One problem you forgot:  in a multi-use server environment, it's
bloody well impossible to remember which application(s) went with
which machine.  Did that Sybase app run on rt56usaz?  Or was it
rt58usax?  Even if you see the machines every day, it's easy to
mistype or misremember a character.  Pretty soon you're rebooting
qw34sft4 when you *told* the users of qw43sfr4 to expect an outage.

Putting an application code in the naming scheme doesn't help in such
environments, because multiple applications share machines, and apps
are always coming and going, while the underlying server pretty much
remains the same.

I agree that "funny" names can be taken too far, to the point of
unprofessional and perhaps even offensive.  (I liked the "problems
with toytown" story.)

I am a big advocate of letting sysadmins name the machines whatever
they like, perhaps within naming schemes.  All "sandbox" machines, for
example, might be named after sea creatures.  octopus, manatee,
nautilus.  (That last is my former workstation, because it fits the
name scheme and is also a naval *and* SF reference.)

It's pretty hard to log in to "homer" mistakenly, when you were
thinking about the fact that you have work to do on "marge."  And it's
easy, once you've been there for a week or so, to remember that it's
the sea creatures that are sandbox machines, the Simpsons characters
that are Oracle servers, US states for file servers, etc., etc.

I have seen a lot of "mechanical" naming schemes, and while they make
a kind of sense on paper, I haven't seen one yet that even had a
positive benefit for the enterprise, much less one that was actually
worth the trouble to implement.

I think the "compromise" your organization reached in assigning names
mechanically, along with a human-friendly name, was the worst of both
worlds.  Now, in addition to everything else, you have a coordination
problem with keeping the names aligned.  Also, the chance of
miscommunication.  "The MOTD said that q69y5tz was going to be out
of service today.  I don't have to worry about that -- my application
runs on xerxes."  Of course, this user is about to learn the danger
of aliases.

You want proof that it's easier to keep track of "friendly" machine
names?  Take this quiz (no fair looking back in the post):

1. Which machine got rebooted by mistake?

a. qw43sft4
b. rt43usaz
c. qw34sft4
d. rt56usaz

2. Which machine is a 'sandbox' machine where I work?

a. vader
b. luthor
c. nautilus
d. camaro

I rest my case.

If you have the cable compagny assigning a whole range of numbers rather
then just one ip nr, you can use any number in this range.

This however, is probably not the case.
The best thing to do is probably to install a small lan with its own nic
in your linux box. Install bind and squid and ip masquerading.
Assign private net nrs to your lan.

You guessed wrong. There are lots of networking features wich Linux has
and M$ doesn't. Have a look at PPP and PLIP.

: 10. The Linux server is on the same subnet as the IP addresses
: assigned to the dial in user.

According to the /etc/ppp/options.ttyS0 file you are assigning the
dial-in the IP address 192.168.140.12 and the Linux box the IP address
192.168.140.3 which are IPs for a reserved network.  How then does the
linux box access the internet?  In the absence of NAT or firewalling
the ethernet LAN to which the Linux box is attached and which provides
internet access must use a block of public (non-reserved) IP addresses.
For proxyarp to work the dial-in must also be assigned an IP address
from this block of IP addresses.

Yes, a Linux box dialing in would need the defaultroute option but
proxyarp is correct for a box that must provide access to machines on
the LAN and beyond to the dial-in.  Either proxyarp, or gated or routed
running on that box.

If the IP address for the Linux box and dial-in box belong to the
same LAN, with a gateway somewhere on the LAN, then it should work
with proxyarp.  Whatever the dial-in boxes send through the wire will
get correctly routed and the responses correctly routed back through
the wire to the dial-in boxes.  The Linux box itself also needs a default
route to the LAN gateway machine.

: Also, I'm wondering if I need to somehow bind the ppp connections to
: the ethernet connection the server uses.

The "binding" is done by using the Linux box's ethernet LAN IP for it's
side of the PPP connection and providing the dial-in with an IP address
belonging to the same LAN.

It sounds like pppd is configured to use the localhost IP as the IP for
the ISP on your side of the PPP connection.  I'd suspect RH of configuring
pppd this way, and some ISPs will allow you specify an IP to use for it
on your side.

Does "route -n" during the PPP connection show 127.0.0.1 as a host on
the PPP interface?  Then there should be a pppd option <127.0.0.1:> or
<localhost:> or similar.  Replace it with  <192.168.0.1:> which asks the
ISP to allow you to use 192.168.0.1 for it's address on your side of
the connection.  Assuming that this IP doesn't belong to a machine on
a local private network to which your box is attached.

It is in fact /etc/modules.
/etc/conf.modules takes care of dependencies.
On a RH box you probably need to set an option in /etc/conf.modules.

Do you have IP forwarding compiled into KAISER?  Are you using proxyarp

Ok, I am no expert and have jumped thru many hoops
to get my system anywhere near what I would like.
Still I seen to think that the loopback device is
a dummy device and suspect that your hosts file
may need to be as below. Otherwise I think your
system will believe localhost is just an alias
for your network card.

 127.0.0.1  localhost
 191.1.1.4       linuxserver.powersb.po.my

 hope this helps,

You have to change the syntax you're using. It doesn't map one to one.

For example, whenever you use the keyword deny or reject, you have to
capitalize it for ipchains.

And ipchains switched the order of arguments. For example, your second
ipfwadm command below would look like this:

ipchains -A foward -s 192.168.1.1/32 -d 0.0.0.0/0

Note that parameters that used to be upper case are now lower case.

Try looking at the man pages, you'll see these differences...

A few choices:
Run SAMBA -- best option, since the Windows clients can use this
natively.  It's running for me without any problems.  However, my
network is tiny (8 clients) so I have not stressed it out.

Mars-NWE -- a netware emulator with the Caldera (??) distribution.  I
have not used this personally besides a one-time install to see if it
would work (it does, but I had a little difficulty getting my standard
DOS based clients to see it).

NFS -- I use this between Linux machines but have not configured Windows
to view these.
