Hi!
I've finally installed samba + lprng on an aging i386. I have two
parallel ports, and a printer attached to each. I'm using Debian hamm.
This is /etc/print cap:

Then, samba is set up so that anyone in our domain may print to this
server, without needing passwords or stuff like that. /etc/smb.conf looks
like this:
[global]
workgroup=rc
server string=Printer Server
hosts allow=000.000. 127.
load printers=yes
printcap name=/etc/printcap
printing=bsd
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 20
security=share
socket options=TCP_NODELAY
guest account=pcguest
dns proxy=no
[printers]
comment=Printers at skint
path=/var/spool/lpd/lp
browseable=no
guest ok = yes
writable=no
printable=yes
[ljet]
printer=ljet
public=yes
writable=no
printable=yes
path=/var/spool/lpd/ljet
The other printer is not set up, as lprng does not want to print to
it at all. cat <filename> > /dev/lp2 works fine, though.
I've checked the spool directories, and all have the right
permissions. Curiously enough, if I use smbclient from another linux box, I
can print without problems. However, things coming from Win95/WfWg boxes are
sent to /var/spool/lpd/ljet, and stored there. It seems that lpd doesn't
want to print them. A couple of days ago, with only one parallel port,
everything worked fine. lptune says that both lp1 and lp2 use polling. I
don't know what else to do.
Any words of wisdom on that one?
Cheers,
Jose

Subject: Re: setting: how to send mail behind firewall
Date: Sat, 08 May 1999 12:45:31 -0400
My situation is a little different, I run sendmail on my firewall as a
mailserver with access to both sides. My solution should fit your situation
though, because it's a forwarding problem you're having.
You will need the sendmail source code. Go to the cf/cf subdirectory and enter
the following into the file whatever.mc
============
VERSIONID(`@(#)lovejoy.mc 1.02 May 7/99')
OSTYPE(linux)
FEATURE(nouucp)
FEATURE(allmasquerade)
FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)
RELAY_DOMAIN(192.168)
RELAY_DOMAIN(mydomain.com)
MASQUERADE_AS(mydomain.com)
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(mydomain.com)
define(`confPRIVACY_FLAGS', `authwarnings noexpn novrfy needmailhelo noetrn')
define(`confSMTP_LOGIN_MSG', `$j $b')
MAILER(local)
MAILER(smtp)
============
Change mydomain.com to the appropriate domain name
Do a 'make whatever.cf'
Make a copy of your /etc/sendmail.cf then copy whatever.cf to /etc/sendmail.cf
Stop and re-start sendmail.
The masquerade features tell sendmail to totally masquerade your email from every
computer in your domain.
The RELAY_DOMAIN directives tell sendmail to accept any mail to/from 192.168.x.x
or mydomain.com. Sendmail will refuse any other mail as of version 8.9
The two define statements are the usual paranoid security stuff. The first
configures sendmail features and the second changes the welcome banner so as not
to advertise that sendmail is in use.
The rest is pretty standard stuff. For more info read the cf/README file or
check out www.sendmail.org
Keep the whatever.mc file around so you can re-generate the exact same options
in your new sendmail.cf when you upgrade sendmail.

There's also an old mda program "deliver" that may have come with your

Date: Fri, 07 May 1999 23:02:44 GMT
Jason,
I'll give you a few troubleshooting commands to run, then post the output
back to the group here:
ifconfig
netstat -rn
route
cat /proc/ioports
cat /proc/interrupts
dmesg
-Red Hat keeps config info in /etc/sysconfig so try:
cat /etc/sysconfig/network
cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
I have found Red Hat's netcfg to do a good job of properly inserting the
networking info into the startup scripts, except for the routing info
doesn't seem to want to set itself upon startup without some gentle
prodding :)
I couldn't understand from your post whether you have the driver compiled
or not. If you have a good driver you can use insmod to load up the
driver. Do a "man insmod" to learn more.
Once you've posted some of that info people can be more helpful with your
problem...

Hi,
I am planning to deploy my website on a RH6.0 linux box. The problem
is that I plan to use the same box as my development environment or at
least access my development box from my webserver box.
In general, what can I do to make my linux boxes safer? Is there a
comprehensive list of remote access services floating around? I plan
to disable most of them. I really only need to run httpd, ssh, and
ftp on my machine.
I have heard of an utility that can limit access to pre-approved IPs.
What's the name of the utility? Its reliability?
I would greatly appreciate pointers to whatever you can think of that
can help making my linux box better.
Thanks.

Wow, I must be lucky... I stay connected for *weeks* at a time, until my ISP's
server goes down, at which point I just redial. Only if I'm idle for about
an hour, give or take, will they disconnect me. But a simple cron job to check
for email on a pop server every 5 minutes takes care of that. :-)
But I suppose this is the exception, not the rule. Anyone know of a similarly
lenient provider in the Chapel Hill area? I'll be heading there soon, and
unfortunately my current provider isn't in that area.

Yes, try searching http://www.dejanews.com for the above error.
Your pop demon has not properly deleted its lock files. Look
for the lock files in the /var/tmp/.pop directory.
You may want to consider replacing your pop demon.

You wuld have to use a dynamic routing protocol for the fail over to work.
Anoter solution is to use two parallel routers, both doing proxy arp. This
is automatically failover safe. It even does load sharing (bad but it does)
and its transparent to the hosts on the LAN.

Hello there!
I also have an SB 128, and do not use oss modules to load it. Instead,
es1370 does the trick for me. The sequence is:
insmod -k soundcore
insmod -k es1370
1370 is the ensoniq chipset in my box. lspci should reveal the type. I
believe it is either 1370, or 1371.
Then again, I may be completely missing your point!

I have a problem with the internet-conncection of the gateway-linux-pc
to my providers proxy-server.
My intention is to access the poxy server of my provider from
a Client-Pc through the Linux-Gateway-PC.
It works all fine, except the connection to the proxy.
Where can I specify my Linux-Gateway-Pc to use the proxy.server
of my provider. (not in netscape, ...this don=B4t work)
THANX

Subject: GRE Tunnelling between Linux and Cisco routers [A small HOWTO]
A while ago - I requested help on trying to get a tunnel between Linux
and a Cisco router working.
I never got a reply.. So I did the "right thing[tm]" and figured it
out.
Instructions on how to configure Linux and Cisco routers to be GRE
tunnel are available here:
http://www.rit.edu/~jdmsys/tunnel
Be aware that I'm a coder, not a documentation weenie, so your mileage
may vary.
If anyone notices anything stupid, please let me know. This
configuration works for me using a 486DX2/66 running RedHat 5.2 with
custom upgrades to the 2.2 series kernels and a Cisco 7505.
Be aware that you'll lose 5 addresses in setting this up. There's
really no way around this. You lose:
Network (obviously)
Cisco router address
Linux external address
Linux internal address
Broadcast (again, pretty standard)
This configuration allows you to setup your tunnel using one network,
and no "router" subnet addresses.

Subject: rsh works but not rcp? I get alwayw error messages "permission denied"
Date: Sat, 08 May 1999 09:09:46 +0200
hello everyone,
as is obvious already from the subject line, I can't get working rcp. I
have already looked up in the manpages, but I can't find an explanation
for that problem.
It's really funny, because 2 weeks before I couldn't get running ftp. So
I decided to use another way of copying files between two machines on an
ethernet. Now ftp works but not rcp anymore. And one more interesting
thing. rsh works! As far as I know rsh, rlogin and rcp are from the same
family and hence using the same scripts. So my confusion is complete. If
there is no solution for that problem, maybe someone can tell me the
easiest way of copying files between two machines. I tried uucp, but it
doesn't work, too.so any hint would greatly appriciated.
I know time is precious, so you don't need to send complete howto's,
just drop a few words where I should look up for information.
thanks a lot in advance
Manfred

For that task, you might want to consider having a look at
http://www.linuxrouter.org. The URL's name speaks for itself :)
