Hi,
I have a small problem, and I just cannot seem to find out how to do it.
We have a main server (maindomain.com) and a network (which is firewalled
through ipchains) behind the server for the office (all with addresses
192.168.1.xx, and so on)...
Now, we would like the other linux box, 192.168.1.113 to also be on the
internet, so that a person could telnet/ftp to it directly, and not by
going through maindomain.com. The name of the second linux box is, say,
galaxy.maindomain.com .
For galaxy, we do have a "public" IP address.
So, how do I set this up? How do I put Galaxy on the internet, behind a
server which uses ipchains, so if I were to type
"http://galaxy.maindomain.com" from outside of the network, the request
would work.
We cannot put it in the same T1 line as maindomain.com, so yes, I guess
the request would go through maindomain.com to get to
galaxy.maindomain.com.
I tried to ifconfig eth0 {IP address} and it doesn't seem to work..not
even maindomain.com could telnet into it.
Thank you very much.

Thanks. I've since discovered a way of doing it, which uses formail in a
limited way, and an executable which searches for the From address.

I'm still looking for an answer to this one. I'm currently just piping my mail
message to "mail" with the address passed as a command line option. However, I
still can't see how to change what comes up in my from address (I've found how
to change my "Chris Severn" name, but not my email address). The email address
I want to use is an alias for my account, so it's the same server name, just a
different username.
The script I'm using is :
:0 : bouncelockfile
* ^Subject: BOUNCE_BACK
|/bin/cat - >tmp_bounce; /bin/cat bouncebackfile tmp_bounce | /usr/sbin/sendmail
`/bin/cat tmp_bounce | /usr/bin/formail -X "" | /u/s/severn/addressscan -f` ; rm
tmp_bounce
The addressscan program is an executable, which when passed the "-f" option,
checks stdin for any lines starting with "From:", and outputs on standard out
anything on those lines which look like an email address.

Nice guess, but no joy. I tried it, with the same result, and it
didn't take anything close to half a minute, so I didn't bother

Date: Wed, 19 May 1999 02:42:18 GMT
I solved my own problem and while I am not sure if anyone is interested
thought that I would post the solution.
It turns out that Cox@home does not explicitly provide the entire name
for their mail server specifying only that "mail" be used for both the
incoming(POP3)and outgoing(SMTP)servers. Machines connected directly to
the cable modem are able to get the full name by executing:
"ping mail"
The entire server name will be shown. If this name is entered in the
appropriate fields of the e-mail program being used for both the
incoming and outgoing mail server it works.

As I found out the hard way. make sure ip forwarding is turned on and if you

If you told the install to build in the IPX protocol you should be able
to connect out of the box. If you didn't then it won't see any Netware
Network at all. I believe the default is to build in IPX support. I
usually take it out since I don't have any Netware machines anymore and
run a tcp/ip network. This may not be your problem I'm just trying to
help and learn.

That's a common sysadmin trap.
The environment (PATH, TERM, HOME, current working directory, etc.)
cron sets up for programs it runs is frequently different
than the environment an interactive shell sets up for programs
it runs. That's an explanation for the different results.
The fix, in many situations, is to
have the program/script set up critical parts
of its own environment, rather than depend on inheriting it.
You may need to modify ppp-on to first set and export
PATH, HOME, etc. before it does its real work.

That's true. If you insmod vfat and the cd is written in both then you
will see longer filenames. But if you must see Rockridge file names on a
cdrom installed in a windows box then you are outside the scope of the
original question! Perhaps a simple and very economic solution is to

Unfortunately, both 3C905 and 3C905b cards are very

For about $15 each or less, get a PCI NetGear FA310TX card
and plug it in.
Compile your Linux kernel for PCI network cards and select:
<*> DECchip Tulip (dc21x4x) PCI support
You will never regret it.
