boot
install=linuxbox:/cdrom boottype=:in root_opts=:rsize=8192 ns=192.168.1.1
Run bootparamd on linuxbox with the command:
linuxbox# rpc.bootparamd -d -r 192.168.1.1
This runs bootparamd in interactive mode with debug messages on. Run this
in
one xterm window. 192.168.1.1 is the IP address of linuxbox on the
interface
connected to ss5box.
Two NFS servers are required. One to serve a root filesystem to the install
program, and one to serve the installation media (the cdrom).
Unfortunately,
I was unable to get linuxbox to serve both of these purposes. There seems
to be something wrong with having a linux machine serve the root filesystem.
The filesystem is successfully mounted, but the Solaris machine reports NFS
read errors. To get around this problem, I used an existing Solaris machine
(ultrabox) as the NFS server for the root filesystem, but used linuxbox to
serve the installation cd.
/etc/exports on linuxbox contains:
/cdrom ss5box(ro,no_root_squash)
/etc/dfs/dfstab on ultrabox contains:
share -F nfs -o ro=linuxbox,root=linuxbox /tmp/sol7
It is interesting that ss5box has no trouble mounting the root filesystem
from ultrabox via IP masquerading. The root filesystem on ultrabox is
copied from Solaris_2.7/Tools/Boot/ on the installation cd.
These steps should be all that is required to install Solaris on ss5box.
Start the installation process with:
ok> boot net - install
A few error messages will appear, like 'no domain set' even though
bootparams
does have a domain set. Also, there will be some message about not having
access to jumpstart parameters. Just hit [ENTER] to do an interactive
install. The isntallation should be successful.
I hope this helps people get Solaris installed on their SparcStation without
a cdrom drive. If anyone figures out the problem with NFS, please let me
know.

Subject: how do you share a single email address?
Date: Sat, 17 Apr 1999 05:13:47 GMT
I'm interested in finding a way to share a single email account
amongst a group of users who have accounts on a linux box.
Basically as the email needs to go to a single address [EMAIL PROTECTED]
there needs to be some clue as to who it should get forwarded to.
I've seen a scheme that uses a line either in the subject or the first
line of the mail in the form "Attn: peter" or there was a trick that
had the real name along side the <email@address> "Fred Smith" that is
used.
Can someone point me to a way to do the mail sorting with sendmail (or
perhaps fetchmail can do this).
Many thanks,

If your card has PnP enabled, you should disable it. I have the Fast
EtherLink XL card (which is PCI so no PnP).
If Linux still has trouble detecting the card, you can try forcing detection
(assuming that you have built network driver for the card as a module -
driver 3c59x).
Assuming that the card is going to be installed as interface eth0, try adding
this to /etc/modules.conf (or /etc/conf.modules depending on your system).
alias eth0 3c59x
options 3c59x options=0 full_duplex=1 debug=1
NB. options=0 sets the card for 10baseT
See http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html for more details.
You may need to add the kernel patches from this site if you have a kernel
prior to 2.0.32 (I think). Kernel 2.0.36 has the modified code included. The
3c59x driver covers the following 3Com units:
PCI/EISA EtherLink III "Vortex" series, (3c590 3c592 3c595 and 3c597), the PCI
EtherLink XL "Boomerang" series (3c900 and 3c905) and the new 3c905B "Cyclone"
series
If the modules.conf seems to be ignored at boot, you may need to either make
some modifications to your boot configuration (in /etc/rc.d). See the
documentation in you linux source for more information, usually in:
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/modules.txt
Good luck.

2.2.5 and net-tools 1.121.
After hacking away in the scripts, I noticed that if I rem out the command
in the ifup script that adds the NIC's typical route, then I only get one
entry. Furthermore, if I "down" the NIC (using ifconfig eth0 down), and
then up it again using the ifconfig (ie" ifconfig eth0 up), then only 1
entry exists.
Am I missing something here? is ifconfig <dev> up supposed to automatically
add a route for the NIC?
ie:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
132.206.73.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth0
132.206.73.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0
0 lo
Is this something to be concerned about? How do I correct it? I'd rather
not modify the ifup script - it seems strange to me that there would be a
need for it.
Thanks!
Eric

I know that on the client side I do not have the lines ":lp=:\" or
":sf:" and on the server side I don't have the "la@" otherwise they are
the same. I suggest dropping ":lp=:\" first and see if that helps (
remember to restart lpd ). Sorry, my server is down for hardware
upgrades or I would have tested your configuration here first...

Subject: adding static routes (and gateways)
Date: Sat, 17 Apr 1999 05:10:49 GMT
I'm having a problem adding static routes to my system (RH 5.2, kernel
2.2.5, net-tools 1.121). For some reason, the ifup-routes script doesn't
seem to execute, and consequently, any changes I make to
/etc/sysconfig/static-routes don't appear in my routing table. Has anyone
else encountered this problem? Have you determined the fix? I don't
understand if the scripts are badly written (in which case I don't know why
they have been distributed like this for mulitple RH releases already), or
if perhaps I don't understand how to use the static-routes file. I know the
formating I am using is correct - I've used netcfg to recreate it for me
(just in case), and I looked at the syntax that the script expects.
My other problem is with the gateway definition. I want an entry in my
routing table that automatically forwards my packets to my gateway on the
machine (that is those that don't match any other of my routing rules. So,
I placed the entry in the /etc/sysconfig/network file:
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=false
HOSTNAME=linuxbox.home.ca
DOMAINNAME=home.ca
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
GATEWAYDEV=eth0
Now here's the kicker - when I check the routing table using the 'route'
command, the first routes come into view very quickly, but it takes a
tremendous amount of time (close to 30secs or 45) before the final default
route is displayed (ie: it looks like the route command hangs during this
idle time period where nothing is displayed). I don't understand why this
is happening. Is there something wrong with this setup? Is the kernel
routing table getting messed up somehow? Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks!

Pinging NT to WIN98 works, also logging on to the NT-Server and using the
Internet Proxy.
