I don't buy it. I've got a 133 and I want all of those cycles
being used for their intended purpose. Even if I had a 450, I don't want some
rube-goldberg peripheral slowing it down.

> Hmm.. You haven't read the linux/Documentation/Changes file that comes
Oops - sorry, I should have done that. I originally thought I was using
pppd 2.3.5.
Anyway, I've installed 2.3.8 and recompiled the kernel just to be sure.
Still not much change. Output of route and ifconfig as before so I
won't repeat them. Pinging the server address, dns servers, and default
gateway address all works fine. Trying to go further than that, as
before, produces a blank.
There is a "use kernel patch" option for adding a dynamic IP address
option in my rc.config. I've tried this both off and on but it makes
no difference either way. The address doesn't seem to be the problem,
plus I compiled everything into the kernel that looked useful for PPP.
Just thought I'd mention it.
Sorry this is probably getting pretty tedious for you - I can only
reiterate my gratitude for your continuing trouble.
Many thanks once again.
Just for the record, here's the (successful looking to me) log of last
session.

With RH50 if host allows root access ('/') I can read any directory. I
want this. With RH60, I cannot read /usr (or /root and some others). I
-can- read /etc, among others.
If I mount host:/usr as /something, I -can- read /usr. Anyone else seen
this?
/etc/exports:
/ friend(rw)
/usr friend(rw)
commands:
mount host:/ /host <== works, but cannot read /usr,
others
mount host:/usr /host/usr <== works, but only for /usr (of
course)
Yes, I have tried exporting only '/' (removing the /usr line) but still
cannot read /usr (nothing
appears in the directory). All directories and all sub-directories and
files have read permission
for all users and groups.

The latest dhcp is designed for the 2.2.x kernel. If you haven't updated
the kernel yet, that's what you need to do now. (RH 5.2 comes with 2.0.36
I think) Anyway, that's the first thing to check...

It does seem that you haven't updated the kernel yet. Try either getting
the previous version of DHCPc or the newer kernel.

Subject: Question Urgent: Server Configuration?
Date: Thu, 20 May 1999 21:27:16 +0530
Hi,
I am to do a server sizing study as well a TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)
study & other related stuffs, for our client's network. One of them will be
setting up a 1000 user network and another a 327 user network, both
supported by LAN & WAN implementing TCP/IP protocol. The network is
heterogeneous having HP UNIX, Windows NT and Windows 95.
I am supposed to find out the requirements for 4 distinct servers (m/c s) in
each case. They will be
A. Firewall Server
B. DHCP Server
C. Proxy Server
D. Authentication Server.
I am currently planning them for UNIX and WinNT, but I have a distinct
feeling that LINUX will be a better option (lower TCO maybe?). But I am not
sure of the server configuration requirements.
I am not familiar with LINUX, and would be grateful if somebody can help me
out. I have certain query, specially in.
1. What should be the minimum tpmC rating of the server?
2. What would be the memory requirements (RAM)?
3. What would be Hard disk capacity requirements?
4. What are the softwares available for the following? (and in your opinion
which will be the best option?)
a. Firewall
b. for DHCP Server
c. Proxy
d. for Authentication Server
Guess I will have to learn LINUX fast if clients decide to go for it.
I kind of need it urgently as the deadline is only 9 hours away. I will be
checking the newsgroup hourly.
TIA.
Amitabh
PS: Don't mind, I have posted the query to multiple newsgroup, but wanted to
increase chance of getting quick reply( and was not sure exactly where to
post it to).

Use IP masqurading. First, make sure it is enabled in your kernel, and
use ipfwadm or ipchains (depending on kernel version). use man to get
syntax for it.
Oh.. and machines outside your network, will obviously only be able to
ping the IP associated with the modem connection, because the other IP's
are just local IP addresses. :)

This is what I did:
get 3c59x.c from here
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/3c515.c
add this line to the pci_id_info
{"3cSOHO100-TX", 0x10b7, 0x7646, 0xffff,
PCI_USES_IO|PCI_USES_MASTER,
IS_CYCLONE|HAS_NWAY|HAS_CB_FNS,
128, vortex_probe1},
follow these instructions for compiling
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/misc/modules.html
Then if you can ismod it with no errors
do this:
" 3c59x.o to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net/ and
add the following line to /etc/conf.modules:
alias eth0 3c59x
"
Reboot
Should work fine from here on out. Here are the

Many thanks for all of the suggestions of help and config files - you won't
believe what the solution was !
- my chat script waited for a 'ogin:' prompt, got it and replied with
the name
- then waited for a 'ssword:'prompt, got it and replied with the password
- then waited for 'rotocol:' prompt, GOT IT and started my own ppp
Their end was never starting ppp.
It turned out, Demon hadn't set up the requested password ????? It amazed
me that their system even asked for protocol - even their helpdesk said
that it should respond with invalid login if the password was wrong !
Thanks for all of your suggestions and offers of scripts though - I'll have
to put it down to experience ( and catch up with some sleep !).

Subject: DHCP client - works once
Date: Thu, 20 May 1999 10:21:58 -0700
I installed RedHat 5.2 yesterday, setting it up as a DHCP client. It was
working fine. After I did some other installs, I shutdown and it no
longer worked. Thinking I might have broken something, I re-installed.
Again, it worked fine. This morning, it's not there.
The message I see is: "Delaying eth0 initialization"
I tried the X control panel, and selected 'activate' on DCHP, but if I
exit the control panel and restart it, the state has returned to
inactive. I'm connected to an NT DHCP server if that's relevent. I
really don't want to reinstall Linux every morning, does anyone have a
suggestion? [e-mail replies preferred]

The get host by name problem is probably the smb server unable to determine
the name of the LINUX machine. This is a COMMON issue if you are using
dhcp, but you aren't.
Nonetheless, within /etc/smb.conf you can explicitly tell smb what the
machine name is, without having it try to figure out from the OS and its
config files.
There are also MANY other changes you may have to make to smb.conf, I
recommend you take the time to read it through and tweek it on your way
down. :)
