Standard procedure. Port 113 (ident) is a service that gives
the owner of another connection. For instance, when you log
into an ftp server it effectively asks your computer "who owns
the connection between your port 13217 and my port 21?"
The response it gets can be used for logging or even as a hint
at a default for the ftp login name.

Subject: pppd client to Attachmate RLN server

I've been trying to configure a pppd connection (v2.3.7) from a Linux
system to an Attachmate RLN server (v5). The RLN server will allow
standard (??) ppp connections along with thier own proprietary
protocol. I can, in fact, connect using ppp and dun on WinNT. My
Linux pppd setup cannot get past the LCP negotiation:

in your squid.conf file you have to add a line like

8080 is the proxy port of your isp�s proxy
3130 is the icp port, if you don`t know the icp port try 7
note: in my experience squid runs much faster if it communicates via the icp port with
its parent, so maybe you should ask your isp if your allowed to connect.

First off, why not use an industry standard? I know POP3 has it's
problems, but it's very well supported. If not POP3, use IMAP. Have the
clients poll the server for new mail (like any more client would do on a
LAN).

Use qmail or sendmail, perhaps the cyrus imap server and/or a decent POP3
server (like qpopper or cucipop).

I have two questions:
For my home:
I have a RedHat 5.2 installed. I have compiled my kernel with all
support for Ip masq, forwarding, firewalling ... (I haven't understand
what they all are) and I have tried to go to Internet from my NT4 behind
my Linux Box.
Of course I can't get out!! I can ping my Linux eth0 and also my ppp0
but can't ping anything outside.
I'm interested in using Ip masq and have heard of the Ipchains program.
Is that better than Ipfwadm?
For my job:
There is a way to permit or deny not only a workstation but olsa a user
to go through the firewall?
I have more than one private net with a Linux box as gateway to the
router.
I need a system that will let me grant access to the router from my
internal networks deciding on ip# and user of machine. All internal nets
are Win Nt or 98.
Thanks a lot

When trying to get Samba to work smbclient can be very usefull.
Now I've set up samba before, but never came across the following
message when starting smbclient:

load_client_codepage: filename /etc/codepages/codepage.850 does not

after that the normal output of smbclient appears.
Question:
What is this codepage, and could this error be why I can't see the samba

Don't know why you compiled in this if you don't know it is.

IPChains is the successor of ipfwadm. All your questions is answered in
the firewall-HOWTO. Read it.

I *think* that you need to add the pppd option "callback xxxxxxx" where
xxxxxxx is the number the peer is to call back. This is gleaned from
grepping the ppp source code - I've not actually done CBCP.

What does this have to do with admins?
ANY *nix admin will pick up Linux in hours; this is confirmed by
experiment. More to the point, the REAL cost of turnover in admins
is due to the customizations at each site, for which the support
organizations will quite properly take no responsibility.

Just for grins, call up Sun tech support and ask for help on a
Solaris system you picked up at a swap meet. Now call up
Redmond for tech support on an NT system you picked up at a
swap meet. (Be prepared to have the cops show up in the latter
case since M$ licences aren't transferrable.)

The problem with having choices is that you have to make them.
Anyone who doesn't want to set his own security policy, backup
policy, storage allocation, and so forth certainly COULD leave
that up to some sort of default that comes out of a can. Then
again, if Melissa taught us anything, it's that having lots and
lots of systems with default settings is not necessarily a Good
Thing.

If you want a dedicated connection... Get DSL or something. Idle timeouts
are used by ISP's to keep their user/modem ratio reasonable. For all the
idle time you are connected you are denying a legitamate user from accessing
the port you are connected on.
$19.95 unlimited access does no mean dedicated access. You can dial up and
connect as many times as you want.
Remember. Your $19.95 (or so) does not cover the montly cost of a single
dial up port of the ISP. That's why they use 10/1 ratios for dial up
ports. And $195.00 just barely covers the port costs with some ISP's.

In article <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] says...

Which howto's? Bus normally means the backplane/motherboard of your
computer. The data bus and the address bus are the traces on the
motherboard that connect the CPU to the ISA and PCI sockets so that the
CPU can access the peripheral devices. If the howto's call the lan cables
a bus, then that's probably poor terminology.

Don't know. Which howto was this in? I need more of a context.

These are the flavours:
10Base-5 : aka thicknet; uses coax; hard to find today
10Base-2 : aka thinnet; uses coax with tee's; still in use; not
recommended for new installations
10Base-T : aka Ethernet (though they are all Ethernet); this uses CAT5 4-
pair unshielded twisted pair cable and RJ45 plugs and jacks; this cabling
is today's standard and as long as its CAT5, can be used with 100Base-T;
requires a hub/switch for more than two computers
100Base-T : aka FastEthernet; same as 10Base-T but faster and needs
different hubs and switches but can use same CAT5 cable

Close. You can buy a single speed hub or you can buy a "dual-speed" hub.
The dual-speed hub is actually a lot like a two-port switch. A hub is
basically passive... its just a device for interconnection of computers
in a star-topology. A switch is intelligent, and inspects the packet for
its MAC address and routes it (in the MAC-sense) to the correct port.

100Base-T is 10 times faster than 10Base-T. But the 100 and the 10 are
the nominal speeds. The theoretical maximum is around 1/3 of these
numbers. And, yes, computer speed and harddrive speed can matter.
Wouldn't worry about it, though, unless you are setting up workgroup
servers.

32bit card == PCI
16bit card == ISA
You can find FastEthernet ISA cards (3Com makes one). But in general,
FastEthernet cards are only available for PCI and Ethernet cards are
available for both.

This set up requires you to have valid ip addresses for all the
computers. It has the disadvantage that there is no firewall.

This setup is preferable. When you get onto the Internet 24x7, you'll
find that your computers are probed constantly. Therefore, a firewall is,
IMHO, absolutely necessary. You don't have to do masquerading unless you
don't want to pay your ISP for more ip addresses. Check out
http://www.linuxrouter.org and http://egde.fireplug.net for "boot-from-
floopy" linux distributions geared towards home user firewalls.

Well, this is a really stupid answer in the form of a
question, but ...
Have you verified that linux is seeing the NIC that
came with the Cisco 675?
My phone company (US West) gave me a 3c509b (3Com).
To use it, I had to use the 3c5x9cfg program that
came with the card to disable PnP and set up an
I/O address and IRQ for the card to use.
Then in my /etc/conf.modules file I had to add
the line "alias eth0 3c509".
Even if they sent you a different brand NIC, odds
are that you need to disable to PnP or I guess
you can use isapnp, etc (I have no experience with
this approach, my Linux box has no PnP-enabled
devices in it).
After setting up the NIC, and the dhcp client,
it worked fine.
