I have to agree. My home NT Server hasn't been rebooted for over 2 years and
it runs as a file/print server as well as a proxy server. I also have
installed many NT computers for E911 services and haven't had OS-related
downtime in those for those time periods as well. Of course, I only use
quality hardware and dont 'mess with the setups' afterward either. On the
other hand, my NT Workstation computer I'm typing on now has problems
locking-up sometimes (once a month maybe?) but I'm attributing that to all
the software I test (play with) and develop on the machine.
Just my observations...

Subject: ping,ftp into machine ok; cannot TELNET ???
Date: 29 Apr 1999 15:06:07 GMT
Now that my ethernet card is working, I need to be able to telnet
into this Linux box (Debian/slink). Everything seems to work
except that I cannot telnet into this box. All the configuration
files that I've thought to examine in /etc appear to be comparable
to another box that I've got. I can even ftp into this box. Still,
no telnet.
When I try to telnet, there is an initial acknowlegement:
Connected to {machine name}
then a second later:
Connection closed by foreign host.
Nothing appears botched in /etc/services nor /etc/inetd.conf .
At least it's consistent with another machine, that does accept
telnets. And the machine that I'm using to originate the telnet
request successfully telnets into other machines.
Please, can anyone suggest where I might look to find why telnet
requests aren't accepted?
TIA!

Don't miss the chance to participate in a live web broadcast on how
to quickly build and deploy real-time distributed systems.
Messaging middleware has become a de-facto standard as the
underlying infrastructure for integrating both customized and
packaged applications requiring real-time response. This live
broadcast is aimed at those involved in building revenue-critical
applications requiring 24x7 operation. Examples of such applications
include:
- Financial trading, straight-through processing
- Network management, call centers
- E-Commerce
- Command and control, integration and test
- Traffic control
- Systems management
- Just-in-time manufacturing
- Retail P.O.S.
The two most dominant messaging paradigms are queuing and
publish-subscribe. In this session, I will describe how
publish-subscribe can be combined with message queuing to provide
organizations a high-speed, reliable software backbone for achieving
a zero-latency enterprise.
Join me, Tom Laffey, Talarian founder and CTO live from our Worldwide
Headquarters for my educational session and interactive discussion on:
Queuing and Publish-Subscribe: How the Twain Shall Meet

As part of our discussion, I will also be announcing an exciting new
product, MQexpress. MQexpress allows a developer to combine the
transactional integrity, store-and-forward capabilities of queuing
with the real-time performance and scalability of publish-subscribe.
MQexpress also interoperates seamlessly with IBM's MQSeries product,
allowing messages to be put and retrieved directly from MQSeries
queues.

requiring real-time performance and high reliability

OK there, master of darkness (LOL):
First off, issue these ipfwadm commands -- you might want to put them in
your /etc/rc.d/rc.local so that they get run at boot time as well:
ipfwadm -F -f
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.3.0/24 -D0/0
and make sure that your windows machines have the linux box as their
gateway.

Subject: Win98 Telenet Problem
Date: Thu, 29 Apr 1999 12:12:13 -0400
I am having this weird problem and couldn't find an answer to it.
A win98 machine in a small network (1 linux, 2 win95 and 1 win98)
couldn't not telnet into the linux server, unless one of the win95
machines were on at the same time. Otherwise, telnet would just hang
there.
The linux server is running RedHat 5.2 and serves as a file server
(Samba) and a gateway/firewall to Internet (ip masquerading). All the
machines have their own private ip numbers.
I don't think win98 telnet client is bad (or could be??) since it will
connect to the server if a win95 box is on.
By the way, I have no telnet problems with the two win95 machines.
Any clues? Thanks.

I got a 4 port nic/hub and was wondering if anyone could tell me how its
supposed to work. Or point me to a good site on dealing with one of these
types of cards.
Right now it shows up as eth0. But to activate the other three ports do I
just set it up as 4 seperate interfaces(eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3), or do I
just use ip aliasing(eth0:1, eth0:2, etc)? Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

That's the beauty of multiuser, remote admin systems, you
don't have to teach the drones anything. Just create a
reference desktop and clone it.
Furthermore, there is nothing inherent to the Office+Outlook
combination that is any more 'homogeneous' than any other
standard office enviroment regardless of platform.
It makes you subseptable to the Melissa virus and able to
deal with Office<thisyear> files and that's about it.

Have you looked at Applix, StarOffice and Corel WorkPerfect. Soon Corel

Using Samba there's no reason why linux can't be your file and print

Years ago there used to be a "Useless use of cat"-of-the-week award
in the comp.os.unix group. I don't know if it still exists.
It was awarded to that week's person who posted some shell script (usually
to have it debugged by newsgroup readers) that contained things
like:
cat filename | sed -e "s/x/y"
But also "cat |", of course.

Don't people read others' USENET posts any more? (You spelled "any" wrong,
by the way.) If you would have read my other posts, you would have seen
that 1) I am printing from a Windows machine, and 2) I was able to get the
"raw" printer device configured via Samba like I wanted. The problem still
remains that lpr is not even printing anything at all, even though the
daemon process is running*.

NO. This 'must run Microsoft apps' gibberish is as much a
problem for Windows users as it is for a Linux advocate.
Even on Windows there's more than just Exchange or Office.
The assertion that some arbitrary office should be limited
to either should never go unchallenged.

That's what I'm trying to do. The host hp200.ipair.com is CNAMEd to
www.ipair.com, and then port 7070 of the www.ipair.com machine is redirected
(using redir) to port 80 of 192.168.1.80, a machine on the LAN. So currently
people have to specify http://hp200.ipair.com:7070/ to get to the web server
on that machine on the LAN. Now, ideally I'd like to CNAME web.ipair.com to
www.ipair.com and then use a VirtualHost with ProxyPass to proxy
hp200.ipair.com:7070 so people can access the site by going to
http://web.ipair.com. Here's the VirtualHost section I have right now:
<VirtualHost web.ipair.com>
ServerName web.ipair.com
ProxyPass / http://hp200.ipair.com:7070/
</VirtualHost>
That works mostly-- the text gets proxied over. But the test image I placed

I tried mod_rewrite (in fact, I'm using that on another site, to offer
specific pages without graphics for text-based web browsers) but it doesn't
work for redirecting to a local LAN host. I tried:
<VirtualHost web.ipair.com>
ServerName web.ipair.com
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/index\.html http://xxx.xxx.x.xx:80 [L]
RewriteRule ^/ http://xxx.xxx.x.xx/ [L]
</VirtualHost>
But it tries to redirect client-side, same as just doing:
Redirect / http://xxx.xxx.x.xx/
Which makes the web browser look for a host called 192.168.1.80, and obviously
it won't be able to find it because it's on my LAN.

It certainly seems fast enough on my K6-2/233 system, but since I'm only
rewriting two pages it probably doesn't make much difference. :)

Why not ask the Chinese ? They seem to be interested in that sort of
thing...
(sorry... ;^) - just had to comment...)

ohhhh! I had checked for /usr/sbin/tcpd, but had not checked for
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd, which is missing in the affected system.
(It's present in the working system).

These seem ok. This part has either moved to a different Debian package,
or the package is bunged. I'll pursue this on debian...
Many thanks, Jason!
