Subject: Bind 8 and Dial-on-Demand/IPMASQ
Date: Tue, 18 May 1999 12:44:29 GMT

I am using a Linux box to provide dial-on-demand access
for my home network. I recently upgraded from RH51 to RH6
and have run into a small problem. I am running Bind on
the box so that my Win9X machines won't receive a timeout
while the link is coming up. In order to flush bind's name
cache, I do a restart on bind in the ip-down script. I have
to do the restart because if I ask for a cached name while the
link is down it will reply before the link comes up and the
client machine will be routed into never-never land.

With the old version of bind I just set it up as a forwarding
only nameserver. When I did the restart everthing worked
great. However, with Bind 8, it queries something on the
internet (root name servers?) whenever I do a restart, even
though it is configured as a forwarding only nameserver. This
causes my link to stay up (it gets restarted in ip-down and
brings the link back up).

I have patched it up by deleting all root server entries
in the named.ca file except one, and changing it
to 127.0.0.1. This way it just looks at itself and doesn't
bring the link up. Everything works fine this way, except I
get a good deal of complaining in the syslog.

Any ideas about a better way to do this? I basically need
a forwarding only nameserver that won't try to hit the net
when it is restarted.... or some other way of clearing bind's
cache... which I don't think can be done any other way.

Subject: Re: Internet Connection

Well, first you'll want to setup ther dialer, which in most cases is pppd
and chat.  The easiest way to set this up, would be to use linuxconf
(there is PPP setup in the networking section).  Then, to setup the DNS,
run a "pico /etc/resolv.conf", and put the following:

domain att.net
nameserver x.x.x.x  <- where this is AT&T's primary nameserver.
nameserver x.x.x.x  <- where this is AT&T's secondary nameserver.

..then, to setup the mail and news servers, you will need to be in
whatever client you plan on using for mail and news..  whether it be
Netscape in X, pine, tin, slrn..  Netscape should be self-explanatory
(Edit | Preferences , etc), tin is "export NNTPSERVER=<AT&T's news server
here>"  (without the < > ), pine is ~/.pinerc , etc.

First off, I'm a linux newbie and a total newbie to SNMP stuff, but
since I do know a little more about Linux then others at my work place,
I got stuck with getting MRTG to work for SNMP stuff.  Fun, huh?:)


Anyhow, I believe that I have the settings correctly, but I'm not sure
where to look.  When I run the MRTG program I get the following error.

    Can anyone give me a clue where I should start on diagnosing this?

know that I can get there.

Because of the nature of HTTP, the protocol used by Apache, a new connection
will be made for each file requested from the server (this is not entirely
true for HTTP/1.1). Each of these connections will be authenticated (in your
case using the .htaccess/.htpasswd files). After a file has been retrieved,
the connection will be closed again. There is no real login like with telnet
or ftp. (Documentation on this protocol is on http://www.w3.org)

You could check your log files for authenticated connections originating
from different IP-addresses, at (approximately) the same time. This is a
loose criterium, since it is possible for multiple people to use the same IP
(using a multi-user OS, firewalling), or for one person to use more than one
(using a multi-homed host, or proxies).
Blocking logins can only be done by modifying apache.

OK, I've searched the archives, the FAQs, and every Linux web page I can
stand for the last few hours, and I'm probably SOL but it comes
to this...
We are using an MCIS "instant internet" IPX -> IP Gateway in the office,
because all the office PCs run Novell. You know the spec, 20PCs
connecting to this box over IPX, that converts to IP, out down the
leased line and bingo. The WINSOCK seems to handle the redirect locally.
Oh, and the router won't route straight IP, So... How do I get my Linux
box (Redhat 5.1 straight ou of the box, everything installed) to connect
to the internet?

Even if this is not possible, I need to know because NT Workstation is
driving me insane....

Cheers guys,

Craig.

Under networking options when you compile your kernel, you will see a
reference to SYN cookies. Make sure that you compile the kernel with
this feature on. That should handle the problem.  By the way, the help
file associated with this says that the ip address is probably not the
real one, so backtracking probably will not help you here.

Subject: eth0 broken by Kern 2.2.9
Date: Mon, 17 May 1999 16:53:26 -0400

    I upgraded from 2.2.7 to 2.2.9 last night, and am unable to start up the
3c509 ethernet driver on my x86 box.  I keep getting startup messages saying
something like modprobe can't find module eth0, even though I am positive my
ethernet was not compiled as a module.  I did all the right things like clean
out the previous modules, and doing clean make - I have done this many times
before.  I can find eth.o after the build, although it is not in the modules
subdirectory, hence it is not installed to /lib/modules.  I did not have this
problem with 2.2.7 or earlier vintage kernels.  I was careful in selecting the
right build options when I did make menuconfig - after the networking broke, I
carefully rechecked my build options.  Interestingly enough, my dialup PPP seems
to still be working ok.

    Has anybody else seen funny ethernet problems with this kernel?  If I cannot
resolve the issue tonight, I may submit an offical bug report, and downgrade
back to 2.2.7

Hi,

On my server I use fetchmail to download different e-mail accounts. When I

The imap server I connect to is an IMail 4.7 server (MickeySoft)
Does anyone have the same problem or does anyone know how to solve this

Yes, you'll need to configure your server to be a DHCP client of your ISP,
for the IP address of the NIC attached to the cable modem.

I'm not sure I understand your concern. The 2nd NIC will cable to the cable
modem, either through your hub (maybe not a good idea), or directly by UTP
('null' 10BaseT cable). If you go through your hub, remember that the cable
modem bridges your LAN to a larger LAN consisting of all your neighbours that
are also on cable modems. Ethernet packets originating in your lan might not
be filtered out of the connection, even if you install an IP firewall.

Also, IIRC, the DHCP client expects to talk to eth0, so your 1st NIC
(your LAN) will probably become eth1 (it can remain connected to the hub).

>2. IP Masquerading?

Good Idea. It's not difficult to set up (check out ipchains for Linux 2.2
or ipfwadm for Linux 2.0), and will allow all your LAN workstations access
to the internet without the cost of leasing additional IP addresses from
your ISP.

>3. Firewall?  Up to now I haven't had to think much about security, since

Definitely install a firewall. Remember that when you are connected to the
internet, the internet is connected to you. Even with a simple PPP connection,
*my* firewall has intercepted both IP spoofing attempts (directed at my PPP
IP address), and attempts to log on to my (private) FTP server. Unless you are
prepared to reinstall everything on a compromised system (server *and* perhaps
even your workstations), a firewall is a necessity for a cable-modem or ADSL
connection.

Check out the HOWTO documents (Ethernet, Firewall, IP-Masquerade)

This error message is generated by nmbd (ok, it's generated by the kernel
but it's originated in nmbd). It displays in the log.nmb file, and "ps aux"
shows nmbd running...

And it doesn't seem to be related to my firewall because there's no
difference if I enable or disable the firewall. My kernel version is
2.2.5...

And here's what nmbd is logging:

This is how it worked a while ago before I recompiled my kernel and thus
replacing the original one from the distribution (because I needed some ISDN
stuff etc):

Perhaps the port is not set to the correct telnet port in the client you
are using?  The default telnet port is 23.

You could also just turn DNS off with sendmail, that will do the trick.

Linuxconf R14 + I think has Turn off DNS.

Easy.

There is a file in the /etc directory called securetty.  In it are tty
numbers allowed to login as root.  When you telnet in,  you are assigned a
psedo tty number.  If you don't care and want to allow everyone to try to
login as root, just rm /etc/securetty.  Not that I would recommed it, but,
to each his own.
