Why do you run smtp under inetd control? I�d run sendmail directly off
the port, but that�s just me of course.

Do you have any diagnostic output for instance from netstat -an? Are all
the inetd ports closed or only some of them? Is it transient (will it go
away after a while)? Does it affect udp ports as well?

Probably kill <pid of inetd> and then restart inetd. You could try to
kill -HUP inetd, but I doubt whether that will work.

Snmp stuff is nice but usually more trouble to set up than it is worth
in a small network where you shouldn't be having many network problems
anyway. Mrtg is good for router bandwidth monitoring, and for the
times you do need to see what is on the wire you might like 'iptraf':

It worked well enough to diagnose someone pinging our broadcast address
early one morning (with someone else reading the screen over the phone).

connect two systems with same driver/kernel and a crossover-cable (NO

buffering).
ping-flood the system:
# ping -s 1000 -f <target>
1000-byte frames flooded (back-to-back). you should see "." chars and
backspaces as the packet goes out and is acked.
under ideal conditions, each dot will get a backspace, so the line
should not grow across the screen. on my system, it takes a few
seconds for the dots to outnumber the backspaces, meaning packet loss.
then, give it another minute or so and the xmitter or receiver will
lock up and not even a single slow ping will go thru.

No problem - is done automatically. Just enter the IP address and host
name and resolution will work both ways. Try for instance "host 127.0.0.1"
and "host localhost".

Why would you want to when you have a caching only nameserver? If you do
not manage a primary domain, you don�t need to manage a reverse domain
(*.in-addr.arpa) too. Anyway, if you want to just add the entry to
/etc/named.boot or /etc/named.conf (depending on the named version you
use). More info in the DNS howto.

What this tells me is that IRQs are being disabled by another driver or
piece of software which is interfering with your network card because it
requires the IRQs.. I think it is most likely a harddrive controller that
would do this. Another possibility to correct this is to get a better
network card, like a DEC/Tulip or something.. these use a better way to
transfer data to begin with.

Date: 10 May 1999 16:32:04 +0100
Not tried yet and dont know if it's not too cumbersome for the avg
windows user...
my idea is to set up a service FAX in samba with path smthg like
/var/spool/fax-outgoing-postscript. On the client you set up a postscript
printer which saves the output into a file. Then what the client has to do is to
print to this printer. The path for the saved file should be the service
exported by samba, the name of the file should resemble the fax-number. Then all
you have to do is to poll the directory from time to time, looking for new
files, convert them to FAX G3 using ghostscript and send them out using efax or
sendfax or similar things. The number to call you get from the file name.

Date: Mon, 10 May 1999 12:45:23 -0400
The following is configuration information on how to configure a General
Instraments SB1100 cablemodem with a static IP address:
Configuring - Linux
Depending on which Linux distribution you are running, you may need to edit
various start-up scripts so that the IP addresses are already configured at
boot time. Here is a sample of how to configure RedHat Linux to work with an
SB1100 series.
Setup the cable modem with the necessary information such as client address
and frequency.
Boot to Linux. Login as superuser.
Change the IP address of the Linux computer using the following command:
ifconfig eth0 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX broadcast XXX.XXX.XXX.255 \
netmask 255.255.255.0
Add the necessary routes to the routing table using the following commands
(note: 192.168.100.0 is the default address of the SB1100 cablemodem):
route add -net 192.168.100.0 eth0
route add default gw 192.168.100.1
Edit the /etc/resolv.conf file to reflect the following:
domain bell.net
search bell.net
nameserver xxx.xxx.64.xxx
nameserver xxx.xxx.65.xxx
Edit the startup script /etc/sysconfig/network to reflect the following
information:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=binky.bell.net
DOMAINNAME=bell.net
GATEWAY=192.168.100.1
GATEWAYDEV=eth0
Edit the startup script /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to reflect
the following information:
DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.100.0
BROADCAST=192.168.100.255
ONBOOT=yes
Use a web browser such as Lynx or Netscape to connect to Internet as usual.

Date: Mon, 10 May 1999 13:02:23 -0400
Hi! has anyone managed to get Calbletron 2100 ethernet cards working in Linux?
Every time I boot a new 2.2.x kernel with the e2100.o module loading at boot
time, I get:
"Aieee, killling interrupt handler" and "code errors" and stuff.
This also happens when I use the bootnet.img to try and do an FTP install....
Even when I install RH6.0 and then insert the e2100 module at boot, the
computer crashes and kills the interrupt handler.
All this happens on 2 intel computers which are pretty different, except there
are Cabletron cards in them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

If the address book is fairly static then sendmail aliases will do

I think what you need is a Proxy server in your Linux (I suggest Apache

Any case, if you do so, and you put your Proxy on an Internet Network, the

It depends on just what chip is on it. Take the card out of the box.
Look at it. Find the largest chip on the board. Examine the numbers.
If it says "MX98713A" or some derivation thereof, then it's a Macronix
PMAC chip, which is a DEC tulip workalike. For this, you need an up to
date version of the tulip driver. Go look at Donald Becker's driver
repository (http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers) and grab a copy.
Read the instructions while you're there.

Subject: Setting TCP Retransmit Interval
Date: Tue, 11 May 1999 01:26:28 -0400
Folks,
We run Solaris web servers and usually tweak
the default TCP retransmit interval to allow more time
for many connection which are usually over a modem.
Have been looking for the ability to change
similar driver setting in Linux (RedHat 5.1), and haven't
seen it anywhere in the docs.
Any help would be appreciated.
