Subject: Need help with IPMasquerade and Net2Phone
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Luiz Otavio L. Zorzella)
Date: 23 May 1999 12:59:57 -0700
Hi,
I have a Win 95 inside a private LAN (ppp) that I set up with ip
masquerading.
To start, I had only one very simple rule:
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.10.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
Everything works fine: www, ftp, etc. Then I installed net2phone
(http://www.net2phone.com), and I'm trying to make it work.
While seting up, net2phone makes a "Test for firewall", and fails in
this test. I set up 2 specific rules for net2phone, then:
ipfwadm -F -a m -b -P udp -S 192.168.10.51 10000 -D 0.0.0.0/0 10000
ipfwadm -F -a m -b -P tcp -S 192.168.10.51 10000 -D 0.0.0.0/0 10000
ipfwadm -F -a m -b -P icmp -S 192.168.10.51 10000
and I configured net2phone to use the 10000 port number (it can be
configured to anything you want, according to their website). The test
still fails.
I tcpdumped both by eth0 (private LAN) and ppp0 (internet) while doing
the test, and I think the problem comes in this line from my ppp0,
though I don't know exactly what to do:
12:45:31.461066 169.132.184.211.46869 > w.x.y.z.6613: udp 55 (DF)
12:45:31.461066 w.x.y.z > 169.132.184.211: icmp: w.x.y.z udp port 6613 unreachable
[tos 0xc0]
Any help is appreciated. Please note that I made a "global replace" of
my firewall IP address by w.x.y.z in the dumps, and a replace of my
internal machine by internal.mydomain.com. Forgive my paranoia... :^>
Follows the traffic generated in the test, as seen by tcpdump in both
interfaces:

The only purpose of the "control case" is to indicate that the server

No response to ping, no response to telnet.

Configured it, and when I tried to download newsgroups, I got a

>Does your News server require username/password authentication?
Not in any of my other news clients. In any event, I should still be
able to at least ping it.

Subject: Re: with ipchains cannot login via xdm window
Date: 23 May 1999 13:06:57 -0700
I have found the problem: it was caused NOT by the ipchains but
related to my attempt to install the "ssh" along with it.
It happens, that the /etc/X11/Xsession script checks for existence of the
ssh-agent. If it exists, but does not work cleanly, than your xsession
is broken.
So, I have renamed the ssh-agent (until better times) and xdm/login works
great as before.
Zenon
PS. But there was no clear debugging information what was going on, so
I had problems to localize what was broken.

Subject: What is possible using PPP?
Date: Sun, 23 May 1999 22:32:24 +0100
Dear Friends,
I am involved in IS Security and I am wondering what is possible
using PPP. I am running Redhat 5.2 and am connected to my ISP from home
using PPP which is enabled from the netcfg facility. I would like to be
able to monitor protocol access to and from the CyberGuard firewall I am
responsibe for. At the moment using the sniffit protocol sniffer I can
only see the results of my own IP address querying the firewall. Is
there a way of monitoring other traffic (other than TCP back to myself,
after say a Telnet command) at the firewall? I guess what I am saying
is, is there a way of remotely looking at other TCP handshaking SYN,
ACK, SYN from other net users and the company firewall?
Kind Regards
Frank

Subject: DHCPCD and lease renewel error
Date: Sun, 23 May 1999 13:05:11 -0700
This is a cryptographically signed message in MIME format.
==============ms356685A420E7CE567E3115F2
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
The problem:
DHCPCD is failing to renew the lease from the server. When the client
starts to renew (dhcpd[pid]: got in RENEWING state) I get the error
(dhcpd[pid]: sendto (renewing): operation not permitted). After
searching dejanews and the various FAQ's and HOWTO's, I have found that
several other people (not many) have had the problem, but no one has
posted a solution.
The background:
I recently installed a USWest digital phone/cable line. I am using a
RedHat box as a firewall and gateway to the local machines which are on
192.168.x.x. The firewall/gateway box runs dhcpcd-0.65-3 on eth0 to the
uswest service, while the internal network is served on eth1 using a
separate network card. The kernel is 2.0.36 (upgraded from a 5.1
distribution) and thus the ipfwadm system is used. The basic rules were
taken from David Ranch's TrinityOS setup. The firewall is setup to allow
incoming traffic on eth0 from port 67 to port 68 (bootp traffic = DHCP)
only and I am not getting any deny or rejected packets.
The sendto error appears to be from sendmail. I am not running the
sendmail daemon. Is this causing the resultant error message from the
DHCPCD client?

Subject: Installing an External TA(modem) on RedHat 5.1 (help needed)
Date: Sun, 23 May 1999 20:49:07 +0200
Hi,
I do have a problem geting an external ISDN TA running on my Linux
system.
It's a RedHat 5.1 and a Zyxel omni.data.
I did bought it because I was told it could run on Unix so it also
should run on Linux.
(Most External TA can be configured just as a plain modem)
The modem does work correctly I've tested it on a Windows 95 system.
I can get the ppp0 connection up under Linux.
Here is the ifconfig output
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0

Just looks fine to me
I also can ping 194.159.226.43
then packages are sent out but aren't recieved.
So I did take a look at the route configuration.
I'll type it over here.
Destenation Gateway Genmask Flags Metrics Ref Use Iface

10.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
Plain simply a missing default route.
I've tried to set the default route several ways.
But all do hang the route configuration
When I after it type route to see the configuration I do only
get the first line with Destenation etceteras.
It doesn't return to the prompt.
I've tried to set it using the route command directly.
Tried it by setting the defaultroute option.
The Strange thing is before the ISDN adaptor I used a plain old analoge
modem.
I did not had any net configuration problems with that.
So I don't asume that is the problem.
PPP-HOWTO does say this but i simpy don't beleave it.
At the moment I do use minicom to make the connection.
and then do a
pppd -d -detach /dev/modem &
to get the pppd conection.
My Provider uses the PAP authentification methode.
(demon.nl)
Also I do have a static IP number.
With my analog modem I did use a login script in stead of PAP.
WHO DOES KNOW WHAT IS WRONG ?
Or where do I have to look at next ?

Hi all:
I noticed that lately I could not ping icq servers and tracerouted to its
destination. This happens for all the icq servers I know. It causes
problem in Licq where it periodically updates information via the pinging
mechanism. Anyone knows a solution?
Thanks

er if it is a single machine with both os on it, well what is there
to network ? I must of missed something.
Me ? I just threw my windows drive onto my linux box and access it
directly. You might notice from the headers on this message I am
using Free Agent (running under linux via wine) to post this. I
found running windows apps without windows to be helpfull.
:-)
Oh yes there is something about mounting a windows file system via
linux - that would work if you are talking about a single computer
and wanting to access both partions.

Almost. man cp
And if you are used to things like Norton Commander. Install Midnight
Commander. mc.

ps and kill may then help...

In the /doc (or D:\doc :-) on the install-cd.

In the /doc (or D:\doc :-) on the install-cd. Or better, installed on
the machine. /usr/doc/* normally.

Mount the cd (Oh no.. how do you do that.. 'linuxconf' maybe),
then 'cd RedHat', then 'cd RPMS', then 'ls how*'.
* howto-5.2-2.noarch.rpm
* howto-html-5.2-2.noarch.rpm
something like the two above will pop up.
do a 'rpm -ivh howto-5.2-2.noarch.rpm'
and a 'rpm -ivh howto-html-5.2-2.noarch.rpm'
(and while you are there, install lynx and Midnight Commander (mc*))
> OH no. Here we go again.
Right. No mount on the cd? Runnig X? try 'glint'. Oh no. not that.
Well.. As long as it was a fresh install, and no need to worry. Do
the install again, and when given to 'install or update', choose
'update'.
And install whatever you miss.
Repeat until done...
