There are a couple of other things you need to do:
1. Run the command "chmod g+s /home/public" to set the SGID bit on the
directory. Once that is done any new files and subdirectories will
inherit the GID of the parent directory. For any existing
subdirectories, either change them the same way or just run the
command
find /home/public -type d -exec chmod g+s {} \;
to change them all.
2. You'll need to be sure that all members of the group work with their
umask set to give group write permission to files and directories
they create.
3. Fix up stuff that already exists under /home/public by running the
command
find /home/public -exec chmod g+w {} \; -exec chown .Gruppe1 {} \;
Once you've got all that set up the situation should take care of
itself.

could anyone help me with d-link de660 ethernet card?
I install redhat 5.2 in my computer,what should i do
to let my network card work?
[situation]
when I press "lsmod"
Module Pages used by
pcnet_cs 2 0
ds 2 [pcnet_cs] 2
i82365 5 2
pcmcia_core 9 [pcnet_cs ds i82365] 0
does it mean that the module work properly?
then I press "cardctl config"
socket 0:
not configured
socket 1:
Interface type is memory and I/O
IRQ 3 is exclusive, level mode, enabled
Fuction 0:
config register base =0x0400
option = 0x60, status=0000, copy=0000
I/O window1 :0x0320 to 0x032f, 8 bit
I/O window2 :0x0330 to 0x033f, 16 bit
does it mean any message I should know?
but there is something i don't understand
that when i press "dmesg"
Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.0.5

Intel PCIC probe:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
does id mean it found an ethernet card?
but when I press"ifconfig"
it doesn't have eth0 this item,only have lo this item?
So what should exactly do to let my network wrok?
In dos prompt,I use utility to test my card
It shows IRQ=11 IO=0x300 Hardware address as the same above
PS:Could anyone tall me what exctly should I do
,cause I have read Pcmcia HOWTO for many times.
But I still can't get it work?

My samba script is in /usr/sbin, but yours may be different. If you are

I would guess that you are not able to access the CD-Rom from your Dos Prompt.
What you need to do is to make a boot floppy for your Windows Machine (Dos boot
floppy) and either install MSCDEX.EXE onto the machine or Boot from the Floppy
and have MSCDEX.EXE configured on the floppy. I am sorry that I can't help you

I don't know how to write firewall rules with ipfwadm in that
situation. Is it true that I can reference the interface card as eth0,

I've installed RH 5.2 via plip, with just a little difficulty. You'll
need to provide more information if anyone is to help you. Did you use
the RH control panel on the machine that is already running linux?
What values did you put in? Most importantly did you provide a
value for the network mask, or did the control panel fill it in? If
the control panel filled it in, did it fill in a correct value? (You can
check the value against that in the networking howto and in the PLIP mini
howto.) A friend told me that the control-panel rarely fills in the correct
network mask, and he was right for my installation.
So, without other information, I'd suggest checking the network mask against
those in the HOWTO's.

I am replying to this because this is also an interest of mine - the
information below is lifted from
http://www.lucent.com/micro/dsp/k56prod.html. As you can see, it lists 5
chipsets - and only one of them is a "softmodem" or controllerless modem.
The other 4 have controllers (I am assuming so; let me know if I'm wrong on
this so I don't persue it further) but were still marketed as "Winmodems"
because they had no intention of supporting drivers for anything but Win9x.
So could this mean that many fully chipped PCI modems were marketed as
Win-modems because they didn't offer an OS2 driver? My RedHat 5.2 /proc/pci
reads this chip off of the bus as stating that it has a L56xMF chipset.
So hard is it going to be to get these modems to work under linux?

You miss the point. The idea of IP masquerading is to allow the LAN to
use a connection through just one computer. You'll still have to
assign IP addresses to the other computers on the network, but rather
than use "real" IP addresses, you would use internal IP addresses, such
as 192.168.*.*.
The difference is that the "masquerading" box, with a "real" IP address
will be able to communicate with the outside world, because other
computers on the internet will know where to find it through DNS. The
other computers wont, and therefore you need the masquerading.
(Masquerading makes it look as though the machines on the internal
network are in fact using the IP addy of the masquerading box.)
So, the *real* advantage is that you don't have to purchase the ip block
from InterNIC, thereby saving you cash.

Well, you could I suppose leave hosts.allow empty then in hosts.deny put
ALL .satlink.com
ALL .ar
or you could put in hosts.allow
ALL : ALL EXCEPT .satlink.com .ar
then put in hosts.deny
ALL : ALL

Hmm. I think the above manages to avoid re-writing the source. 8-)
Perhaps you could use a firewall as well?

That's weird. One of the servers I administer has a tulip card and the
server has been up now for 178 days without any problems. Here's some
numbers:
RX packets:104749300 errors:0 dropped:13 overruns:0
TX packets:71530160 errors:4 dropped:0 overruns:4
cat /proc/pci reports the card as DEC DC21140 (rev 32).

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,
I'm running dhcpd supplied with Red Hat Linux 5.2.
I have fixed address statements for all the normal
hosts that are on my network on a daily basis.
We build machines for customers and bring them up
on the network and they normally get a 24 hour lease.
Sometimes when a users is away for a week and he comes
back, his fixed address has been given to a machine that
we have built and is running on the network temporarily.
I am not sure about this bit... I've supplied the fixed
addresses from within the range statement in my dhcpd.conf.
I think the first example I saw did this.... is it perhaps
wrong? Should I reduce the range and supply fixed address
systems from outside of the range.... or else why does dhcpd
give away my fixed addresses?
Thanks for any info, pointers or whatever...

Something like the above will probably do the trick. You could also try
