Subject: Masq. Problem
Date: Fri, 14 May 1999 16:51:06 GMT
When using the following command :
(sbin/ipfwadm -F -a accept -m $INET -P tcp -S 172.19.12.89/32 -D $ANY
ftp) I can masq. to a remote site and login fine, but when the FTP
program tries to retrieve a directory listing a get a DoDirList(0)
error? Any ideas? I only want to Masq. the FTP protocol Redhat Linux
5.0 kernel 2.0.36 If I remove the word ftp from the end of the command
(which means allow all tcp stuff) then it works fine. However I do not
want the client machine to have that ability.
Thank You,

Hi All,
I have a P233 win98 box and a P200 Linux RedHat 5.2 box. What I want to do
is to load the x windos from my
win 98 box. I have exceed 6.0.
Ok now come to the point.
This is my exceed setup.
win98 ip: 192.168.1.3
Linux ip: 192.168.1.1
Xconfig seups
========================
communication = passive
display number = 0
Protocol = default
Window mode = multiple.
Xstart setup
====================
start method: REXEC(TCP/IP)
Program type : X window
Host type: Unix
command: /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -sb -ls -display 192.168.1.3:0.0 -fg blue -bg
lightgrey &
when I Run it, the error message says: "Unable to connect to the host using
specified start method"
But If I change the
start method: REXEC(TCP/IP) to RLOGIN(TCP/IP) and the
command: /usr/X11R6/bin/startx -sb -ls -display 192.168.1.3:0.0 -fg blue -bg
lightgrey &
the X Window starts on the Linux box instead of my Win98.
when I setup the export DISPLAY=192.168.1.3:0.0 and use the
xhost command, the following error comes up:
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 192.168.1.3:0.0
Does anyone know how to setup it?
Please email me or discuss about this matter.
Sincerely,
VJ

There are some things here that I don't know about. The Io interface is
one, the broadcast-like host addresses 192.168.4.255 and 192.168.3.255 are
another, and the 224.0.0.0 network routes to eth0 and eth1 with 240.0.0.0
masks still another. I really don't understand the default route either,
the one with IP 192.168.3.101 which you say is an Internet gateway.
And is route.conf indigious to SUSE? I've not see such a configuration
file before although I would guess that it's probably a boot-up file
used in SUSE distributions.
My concept of what you had was this:
LAN A <--> LANs' Gateway <--> LAN B
Still, the ethernet LANs should be able to talk to each other - provided
every box on the LANs, other than the gateway, has a network route to it's
network and it's default gateway pointed at the LANs' gateway. This is
*not* the Internet gateway, which you didn't mention in your first post.
BTW the only way a reserved IP box could be an Internet gateway is for it
to be dual-homed with a routeable IP and use NAT, or the Linux many-to-one
variety of NAT called IP-masquerading. You can't get to the internet
from reserved address networks without that or something very similar.
No offense if you know all this, I'm just confused as to what's what here.

I'm running RedHat Linux 5.2 on both a server and a workstation (both
Intel). A third machine is a client running under Win95 (all connected by a

get the login prompt.
Anyone has an idea what goes wrong?

I had this same exact problem when I hooked two of my linux machines
together. I am using a crossover cable and no hub. I put the name/ip
pairs of the machines in the /etc/hosts file and it seemed to fix it.
Another thing that "might" have been the problem is that I was using
ip's I made up that where not the reserved ips ( 192.168.*.* i believe.
I didn't read the how-to unitl after I got it setup...but don't tell
anyone). Anyway, I was thinking that maybe since the ips where real deal
ips, the machine that I was trying to connect from was attempting to
connect to my isp nameservers and look the names up and then timing out
and then making the connection. Hope this helps.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
After bringing up diald, I found it necessary to add a rule to my firewall (which had
run just fine using pppd without diald) to ge it working:
/sbin/ipfwadm -O -a accept -S 192.168.0.101/32 -D 0.0.0.0/0
where:
local 192.168.0.101
is an option in diald.conf.
However, reading this thread makes me wonder:
1. Why does Frank Hahn have "inet addr: 192.168.100.10" for both eth0 and sl0? Does
the kernel route all his local LAN packets to sl0? Why do that?
2. After diald brings up my connection, I see two default routes, one for ppp0 and
another for sl0, but both show 0.0.0.0 as the gateway address (I believe this means
"no gateway"). I assume diald takes the packets to the default route which uses sl0,
and forwards them somehow to my ISP's router. By then why bother to set up ppp0 as a
default route?

Keep in mind I was only talking about ssh1. I stated previously that
ssh2 is "crap". I don't mean that from a licensing standpoint -- the
package itself is garbage. There are features I use in ssh1 that simply
are not "yet" supported by ssh2, thus I wouldn't care if they paid me to
use it -- it's still crap.

Not true.

I imagine you were talking about ssh2 when you made the above claims,
and were simply being unclear in your advice. When you say "ssh" most
sysadmins will assume you mean the version that actually works [ssh1].
:)
ssh2 is *not* the "latest version" of ssh1 -- it is an altogether
different package. It's not 100% backwards compatible with ssh1, and in
the FreeBSD world [and I imagine Linux as well, but don't know offhand]
there's a very clear distinction made about this. The FreeBSD package
for ssh1 is called "ssh", which is why I refer to ssh1 that way [and
refer to ssh2 as "ssh2", which is *its* package name].
Having said that, you're probably right about it being unclear to *some*
people [and I'll try to be more careful about it in the future,
especially when posting in Linux groups], but I still think "most
people" will know that "ssh" means "ssh1".

It's worse than that. The license says NON-COMMERCIAL USE means _ONLY_:
NON-COMMERCIAL USE shall mean the following uses of the SOFTWARE:
a) any use done outside and without connection to a commercial
organization and commercial activity,
b) use related to leisure time activities by private
individuals, including hobbies, games, etc. provided
however that such use is not commenced with commercial
companies.
I don't see how, with a straightforward reading, just about _any_ use
passes part (a), since you're almost always connecting to _some_
commercial organization. Hell, even the FSF is a "commercial
organization", in that they sell products for money. And that's
assuming that by "connecting" they don't mean to your ISP, which is of
course commercial, but only the "endpoints" of the ssh tunnel.

you should be set..
3c905B, on the other hand, you'd need the vortex support in. I
believe it is the same configuration as above. Check
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt, or the equivalent
in the 2.2.x or 2.3.x tree (I'm currently looking at a 2.0.x tree atm).

Two choices: find dos drivers for the CD-ROM, or make a boot floppy
from the CD-ROM. From a machine/OS that can access the CD-ROM, go
to the \dosutils directory. It will have rawrite.exe. Put a fresh
floppy in drive a: and try the following command:
rawrite -f ..\images\boot.img -d a:
If memory serves me that should work to make a boot floppy for the
install. Try "rawrite -h" for options. Check the path to boot.img,
I don't have a 5.2 CD here to check it. Hope this get's you going...

Subject: samba: problems with capital letters
Date: Sat, 15 May 1999 00:08:01 +0200
hello,
I use samba as file server on a SuSe 6.0 linux system. I got a WinNT 4.0 SP
3 as a client.
If save a file on my local NT disk with starting a capital letter, for
example "Test.xls" and copy it to my samba server, the copied file lose the
big "T" and writes "test.xls".
May anybody help to solve this problem
thanks a lot
roger
