Did you have ppp working with your previous kernel? What this looks like
is you added the pap pppd option, which asks the server to authenticate
itself to you (which most servers won't do).

Lew,
So, I should then just focus on Samba, and when that's fully grokked and
implemented, I can see if I need anything else for security and validation.
Nu?
Thanks for the pointer. :)

Subject: multihomed box trouble
Date: 2 May 1999 13:19:04 GMT
I'm having a tad bit of trouble with a linux box I have multi home wiht IP
aliases with kernel 2.2.x. I'm using nettools 1.52 (latest).
I run the following commands..
ifconfig eth0 205.179.1.101 broadcast 205.179.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig eth0:0 207.113.220.32 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 207.113.220.255 up
ifconfig eth0:1 205.179.26.120 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 205.179.26.255 up
route add default gw 205.179.1.252 netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1
from what I've read in the Docs for the kernel I don't have to define the
route for eth0:0 and eth0:1 if I define broadcast and netmask with
ifconfig..
I can't connect (icmp,traceroute,telnet) to it every now and then.. I have
a squid proxy runnig on it and the problem is really noticible when I use
netscape. I have to click relead 3 or 4 times before it connects..
I don't have any type of firewall or router options turn on in the
kernel.. Any ideas??..

I also run RedHat 5.2, kernel 2.2.4, 3c575 ethernet card, pcmcia-cs 3.0.9,
dhcpcd 0.70-2 out of the box. I am using a Linux server running dhcp 2.0b1pl6-2
also out of the box.
With this setup, I get the 'cannot assign requested address' and on the server
side running dhcpd interactively, I don't see any requests for an ip address.
The same laptop with the same card works fine with dhcp under win95.
What I had to do was find the latest dhcpcd (1.3.14-pl5) which I found here:
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/network/daemons/!INDEX.html
After untar-ing, make & make install, the laptop will now actually request an
address from the server. For some reason, I have to execute this (which I found
in the dhcp-HOWTO) on the server to get it to send an address back:
route add -host 255.255.255.255 dev eth0
I hope this helps.

Apache uses the term "Virtual host" for this function. I don't know
how you missed it when you checked the documentation before posting, it
seems to be clearly signposted from the main documentation page
http://www.apache.org/docs/ ->
http://www.apache.org/docs/vhosts/index.html

Apache does not limit the use of this term to the name-based kind
of virtual host.
> or does it have its own set of config files and sendmail,
This isn't an either/or question. Both name-based and address-based
("IP-based") virtual servers need configuration data.
Apache _can_ read separate config files for each virtual server,
but they'd all be called out from the standard config files that
the server reads at startup.

Well, you might try using the correct device file, probably /dev/ttyS2 .

I want to set up a number of ip aliases on a server. I understand the
use of ifconfig and route. However, I cannot get linux to assign the
correct subnet mask at boot, in fact I get errors. I am using Red Hat
5.2. I used the utilities in XWindows to set the aliases.
One of the problems I have is that there are so many initialization
scripts, the I cannot find the script that initializes the aliases!
Can anyone help me?

IIRC, The first bit sed 's/^$1 *//' -
s/ means "substitute using "/" as a separator"
^$1 means "Occurrences of [argument $1] that are at the start of a line"
* means "Any number of spaces"
// means "with nothing"
So the whole bit means
Substitute occurrences of argument 1 at the start of a line followed by
any number of spaces with nothing
So that
username ......process info.....
becomes just
......process info.....
The second sed command replaces anything that has any number of any
character occuring after a space, so if the output from ps was
username pid blah blah blah
The first bit would strip username leaving
pid blah blah blah
and the second sed command would strip the blah blah blah leaving just
pid
Which is what you needed. 8-)

Sounds right. 115200 is the hi end of current serial ports. To get any
faster you usually have to get a high performance card.

Do an ftp from your ISP's server. That's probably as fast as it's gonna
get.

No, use 115200 in the ppp script. It needs to know the speed to use. I
think it defaults to 9600 otherwise.

When I installed linux on a Gateway 486 with 3c509b, I didn't have any
problem, but the installation disks warned that 3c509b may not get
autodetected properly (Debian linux) and suggested that if I had problems, to
recompile the kernel with explicitly indicating a 3c509b, and not to
autoprobe/autodetect. Is that what you did when you say you redid the

I don't think that's what he meant. That'll keep the from logging back
on using telnet and/or a local terminal. But according to the man page
for passwd(5) it won't stop anyone from using rlogin. There's another
issue, too, see the "notes".

The RTL8029 is supported by the PCI NE2000 driver and, to a lesser
extent by the ISA NE2000 driver.
Both of these are in the standard Kernel.

hi steve,
first of, i can only give you some clues since you didn't give much info.
check the netmasks to see if the ip nr of one box isn't masked for the
other.
i'm presuming here you ping ip-nr and not names, coz that wouldn't work any
way.
you need tcp/ip configured on both boxes and once that's done you just have
to be able to ping each other. (unless masked) With only two boxes, i
suggest just choose two static ip-nr in the private range. (fixed) and make
a host-file on both machines. spares you the time to configure dns etc.
be carefull tho, i am presuming that your setup on the winbox was made
correctly for networking, so in your network properties, remove all stuff
for your internet and fill in your local settings.
internet settings should be set in the dial-up-adaptor.
it is after that, that for communications you will rely on SAMBA. after
you're done with that, even a ping on a name should work.
good luck
