Subject: Newbie... DNS question
Date: Sat, 01 May 1999 18:06:26 -0700
Hello,
Well, I've read several books as well as the famous "DNS-HOTO" and I
still can't get my secondary/slave DNS server to download db.* files it
needs from the master DNS server. Everything is on an isolated network
and the I've got the master working great. In fact, the slave works
great to except for one minor irritation... when I start named up on my
slave everything seems okay until I get a "Permission denied" statement
in regards to downloading my 2 db.* files.
Thanks in advance for any helpful tips on this matter.
BTW, my master computer is using named 8.x and my slave or really
secondary is using named 4.9.x. I used the h2n perl script to create all
my DNS files. And yes, I created one set with the -v 8 argument for bind
8* and -v 4 for bind 4*.

How about:
#!/bin/sh
kill -9 `ps'' aux | grep ^$1 | awk '{print $2}'`
Very effective... I just whipped it up to try on user 'nobody' (as a user, of
course), but forgot the argument... it killed all of my processes. :-(
So to protect yourself, you might want to do this instead:
#!/bin/sh
if [ "$1" = "" ]; then
echo "you must supply username(s) to log off"
else
while [ "$1" != "" ]; do
echo -n "killing $1's processes... "
kill -9 `ps'' aux | grep ^$1 | awk '{print $2}'`
echo "done."
shift
done
fi
This way you can throw a bunch of users into your 'kill script'.
Have fun,

Subject: DHCP + IP forwarding ?
Date: Sat, 1 May 1999 16:00:04 -0600
It's a long story, please bear with me.
I have a small network of my own, 204.x.x.x, that routes to the internet.
I want to create a private class C (192.168.42.0) that will get DHCP
addresses from a linux box, and forward their network traffic through it
using IP forwarding and masquerading.
I've got 3/4th of it done. The adapter is IP aliased for both networks and
they can talk between each other. If one of the 192 addresses is mapped
statically, it can talk to the 'net fine (it seems to come from my Linux
box, but that's to be expected).
I can't get a DHCP address to save my life on the 192 network now that I've
turned on some IP firewalling policies (particularly, everything from the
192 network is passed on). Since Win98 requires the 255.255.255.255 route
to be defined on the DHCP server, I think that's what's breaking.
Any ideas how I can get all of the pieces in?
Regards,
Jim

True. The reason I replied to yourself was that the exact same or a
very similar post was made before regarding this subject, and I thought
that the problem then had been the -i and -j arguments being the wrong
way around which in turn was causing the rather ambiguous "chain not

syntax you showed to prove that it doesn't work, I only know that the

I am a newcomer to Linux and have the following problem.
I have just installed SuSE 6 on my PC, and have managed to successfully

addresses i.e.
www.demon.net I get a return of 120+ Ms from linux but only 40 to 50 Ms
from
Winblows 98!!.
I am connecting to the same phone number in both OS's and have tried
others.
I cannot see WHY my connection is slower under Linux when both OS's
report a connection speed of 64000k with a com port setting of 115200
set serial to vhi.
I have an External Hayes Accurra ISDN TA which is configured as a modem
and a 16550A serial port. Settings are COM1/ttyS0 irq 4 address 3f8 in
both w98 and linux.

Does that mean that if I run a caching nameserver on one machine, that
all other machines on that lan will seek DNS from that one machine...
(presuming that it's listed in those other machines' resolv.conf)
But then, can it provide only cached names/ips or where do you put
others (authoritative), in the /etc/hosts file of the machine doing
caching nameservices?

Hello-
I've recently dug up the following: a 16-bit full-length ISA card,
obviously a NIC. It looks very much like the 3c505, having the same
intel 82586 amd 80186 chips on-board, but the driver doesn't work with
it. There's "TRW" silkscreened in big capitals in the middle, and along
a side a mark: ASSY 03-00269-03 Rev.J It has an AUI external connector,
a bank of jumpers for IRQ selection (any one between 3 and 14, excluding
8), and one more jumper w/o any markings near the ISA slot. No jumpers
for I/O address, no socket for boot ROM.
I've searched the net in vain for some info&drivers. Any help will be
highly appreciated.

Some versions of smbmount have proven to be incompatible with some

Yes! It�s fast and very stable. I have it running for some time now.
But it is no full replacement because it emulates NW on the protocol

I read this to mean you have your bind 8 server (your primary)

files??? I seem to recall that ISC says on their site that Bind 4
doesn't work well at all as a secondary and they recommend you run
either servers as both 8 or both 4. Unfortunately, ISC.ORG is
unreachable at the time I write this so I cannot confirm this with
facts as to one way or the other. Do you have your bind 8 zone files
configured with your bind 4 server as the secondary delegation for the
zones in question?

Yes, you *could* do it like that, but you don't have to.
On the software side, check out Samba (http://www.samba.org/)
It provides server support for the SMB protocol which is the core
of the "Microsoft Networks" and LanManager/LanServer protocols
that Microsoft provides for Windows95/98/NT filesharing. The latest
Samba can support most (if not all) the functions of an NT PDC, including
user validation (WORKGROUP or DOMAIN logins), file share serving, and print
serving.
NIS and NFS are well supported in the Unix world, but support in the
Microsoft Windows world will cost you. Samba is available for free (GPL),
and is supported in both the Unix and Windows worlds.

You guys were right. There is a CD that contains the necessary program.
Unfortunately, the company that sold us our Compaqs did not setup this feature.
Instead, they loaded WinNT without first loading the Compaq configuration
programs. Consequently, in order to load the Compaq programs that allowed
changing the IRQ settings, I had to repartition the entire hard disk. I did take
a certain pleasure to blowing NT away. However, as the "administrator" of an NT
network, having NT is a must so I had to spend several hours restoring NT and
restoring all the programs that I had on NT.
In any case, I put on the Compaq CD (its called SmartStart) and got the "secret
hand-shake" that allows you to invoke those routines (blinking white cursor at the
upper right hand corner of the screen during boot) and I was in. 30 seconds
later, my problem was solved.
Thanks!
