Subject: NFS exportfs in Redhat 6.0 broken
Date: Fri, 21 May 1999 16:41:36 -0600
We have just installed Redhat 6.0 right from the CD on ALR 6x6 with
2*PPRO and 3 Adaptec SCSI cards and two 18GB disks, with couple
4 to 9GB filesystems. We need to export filesystems to another Intel
box running Redhat 5.2, a SUN Sparcenter Solaris 2.6, and SGI Power
Challenge IRIX 6.2.
Exporting the usual way (line in /etc/exports)
/test host.domain.edu(rw)
and mounting on the IRIX box named host.domain.edu gives
"Permission denied" for no good reason.
OK so exporting to world, changing line in /etc/exports on Redhat 6.0
/test (rw)
mount on the IRIX box says "unknown error"
Trying to mount on the Redhat5.2 box works, but even if the mount
command on Redhat box thinks it is mounted (rw), any write attempt
gives "read-only" filesystem.
I did not get around to mounting on the Solaris box. The Redhat 6.0 box
is unusable anyway. I do not have another Redhat 6.0 to try but that is
irrelevant. I need to exportfs to Redhat 5.2 and IRIX 6.2
I can only conclude that NFS is broken in Redhat 6.0 Anyone has seen
that or has a hint what to do? I called Redhat, they said this is not
installation question, and suggested I read HOWTO. Nothing relevant
there though. Thanks for any help.

Hello,
I've got Suse Linux. Samba was installed. I've downloaded the new
samba version and have installed it normally with ./configure and
'make install'.
It has installed it into /usr/local/samba. Correct
But Suse did install it into /usr/var/samba and also in /usr/bin
directly...
uninstalling samba thanks to Suse installation (YaST) did not remove
the previous version.
What shall I do to remove it ?
Thanks,

Make sure the modem is using compression and error correction.
Otherwise try the pppd CCP options: bsdcomp, deflate, predictor1.
Be aware that pppd and the peer may have no common CCP algorithm
due to the fact that some are "patented" and so can't be legally
implemented in pppd.

Date: Sat, 22 May 1999 01:36:32 +0200
Hi to all,
thanks for reading this.
Maybe my question is silly, but I'm rather new with networking under
Linux...
My Linux box (P200 mmx & RedHat 5.2 updated for Kernel 2.2.7) works as
host for 3 different nets : my DMZ, internet and a local tcpip amateur
net (intranet via radio links)
For internet is all ok, it's works as client.
For the DMZ is the server and all is okay.
For the other net (44.0.0.0) there's a problem : I want to use an unique
ip address to be me gateway for this net, but the kernel doesn't not
allow this.
With kernel 2.0.36 I used :
route add -net 44.0.0.0 gw 44.134.161.148
And all worked well...
Now with kernel 2.2.7 it says me "invalid argument". But I need that all
ip of 44.0.0.0 go through 44.134.161.148 !!!
How can I resolve this ??
Thanks again, and sorry for my poor english, Matteo

IRQ 9 is IRQ 2 (for all practical purposes.)
The I/O error means something else is using that
I/O space. Try the command
/sbin/setserial /dev/cua2
Be sure you don't have any ppp processes going
by typeing
ps ax
and looking for chat, pppd or anything else that
makes the resource busy.
Good luck.

The 3c509 cards have a "feature" in them that allows for safe
probing. Thus, as a general rule of thumb, the IO
parameters usually are not required in conf.modules.
The exceptions are when there are two or more network cards
in the computer.

Subject: Passing ethernet details to kernel
Date: Sat, 22 May 1999 01:06:14 +0100
As you're going to be able to tell, I'm fairly new to networking with
Linux. I have just managed to get Linux to recognise my NE2000
compatible Netgear EA201 Ethernet card by passing 'ether=10,0x240,eth0'
to the kernel every time I boot. This presents obvious annoyances, and I
would like to know where I declare those values in the setup to get
Linux to do it itself.
Regards,
Tim.

The driver does not support io override when configured as a module. See the
data at:
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/3c509.html
If you really need to override the io selection, then you will need to compile
the driver into the kernel.
Hope the reference page will help you.

Thanks for the advice Bro', already tried that though. I never did figure
what the heck was wrong with diald or my machine. I even upgraded pppd,
compiled and installed kernel 2.2.9 and the bugger still didn't work. I
gave up. Then I turned to trusy Perl and wrote a script in about an hour
that would do what I needed. Should've done that from the start but
figured that installing a couple of rpms would be easier than using the
brain. Perl is literally always the answer.

I have a HOW-TO partially constructed that explains just how to set it all
up. It should still be on the news server if you search for linux in the
headers, otherwise I'll repost it. I'll probably be doing work on it
tomorrow so it will be after that.
To quickly answer your question, you can use either PAP (username and
password in pap-secrets file) or a chat script that checks for Username.
Here's the secret. If the dial-in server gets a carriage return, it will
provide the prompt. Otherwise, you can use PAP automatically by dropping
off the end of your chat script. The last line in your script should look
for "CONNECT" in that case, but the line should be:
CONNECT '\c'
That way, no carriage return is sent. If you just put an empty string after
connect, a carriage return is sent and PAP only works about half the time.
The other half you get a wierd error in /var/log/messages:
Connection terminated.
Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean:
Problem: all had bit 7 set to 0
That basically means that the username prompt happened to come up when pppd
tried to send the PAP information.
I would highly recommend PAP. It's a more robust method than responding to
prompts, and it's really easy to set up.

Subject: Re: Help with NFS export to SunOS 5.6
Date: Sat, 22 May 1999 03:06:05 +0300
Same here: RedHat 6.0 did not export to Solaris and error
messages were the same. In
ftp://ftp.varesearch.com/pub/support/hjl/knfsd
I found knfsd-1.3.2.tar.gz where it says, in file NEW, that
*WARNING: The NFS servers in Linux 2.2 to 2.2.8 are not compatible with
*other NFS client implemenations. If you plan to use Linux 2.2.x as an
*NFS server for non-Linux NFS clients, you should apply the patches
*enlosed here.
RH6 has Kernel 2.2.5-15, and is thus broken (or at least for us needing
Solaris compatibility: nfs with RH5.2 seems to work). I followed the
instructions at the end of NEW (make, make install) although in
INSTALL there were some cryptic warnings against this. Then I
replaced my nfs and netfs (in /etc/rc.d/init.d) with the rc.nfsd and
rc.nfsfs
(in knfsd-1.3.2/etc), respectively (changed the names, also). And now
mounting to Solaris works, although Linux now says "svc: unknown
program 100227 (me 100003)" when Solaris mounts!
I should warn that I am new to Linux and the box I am working with is
not in production yet. So I could do the above even though I had no
idea what I was doing and whether I broke something that I will regret
later.

Reijo
