I have downloaded INN 2.2 and shall install it as soon as I get a copy
of Slackware 4.0, plus a few bits and bobs of hardware that I plan to
install at the same time.
I have a semi-fixed IP (as long as the machine is up, I keep the IP).
My ISP plans to start providing fixed IPs pretty soon.
A friend of mine would like to post to a particular newsgroup, but as
it's a political newsgroup, and some other users on that group have
made death threats against other posters, she would prefer to remain
anonymous.
What I'd like to do is allow her to post via my server. How would I
go about this? Would I need a fixed IP? A domain name?
When she posts, will the IP of her own ISP, in the US, be visible, or
would it just be my server?
Thanks in advance.

For 2 or more NE2000 to work you have to compile the ne2000 driver

I wonder what changes the hostname. It could be the ppp dialin script or =

SuSE should already have the driver for that card if they're using kernel
2.2.x
The installation disk should be able to detect the card straight away and
you
wouldn't have to do anything.
Support for 3c905 have been included in 2.2.x and 2.1.x for a long time so
you should also be able to recompile your kernel too if you want.

First, ensure that the printer indeed works locally.
Then ensure that your ethernet setup is correct.
Then, presuming you have the default samba configuration,
go through the troubleshooting steps at www.samba.org.
[deletia]
The default smb.conf will setup all of your local printers for smb sharing.

Hi!
After tinkering about with samba for a couple of days, I am unable
to have a decent printer server up and running. All that is needed is access
to a single printer (two in the future, if that one works :D). I'd like to
know how one can achieve that. I read the smb.conf documentation, and the
other documentation, but got swamped. The FAQ was quite useless, and the
only resource which was somewhat useful was the SMB-HOWTO. My question is:
does anyone have one such thing set up, and would be willing to share
his/her knowledge with me (regarding smb.conf's and stuff like that)? I'm
getting desperate now!!!
Also, does anyone know how to go around on the clients side, when
they're using WfWg? I downloaded a TCP/IP driver, and disk sharing is no
problem. It's only printing that doesn't happen!
Thanks for your help.

Subject: PPP problems with RH6.0
Date: Wed, 05 May 1999 10:21:04 -0700
I have been experiencing bizarre PPP problems ever since installing
'starbuck' (RH5.9) and now have the same problem with RH6.0..
I had been using PPP dialling in to work and my local ISP from my Linux
box at home for about eighteen months, and the scripts and addresses
were unchanged (and previously worked correctly and reliably..).
Now the problem is as follows:
PPP dials in correctly. 'ping' gives 'unknown host' message
inmmediately after hitting -enter-, but 'nslookup' with _same_ nodename
works correctly:-
Example:
[root@rglinux rgadsdon]# ping www.scruz.net
ping: unknown host www.scruz.net
[root@rglinux rgadsdon]# nslookup www.scruz.net
Server: ns2.scruz.net
Address: 165.227.2.10
Name: www.scruz.net
Address: 165.227.192.254
Netscape and other network apps do not resolve the nodenames either (as
you would expect..)
With the same setup on my other 'old' system running RH5.2 (kernel
2.0.36), ping and Netscape etc. work fine...
ifconfig under RH5.2 (kernel 2.0.36) is:
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:165.227.101.208 P-t-P:165.227.2.70 Mask:255.255.0.0
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING MTU:1524 Metric:1
RX packets:19 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:19 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0
Memory:df4038-df4c34
ifconfig under RH6.0 (kernel 2.2.5) is:
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:165.227.101.208 P-t-P:165.227.2.70 Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1524 Metric:1
RX packets:14 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:14 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:10
Obviously the 'flags' for PPP have changed with RH6.0 to include NOARP,
but I assume that is this _were_ the cause of the problem then the
newsgroups would already be full of 'fix' info.. My searches found that
most
reported 'problems' were on older versions of RH (5.1 and 5.2), and
usually due to wrong entries in resolv.conf, or file permission
errors..
I even went so far as to look at the source for the PPP kernel module
(ppp.c) and found that the same flags seem to be included for all the
'kernel 2.2.x' versions.. I also added the correct 'alias
ppp-compress-nn' references to my conf.modules, but this did not change
anything (except remove the corresponding error messages from the
logs..)
I have tried searching the usual 'documentation' (although most of the
PPP info seems to be 'generic' or a little old...).
The most frustrating thing is that _very_ occasionally PPP will work
correctly! This seems to occur sometimes after re-booting the system (I
have been swapping SCSI devices for other tests). I would estimate that
one time in six a re-boot will miraculously make PPP work correctly, and
the next re-boot will cause it to fail again..
I am rapidly running out of ideas here, and any suggestions would be
very welcome!

Subject: help: samba passwords
Date: Wed, 05 May 1999 18:14:28 +0300
I'm running Samba set up to "share" mode. the samba server has also a
guest acount (no password,user pcguest).
from what i understood from the samba docs (when security=share):
when a win95 computer tries to acces a share on samba server, it gives
the server the password of the win95 user (as typed at the client for
microsoft networks prompt at boot), samba then tries to match the
password to the users it knows, and if theres a match, win95 client is
given permission matching username+password.
So. i typed username "blabla" with _no password_ at windows client boot.
it should work since samba matched the NULL password to that of user
pcguest. as expected, i got the rights of user pcguest.
However, when i typed on windows client boot user=daniel
password=daniel, samba recognized it as pcguest too!!
i thought it shouldnt, since it cant match password daniel to user
pcguest (who has no password at all)
(no user daniel is defined on samba machine).
whats going on?
All the best

Hello All,
Here is the problem, I have a Local DNS server setup on my network. The db
file is private.net.hosts and works fine for name resolution. I can't seem to
get reverse dns working, nor does nslookup work. But nslookup does reverse
lookups so the problem probably lies with reverse dns.
Anyone who may be able to answer these questions I would appreciete the help,

If it's only name resolution, then it may be the way DNS is set up on the

It is not possible to get another window manager to run since MiX already
have one built in! You will find that information on MiX's homepage !

Subject: Get client machine's IP-address
Date: Wed, 05 May 1999 16:56:17 +0200
Hi, world
Does anybody know how can I get in a stand-alone C/C++ program, running
on a server machine
but started during a telnet/rlogin session, the IP-address of the client
machine that launched the
telnet session ?
Obviously the program doesn't anything know about the client machine.
Thanks,
Luke
