It's usually a good idea not to put cards into a machine if you know they
won't be used; they can only generate heat at best and cause conflicts at
worst.

You'd have better luck letting the Linux box connect the NT box to the
Internet than vice versa! But let's continue....
>Do I have to set up any IP addresses?
Yes. Use "non-routing" addresses from the pool 192.168.0.x where x is from
1 to 254. Create an /etc/hosts file on the Linux box and a <winntdir>\HOSTS
file on the NT box; each of them should contain the same info:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.1 amir
192.168.0.2 pc404hp
> The name of my Linux machine is amir

I took that into account above.

Probably because that's in the default /etc/hosts you set up when you
configured Linux. It's promising, though.
>How do I set up the eth0 or ne interface and how do I assign an IP address
>to it?
If your kernel is recognizing it, just try using it. I've never done
anything special with mine; it just WORKED. (But then, I assigned my Linux
box's IP address at setup.) Try reading "man ifconfig". If you can't ping
your NT box after you've set up the hosts file and rebooted, then come back
and we'll dig into the gory details of netconfig. (Be sure that the NT box
knows ITS OWN IP address -- you have to set that in Control Panel.) You
should be able to telnet from the NT box into the Linux box (as a regular
user, not as root). Once you can do that it should be quite simple to make
the NT box the default gateway for the Linux box and configure the NT side
of things.
To make the Linux box use the NT box as its connection to the Internet,
you'd just run this one line (as a RedHat user, I'd add it to the end of
/etc/rc.d/rc.local):
route add default gw pc404hp
Then you have to configure some stuff on the NT side that I have no real
interest in discussing in a Linux group.
> Will I have to use Samba?
It has nothing to do with dialing out or sharing your network connection.
It's about sharing disks and printers over the LAN (Local Area Network).
Read the /etc/smb.conf file -- it's full of comments and you can probably
have your Linux box on the NT Network Neighborhood in fifteen minutes if you
want to.

Heck, I just use the machine to run Oracle, AOLServer (which
knows how to talk to oracle), and IP Masq over a DSL line.
Even twm's overkill! Sometimes I just use multiple
telnet sessions from my Win machine (the linux machine
doesn't even have a keyboard or monitor - it's a bit
engine, doesn't need them!)
I use twm for the same reason most folks who use lots of
different Unixes sometimes use old tools they're familiar
with: like vi, twm is on just about any X system you run
across. So I can copy init files to a new box and rely
on a familiar environment to show up on my screen with no
hassles. Since I'm paid to write code, not to customize
my desktop, this is a virtue in my world.

It was almost certainly a spammer looking for an open relay.
Without getting into a full-blown discussion of spamfighting
here (the appropriate forum is news.admin.net-abuse.email) the
chances are that the admin of the site was in cahoots with
the spammer.
Anyone interested in spamfighting (a wonderful hobby for those

We've been having fits getting the IPmasq setup here working right
and part of it was that Primenet software 'smelled' something fishy
and took a poke at 113 to see what was up. If they didn't get an
answer they liked the hose stopped IMMEDIATELY. Error or deny
was *not* one of the correct answers; after some trial and error
it turns out that the only one they like is our login as userid
(which of course isn't the userid that we use on the home network,
but midentd lets us give them the answer they want.)

Maybe I've read the report wrong but the physical layout picture did
look as if each of the server's NICs was connected directly to its own
network with 1/4 of the clients on each. If this is the case then if
Linux was not using all of the NICs then some or most of the clients
would not be served at all.
Whether the NT trick of binding one processor to each NIC is
representative or not I don't know. It would need a reliably symetric load
(such as a benchmark like this) to be worthwhile I'd have thought. You
may as well have got 4 Linux boxes at a fraction of the price. Don't
you have to buy 4 NT licences on a 4 processor box? (Or is it to do with
how many clients you have?)

Thanks for the replies. It turns out that I was not explicity giving
permission to any client. i.e., in my exports file I had:
/whatever (rw)
expecting that it would allow rw access to anyone, but in reality I have to
have a machine / network specifier. Although the man page and faq's never say

I haven't used it yet myself, but plan to once I have
ppp-2.3.7 up and running.
The pty feature substitutes for pty-redir,
eliminating the need to use pty-redir.
It arranges pppd to communicate through a
tty oriented application program,
in place of the usual communications with a RS-232 interface and modem.
This application program can, in turn, establish another
communication session of some sort for carrying PPP.

"pty script" becomes the equivalent of
what is normally the serial device, such as "/dev/ttyS0".
If the pty script happens to be /bin/sh, for example,
your chat script would consist of shell commands, rather than modem
commands.
> How do I assign IP addresses(they can be static)?
The IP address assignment methods available for
regular RS-232/modem also apply to tunnelled connections.
You can use static addresses since you appear to have admin control over
both PPP endpoints. A straight forward setup is to have each end-point
establish it's own local PPP IP address.
The IP addresses you choose to needs to be compatible with your existing
network topology.

Yes, in theory.
There may be rsh complications with UNIX terminal devices at the far end,
but the "notty" option with ppp-2.3.7 that you run at the far end
should take care of that.

There used to be more information about pppd, ssh, and pty-redir,
posted as a sample chapter from O'Reilly's "Virtual Private Networks" book.
That sample may have been revoked, since I can't seem to find it any more.
Also, you may want to look at the comments in the ptysh program:
ftp://ftp.ora.com/published/oreilly/nutshell/umppp
This short program is useful with earlier versions of pppd,
and is no longer necessary with ppp-2.3.7.

Subject: mgetty + pppd
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: 18 Apr 99 20:33:36 GMT
I'm trying to get my primary system to allow dial-up connections
(plus fax, etc.) using mgetty. I've encountered 3 problems:
1) I got the impression that even though mgetty was running, I
could still use the modem for some other process (i.e., to
dial out to my ISP). That doesn't seem to be the case. If
mgetty is running, the pppd just sits there waiting. (I didn't
see any lock files in /var/lock.)
2) On another machine, I can dial in and mgetty will answer the
line, and do login (based on the user id and password in my
chat script on the dial-in machine). In fact, a shell is
even started (?!). But no ppp configuration takes place.
How is this supposed to happen. I tried to assign a static IP
to the dialin machine on the pppd command line
"192.168.0.131:192.168.0.5" where 131 is for the dialin machine
and 5 is for the hosting machine. I couldn't find any examples
of the syntax, so I just kinda chucked it in as an argument to
pppd.
3. I tried to do a "shell login" with minicom, but after giving
a user id and password to the login/password prompts, nothing
happens, and the line disconnects.
I've read all the man pages and info file on mgetty and pppd
(not exactly recreational reading!) but the lack of examples
makes it pretty hard to make progress.

I'm trying to setup a Linux Server on an Old 486 to provide a Internet
connection to all my Computer on my network. . I got it Samba up and working
and I can see all my computers on the network. I also Got my Linux box to
dial out and connect to my ISP. I wanted to know what do I have to do to
make my Win98 machines use the Linux server to provide Internet access. Do I
need to set up IP routing? Any info will be help full.
Thanks
Aladdin

Hi All,
Heres what I have:
A Packard Bell 486 SX2 50 Mhz (I know I know) running Win 3.11 and a
P133 running Win98 that I built. Not too shabby for a poor college
student!!! Both have RedHat 5.2 installed. I am wondering what would be
the best way to network them and using what OS? I would like to
incorporate at least one computer as a Linux Workstation and or Linux
Server. Also need to know what kind of cheap NICs will be compatible
both in Win 3.11 or 98 and Linux and whether I should run em through a
bridge or just pier to pier. I can do the cabling myself so thats not a
concern. Thanks on any guidance provided......!
Humbly Curious!!!

A good source of information is the How-to's associated with the Linux
Documentation Project. Look at www.redhat.com and go to documentation and it
will be under their. I am sure that one of the How-to's there has the
connectivity question in it (either ethernet or networking, i think).
