Well, on friday Freshmeat posted a new versio ssh 2.0.13 This version will work
with the new glibc and other issues with the new Kernel 2.2.x
Now if the ftp server would respond for me, I'll be able to try it out!
check it out at http://www.freshmeat.net/news/1999/05/14
- Derek
ps - sorry about the wrong version numbers in my original post. Thats what I
get for posting first thing in the morning ;) The versions I tried before were
1.2.26 and 2.0.9 There is also a 1.2.27 version available for people who dont
want to run(why?) ssh2. So this must be an issue.

Aunque te pediria encarecidamente, que para un correcto funcionamiento
uses otros numeros, ademas de direcciones IP de tipo C.
Por ejemplo

You should be checking whether ghostscript supports that printer.
According to
http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/pht/current/pht-4.html
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/printer.html
the HP 890 and 890C are supported but there's no mention of the 895 either
way. Try to find out from HP which of its "legacy" printers the 895
is closest to and then try that driver.

111 is the portmap port. It tells outside systems where the ports are

Set up your /etc/hosts.deny with
portmap:ALL
and your /etc/hosts.allow
with
portmap: list of IP addresses you want to allow to connect
(see man portmap)
maywell be a probe to see if you have the mountd hole.

On linux that is just portmap, nfsd, mountd.

Found what it was: The client host was not in /etc/hosts, and the
server would refuse connections because of this. No idea if this is a
security measure.

Yup. Hopefully you are running a newer version of the nfs services

Don't forget to add qmaild to /etc/services. Most distros say "mail"
for port 540.
Now, how do I tell my Qmail server (fixed IP address) to be smarthost
for my home Qmail system, with its ever-changing IP address?
The only way I can figure is to send through uucp.
I tried a dynamic DNS (ez-ip.net) but it doesn't work because
the Qmail server can't verify my home system in rDNS (I think).

I have a SMC Etherpower (SMC8432BT) that works fine under RH 5.2 but
doesn't work under RH 6.0. The link light on the hub comes on as soon as
the "tulip" module is loaded then goes off as soon as the startup scripts
try to "ifup eth0" the device. I re-compiled the kernel to have the
absolute minimum amount of drivers (modules or otherwise) which usually
solves my problems but it didn't help in this case. I'm using a HP
Pavilion 6370Z (Pentium II 350MHz) with ATI Rage Pro video board and 96MB
of memory. I would be interested in knowing what type of system you are
using. Some people don't seem to have any problems but others, like
myself, can't get the ethernet interface up at all.

Hello!
As far as I know dhcp has nothing to do with name resolution. And it's seems
that you are trying to resolve client's name to Ip address.
You need to use DNS or WINS, I think samba allows you to use your Linux box
as a WINS server for WIN clinets.
Good luck!

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Thanks for the advice! Minicom seems like a more reliable piece of
software than cu.
However, minicom also prints out an error message when trying to connect
to the serial port.
When starting minicom, I supplied the -s option and configured the
following in the menus:
serial port setup->serial device: /dev/ttys0 (instead of /dev/modem,
which was default)
Bps/Bits: 9600 8N1
And after I pressed 'exit' from the configuration menus, I got kicked
out to the OS prompt:
minicom: cannot open /dev/ttys0: Input/Output error
[root@dio /etc]#
What's wrong? I did a 'ps' to see if there were any processes locking up
the serial device, but everything seems in order.
Please help me out
TIA

Subject: LinkSys Network Problem???
Date: Sun, 16 May 1999 14:40:42 -0400
I installed a LinkSys 100mbs ethernet PCI card
in a Gateway P90 desktop machine and a LinkSys
PCMCIA 10/100 ethernet card in a Toshiba
notebook. Both machines run RH 5.2.
I use the desktop machine as a
'server' by using telnet to connect to it from
the notebook. I use the modem in the desktop
and run netscape on the desktop and pipe it
back to the notebook. It works very well
for a random period of time...usually an
hour or so. Then the network slows down
drastically (one character transmitted every
few seconds) and finally stops. It always
requires a reboot of the desktop machine
to recover. Has anyone seen behavior like
this before? Any help is appreciated.
So far it has only occurred when running Netscape.
I have been running other graphics intensive
X apps and have not yet seen the problem.
Please email.
Thanks...Win

Well, first you have to figure out what it is that the "modem" wants--
ie ports, commands, etc to control the modem. (No info from
manufacturer). Then you have to impliment all of themodem stuff in
software. Then you have to figure out how to get all that timing
critical stuff out under a multitasking, multiuser operating system, so
that the OS does not swap out the modem driver at just the wrong time.
Then you discover that although this works for your modem, for the next
verion of yours it does not work, and it also does not work for any
other manufacturer;s modem either.
Note that the voice feature of modems is more standard, but there is no
good voice software. vgetty seems to have terminally bit the dust.

===================================================== We have D-Link
ether cards that are just NE2000 clones so just rebuild the kernel to
support it
