_if_ you have the Primary and Secondary set correct and enabled inside
of XISP (look through all settings to be sure it is), then it should
working correctly. Unless for some reason your ISP changed the

Date: Wed, 05 May 1999 00:14:16 GMT
Hi there,
I am trying to find out how I should go about setting up a
network connection between my Linux box and my NT4 WS.
The WS has the modem attached, the zip disk etc and I would like to
access these from the Linux box (much slower) rather than put the
modem on the Linux box and go the other way (for the moment anyway).
Do I need to use Samba (that I have been reading so much about here)
or is there an easier/different way?
I will be useing 2 NE2000 coax cards

Perhaps this question is a bit of a newbie question but I will ask any
way.
If one changes configurations for Samba (or any other networking
service) how can one restart the services with the new configuration
without rebooting?

Hello,
I can't seem to get Apache to ask me for a password. When I try to go to
the directory IS_ONLY my browser gives me a 500 Internal Server Error and
says: need AuthName: /IS_ONLY/
Inside IS_ONLY I have a .htaccess file containing the following:
<Limit GET>
require user mark
</Limit>
"AccessFileName .htaccess" is set in my srm.conf
"mark" is in my .htpasswd file which is being pointed to by access.conf
"AllowOverride All is also set.
My question is, do I have to write code to get Apache to give me a password
dialogue box or should it do that itself? If it should, why isn't it?
Thanks for any help,
Mark

Is the nmbd deamon alive at the Server ? It is responsible for announcing
the shares. You can try to raise the log level with "kill -USR1 <nmbd PID>"
without restarting the service (please have a look at the nmbd man pages).
Even if there is a problem with brosing you can still connect to samba
without it. Just try to map a network drive and give the explicit path
to samba (something like "\\myserver\myshare" )
Hope that helps,
Bernhard

This strikes me as incorrect.
I have ADSL. My computer has a NIC in it. I connect it to the ADSL modem
via a CAT5 cross-over cable. I get an IP address assigned via DHCP. Done.
I would check again with your provider as to the terminology.
For comparision purposes...
PPP: point-to-point protocol
your ip address is assigned automatically
using routing table, establishes a point-to-point connection
normally used for serial/dial-up connections
can compress packet headers (it's point-to-point, after all)
DHCP: dynamic host configuration protocol
also assigns an ip address automatically
using routing table, establishes route to ISP (not point-to-point)
normally used for semi-permanent connections like cable or adsl
They are similar in the sense that an ip address is assigned
automatically and that the routing table is updated.
The difference is that pppd creates an interface (like ppp0) and dhcpcd
runs on top of an interface (like eth0). Also, dhcpcd broadcasts a dhcp
request and listens for a dhcp reply whereas pppd dials the ISP and
negotiates for an ip address itself.
Hope this helps.

I have had that exact same problem with Gnome. Except I am running RedHat 5.2.
I downloaded the "new & improved" Gnome RPMS from the GNOME site after
the announcement was made on RedHat's site. I followed the exact installation
instructions, and ran into that problem.
In the end, I just decided to do away with Gnome because of that problem. Its
too bad though cause I really liked Gdm, and Xdm seems kinda tacky compared
to it!!
Anyways, I'd be interested to hear why this problem happens and how it can be
fixed. I do want to give Gnome another chance.

We do it at work (web: www.terma.dk) with at twist:
The CD-ROM server is a reject 386 with a Ethernet card, CD Drive and a 10
GB scsi hard drive with one root and 15 partitions formatted as ISO9660
file system i.e. 15 virtual CD's!
The CD's are disk-copied onto the partitions, one for each CD. When we need
more space we will buy another 10 GB drive - but the present setup has been
up for about 2 years.
This setup cost us about DKK 6000 (~$800) for the drive which is cheap
compared to the "NT Solution" - i think that was DKK 67000 (he)
Hope this helps,

I've installed RH 6.0 on two machines. All went well (although I haven't really
taxed them with any real work yet, still just toys for now)
I'm trying to configure RAID 1 (mirror set) under Red Hat 6.0. So far I created
the set md0 and built the filesystem, but upon rebooting I get some message
about "resulting in short read". My best guess is that Linux is not properly
detecting my set (it is supposed to automatically, isn't it?).
When I am done, it's gonna be a quick little file server. I'm replacing a
IntranetWare 4.11 server with it (why did I get that CNE?).

I really like that. I really, really like that. The only problem I see is
there *might* be some inefficiency in route aggregation, meaning the symmetry
in numbering is paid for by tons of exception lines in the routing tables.
Regardless, there's probably a decent compromise that'll work, and which will
preserve the symmetries. I hope you don't mind if I steal the idea next time
I need to set up a private network? :)

Actually, I think that should be /12, not /9. Grr. Call me old fashioned,
but I still have trouble remembering netmask lengths outside the /8, /16, /24
categories. Converting from decimal to binary, doing a calculation, and
converting that back to decimal, isn't as easy as it was in college.

Contrary to some popular opinion, it IS possible to make NetZero work
under Linux (and to remove the advertisments as well, for that matter). I
haven't done it personally (the nearest access number is long-distance for
me anyway)... but if you do a search through DejaNews or something you'll

I'm running redhat 5.2 on my laptop. I'm trying to get the laptop
talking to my network. I have a 3c589c pcmcia card. I've successfully
setup the network card, I can ping the loopback, but I'm unable to ping
anything on the network. If I use ifconfig to see if the adapter is
active I get the following:
lo Link encap:Local Loopback

I thought the problem might be the interrupt being set to 3. I
downloaded a setup program for the pcmcia card and set the irq to 10. I
rebooted and did another ifconfig and received the same settings. The
card is still set to irq 10. Anyone know what the problem is here?

Goto www.linuxberg.com and look for an application called diald.
Search for dialdmon also. Works toghter with diald. although I haven't

It will bring up your PPP links on demand it can also use a different modem
on each new

It has although a slight problem and that is with DNS and named which can

Read the man pages for crontab(1) [the program] and crontab(5) [the
file format]. Then edit the crontab file as root using "crontab -e"
or whatever program is appropriate. Probably you will want to put
in it lines like
00 07 * * * /usr/bin/touch /etc/nologin.ttyxx
00 19 * * * /bin/rm /etc/nologin.ttyxx
That will do the task, *as long as the system is up at 7 am and 7 pm*.
(This needs to be modified if you want this to happen only on weekdays.
I don't know what the best solution is for holidays ...)
You may want to manipulate your startup scripts so that they make sure
that everything is right if the system comes up with /etc/nologin.ttyxx
in the wrong state.
