Subject: Restricting Internet Mail
Date: Wed, 21 Apr 1999 11:57:04 -0700
This is just a simple theoretical question. Can I restrict access as to
who can send & receive internet mail from an internal linux mail server?
i.e. I have 70 people on my network, of them only 30 need access to
internet email. All of them need access to local internal email. I want
to make it so the 40 people that don't need it aren't able to send or
receive internet email, while the others can and still allowing everyone
to check local mail.
Is this possible? If so, how might this be done?

Subject: Multi Linux 5.2 + 1 M$ Win 95 Lan
I have 3 Linux 5.2 boxes which consist of:
1 x server (STARFLEET_HQ) which runs samba and is a Win95 Domain
login box.
1 x server (PCLAPA) which runs samba, and controls access to a HP
OfficeJet for the domain (STARFLEET)
1 x server (Laptop_1) which is a mobile linux box, which I use both
at home and at Uni, with switched configurations.
1 x w/s (STARBASE_1) which is the M$ Win95 box. I would like to know if
it is possible for each of these machines to work together in a single
domain. I want to be able to rsh into each of the linux boxes from the
server and run remote progs (in parallel) for a Uni assignment, but when
I try all I get is Permission Denied. Each machine has the sames users:
root, scott each user has the same password.
Please help.
Yours

8388608 bytes received in 7.42 secs (1.1e+03 Kbytes/sec)
ftp>
Note that the first transfer was *to disk* and the second and third
was to /dev/null. The sender is running Linux 2.0.36 (Debian 2.1) and
the receiver is running Linux 2.2.3 (Red Hat Linux 5.9). Both
machines are Intel P100, receiver has 64Mb, sender has 16Mb.
Much more reliable estimates of TCP bandwidth are obtained with
"ttcp", the TCP bandwidth estimation tool. I don't have it to hand.
It's almost always faster, because FTP involves two sets of FS
overhead (sending and receiving) and this distorts the results.
I expect that the LAN/WAN distinction makes a great deal of
difference. For fast transfers over a WAN, you need the TCP
"Long-Fat-Pipe" extensions, which IIRC Linux has. I'd be surprised if
NT doesn't have them too, though.

We currently have a number of client systems running NT. These systems
need to be able to receive (MPEG) files, via a WAN, at very high rates.
These systems are unable to receive at rates above ~ 2Mbits/second. Our
NT expert [it's a love/hate relationship :-)] says that this is due
to protocol stack limitations. The machines are all Pentium, > 200 MHz,
10BaseT.
I currently have a proposal on the table, which is to replace these
NT (P)OS * boxes with Linux. Our feelings is that Linux should
beat the living daylights out of NT (P)OS in the above regard.
But we have no hard numbers ...

Is the Linux TCP/IP stack more robust then NT? Certainly, even MS (sort of)
admits that.
Is the NT TCP IP limited to 2Mbit? *LOL* Don't make me laugh, NT has
sucesscully been used in Gigabit experiments, so tell your SA's to get their
heads in gear and fix your network bottlenecks.

You likely need to upgrade to tcpdump 3.4 . At least that was the case
for me with "tcpdump -i ppp0" and socket type 0xc.

They are ISA. I've tried isapnp on them and it says they are already

The NE2000 PCI driver included with RedHat 5.2 will work, as the RTL8029
and NE2000 are based on the same National Semiconductor design.
You can obtain the latest drivers by upgrading your kernel to 2.2.x, or
download the driver itself from

hope this helps

Greetings,
I have a win95 box with a Kingston KNE40 and a Linux box with an SMC
Ultra ISA card. Everything on the linux machine looks good w/regard to
the NIC. I can assign it an IP address etc. But I cant ping a Win95
box, or vise-versa. I have the two connected via a crossover cable.
The Link lights are on steady on both machines. I have been fighting
with this for a week and can't figure it out. Any ideas as to what I'm
missing? Reply direct if you would.
Brian

It is an undecidable proposition as to whether or not there are internet
locator servers for Linux with cardinality between that of N and 2^N.
Seriously, what do you mean by 'internet locator'?

I found _my_ problem. Not sure if it will anyone else though. In my zone file
/var/named/pz/wec (my office), I had used
localhost A 127.0.0.1
ejs A 127.0.0.1
ejs2 A 127.0.0.1
...
I'm not sure what I was smoking when I did this. Anyway, changing the address
to the correct values fixed everything. Wow, it's all automagic now.
