Yes this is possible but you need to use the host only option and set up
masquerading.

Slightly more complex: look further in the file and you'll see another
rule that looks like:
# handle generics database
#R$+ < @ $=G . > $: < $1@$2 > $1 < @ $2 . > @ mark
#R$+ < @ *LOCAL* > $: < $1@$j > $1 < @ *LOCAL* > @ mark

#R< $+ > $* < $* > $: $>3 $1 @ *LOCAL* found unqualified
#R< > $* $: $1 not found
Remove the leading '#' on each of those lines (don't change the tabs --
spaces and tabs are important).
There, like magic you have a sendmail.cf that supports the
genericstable. (No m4 needed!)
Now just build the file that it wants (in this case, a dbm -- or you
can change the 'dbm' (both above and below) to 'hash' if your sendmail
and makemap support it):
makemap dbm /etc/genericstable < /etc/genericstable
You should see a pair of files: genericstable.pag and .dir.
Restart sendmail (kill -HUP `head -1 /var/run/sendmail.pid`) and
you're done.

Will probably still work. Most distributions come with a mondo
sendmail.cf with all sorts of options turned on but commented out.
Look for the string 'generics' in your sendmail.cf file. If
genericstable is there, you're set. If not, you'll have to rebuild
the sendmail.cf to add it. (Which isn't as scary as people will tell
you.)
This will allow you to have a file like:
joe [EMAIL PROTECTED]
fred [EMAIL PROTECTED]
And have both local addresses rewrite into the proper return address
(think of it as a sort of reverse of virtual hosting).

Are you sure you want to use a router? If you're interested in firewalling
and security, you may want to use the Linux box as a router. Otherwise, you
could simply use a crossover ethernet cable to connect an ethernet hub to
the ADSL modem. Then you just attach all of your machines to the hub and
address them from your IP pool. I am doing the same thing right now with a
cable modem.
Maybe this will help.

Why rely on anything else when u can do it urself. If u know perl,
it is only a matter of minutes. I run such a service already. Write
a little Perl program (but then, it shoudl run with root previleges
(can u get that!). just have it periodically check ur default redir
a/c, i.e. the a/c to which all mail with incorrect addresses are
routed (but correct domain). if it is xxx, then read /var/mail/user/xxx
or something, and sort accordingly, and then update in /var/mail/user/yyy
where yyy is the mail a/c of the pseudo user. i think u can do this
with normal previleges too, but will get restricted functionality...

I've been working on this for a while with no success. I know my
basic config is correct because I can use a analog modem on the same
port with no problem. ISDN jumps directly to PAP or CHAP depending on
what your ISP requires, so there is no ASCII login sequence so you
need to remove that from the chat script. I can't seem to get the pap
authentication correct. I do have a static address. I just found a
good reference from an ISP in England
http://www.camel.demon.co.uk/rh5demon.htm
It is a fairly detailed step by step helping you get everything
correct for PAP, unfortunately I have not had the chance to try it.
Currently I am using my diva t/a on an NT server, works fine, but
the capabilities of linux for firewall and masquerading, mail and
everything else I like more. I really want to get the ISDN running
there, 56kb is to slow.
Hope this helps, and if you found a solution I would appreciate
hearing it.

Subject: routing problem
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 1999 10:46:09 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have the following problem.
I have an linux machine working as an isdn router to ISP (Eunet). From
this machine I can reach internet just fine. The other machines on the
network can not reach the network. For example if I ping from a
machine in the network, the tcpdump -i ippp0 shows a echo request
going out but no reply coming back.
If I ping the network from the router machine nt.linuxware.fi
(193.49146.60) i get following tcpdump:
======
4:52:24.565021 lassie.eunet.fi > nt.linuxware.fi: icmp: echo reply
14:52:25.526370 nt.linuxware.fi > lassie.eunet.fi: icmp: echo request
14:52:25.574271 lassie.eunet.fi > nt.linuxware.fi: icmp: echo reply
14:52:26.526386 nt.linuxware.fi > lassie.eunet.fi: icmp: echo request
14:52:26.564270 lassie.eunet.fi > nt.linuxware.fi: icmp: echo reply
14:52:27.526409 nt.linuxware.fi > lassie.eunet.fi: icmp: echo request
======
So it works.
If I ping on another machine on the network (mascot.linuxware.fi,
193.94146.62) i get:
======
1414:54:05.855234 mascot.linuxware.fi > lassie.eunet.fi: icmp: echo
request
14:54:06.850847 mascot.linuxware.fi > lassie.eunet.fi: icmp: echo
request
14:54:07.850860 mascot.linuxware.fi > lassie.eunet.fi: icmp: echo
request
14:54:08.850875 mascot.linuxware.fi > lassie.eunet.fi: icmp: echo
request
14:54:09.850870 mascot.linuxware.fi > lassie.eunet.fi: icmp: echo
request
14:54:10.850886 mascot.linuxware.fi > lassie.eunet.fi: icmp: echo
request
14:54:11.850887 mascot.linuxware.fi > lassie.eunet.fi: icmp: echo
request
14:54:12.850925 mascot.linuxware.fi > lassie.eunet.fi: icmp: echo
request
14:54:13.850942 mascot.linuxware.fi > lassie.eunet.fi: icmp: echo
request
14:54:14.850946 mascot.linuxware.fi > lassie.eunet.fi: icmp: echo
request
======
So the router works and routes the message downstream but a downstream
router seems not to reply back.
Am I right saying that this problem seems to be at Eunet end?
What can cause the problem?
Any help highly appreciated.

I am an addmitted newbie to Linux, and would like to set up the
following network configuration in my house, if possible. NT server 4.0
running as PDC, file, print and web server(for offline development
only), for three client machines. RedHat 5.2 to allow the same 3 client
machines on demand dial-up access to ISP on one phone line, file, and
web server(again for offline development only). Client machines are 2
win95 boxes and 1 dualboot - win95 and RedHat 5.2. Setting up the NT
domain by itslef is a no-brainer, adding the Linux box is relatively
easy as well. I have the most questions about using the Linux box for
dial-up - I'm totally lost as to where I should start. Do the clients
have to use DHCP or can I issue then static IP's? Would I be better off
setting up one Linux box to handle dial-up and a second as a web
server? Are there any obvious blunders I can avoid? Any help in this
matter will be greatly appreciated.
