Subject: Default Route - which config file?
Date: Sun, 9 May 1999 00:07:27 -0400
Hello,
I recently set up my RH5.2 Linux box to access my cable modem. I had to
hard-code all of the IP information (using netconfig) because I never could
get DHCP to work (anyone have any ideas on this, beyond what was described
in the HOWTOs? My cable modem provider is MediaOne express)
Anyway, it appears that netconfig did not add the default route to my config
files. Because I always have to type:
#route add default gw 24.88.36.1 eth0
after logging in to get it to work.
Where do I specify this in my startup files so that I do not have to type it
in everytime?
Thanks!
-Mike

Get a bootable dos-floppy (any-dos) (or a image of it, and write it
to a floppy) and put the 3c509cfg.exe on it, boot on that floppy,
set the 3c509b (and 3c509?). Maybe only one nic at the time is

http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/diag/diagnostic.html offers both an

As far as I know,
you'll have to set the ftp-client into passive mode, because a
masqueraded
host isn't visible from outside.
the passive mode avoids the server's attempts to open a connection
backwards
(which would result in a remote server trying to contact your ftp-client
...
finding your masquerading linux-box)
not sure how reliable this piece of information is ...

Hello Scott,
I was a subscriber to the @HOME service for about a year. I was
living in SanDiego at the time. I'd been given a 'leased' IP and was
told that the lease was valid for approx 30 days. My system was
never offline for any length of time, so I don't know if it would've
expired.
What I do know is they will shut you down if you attempt to run a server
across their lan/wan. The teeny-tiny print in your contract with them says
so.
They never filtered any of my traffic, but when they found I was running a
pseudo commercial server, BANG! Service suspended and subsequent
nastygram to cease in the mail.
Good luck, I miss having the bandwidth. Now I live in the mountains of
Colorado
and have to make due with a 24.4k dialup, but the quiet and scenery more
than
make up for it.

There finally is a driver that works. It's the "Hurricane" series, courtesy

Some PCI motherboards require that you set the IRQ for each PCI slot in the
BIOS, as well as whether it is level or edge triggered (try edge first).
You probably shouldn't use IRQ 9, it is used to redirected the 2nd interrupt
controller interrupts to the first via IRQ2. 5, 10 or 11 is your best
bet. However, since you don't use the 2nd IDE controller 15 would be OK
too.

Subject: Mounting the Samba Shares with Linux Workstation???
Date: Sun, 09 May 1999 00:07:23 -0600
Hi All,
I have a small home network going. Two
computers, Dual Boot, Redhat 5.1/Win95
and server running Redhat 5.2 & Samba. I
have Server/Samba working fine with
Win95, I can log in and see all the
available shares etc.
Currently when I boot into my Redhat 5.1
(the dual boot machine) system it will
mount the DOS partitions (i.e. C-Drive
and D-Drive) on my Windows 95 system
through fstab.
Should the Samba server make those
partitions on the Win95 system available
to the Redhat 5.1 system, instead of
doing it through fstab?
How should I mount the available shares
on the Samba server with Redhat 5.1?
Should I place the smbmount lines in the
etc/rc.d/rc.local file? Is that the
preferred method?
Is there any special syntax that need to
be used in the rc.local file?
Just trying to set it up the most
logical way.
Thanks
Joe

Could this be a dns problem ? Have you got your ISP's dns server specified in

In order to resolve hostnames, the hosts file is searched prior to checking
dns, as far as I know you_can't_use aliases in the hosts file, these should
be specified as CNAME entries in DNS. Hence only one of the hostnames will
be resolved from the hosts file (hence www being resolved) - the rest are
ignored as they are duplicates.

Is not ipop3d itself who makes these DNS lookups but tcpd:
grep ipop3d /etc/inetd.conf
man 8 tcpd
So maybe you're not using tcpd with ids-ipop3d right now.

Really?. What means "all" ? Maybe virtual e-mail domains? Or just
mailertables?
Debian Linux has a tool called "sendmailconfig" in order to make easier
a basic configuration of sendmail, but sendmail on RedHat and Slackware
only can be configured usually via the same standard m4 way:
http://www.sendmail.org/m4/basics.html
> If you have to stay with slackware,
Sure. Lots of people are using Linux on a production environment. So
changing from one distribution to a different one (or even upgrading
their current distribution version) needs a powerful reason.
> read

In most cases, you don't need reading the whole documentation to
configure sendmail. The cf/README file might suffice (it's
/usr/lib/sendmail-cf/README on RH-5.2 and it was
usr/src/sendmail/cf/README, from the smailcfg.tgz package, on
Slackware-3.1).
Jaime, configuring sendmail was easy on Slack-3.1 since i've read this
clear sample of sendmail .mc file (on RedHat Linux) at:
http://personal1.iddeo.es/ret005lc/diald-win-e.html#sendmail
PS.: I'm currently using RedHat 5.2, but Slackware is also a great
distribution, I think.

Subject: Mounting the Samba Shares with Linux Workstation???
Date: Sun, 09 May 1999 00:16:11 -0600
Hi All,
I have a small home network going. Two computers, Dual Boot,
Redhat 5.1/Win95 and server running Redhat 5.2 & Samba. I
have Server/Samba working fine with Win95, I can log in and
see all the available shares etc.
Currently when I boot into my Redhat 5.1 (the dual boot
machine) system it will mount the DOS partitions (i.e.
C-Drive and D-Drive) on my Windows 95 system through fstab.
Should the Samba server make those partitions on the Win95
system available to the Redhat 5.1 system, instead of doing
it through fstab?
How should I mount the available shares on the Samba server
with Redhat 5.1? Should I place the smbmount lines in the
etc/rc.d/rc.local file? Is that the preferred method?
Is there any special syntax that need to be used in the
rc.local file?
Just trying to set it up the most logical way.
Thanks
Joe
