Hokay, folks, I solved my own problem, once I considered that maybe
the difficulty was on the NT side and checked MSDN.
Dr. Scheer is correct: I didn't have SAMBA set to deal with encrypted
passwords. Under RedHat 5.2, the default is for SAMBA to expect
cleartext. But you can set it to use encrypted passwords (the details
are in the man pages and a couple of ancillary txt files, notably
ENCRYPTED.txt). Apparently, RH6 sidesteps this problem when you
install SAMBA because it asks you if you want to set it up to use
encrypted passwords.
The problem is that Windows NT 4, starting with service pack 3, will
only transmit encrypted passwords when it tries to bring up a SAMBA
connection. So, if you're not set to handle encrypted passwords in
SAMBA, you're plum out of luck... until you turn them on.

I have a linux machine acting as a gateway to the internet for a small
lan. The way it works for me is that the linux machine is cofigured
to enable ip masquerading (I had to recompile the kernel to do this).
All the (windows) machines on the lan have bogus ip addresses
(192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.4). The linux box has a bogus address
on the lan, too (actually the linux box is 192.168.1.1) This address
is assigned to the ethernet adapter eth0. But the machine also has a
real internet address from my ISP. This real address corresponds to
the ppp0 interface on the linux machine. This makes the linux box a
dual-homed host. I told all the windows machines that their gateway
to the internet is at 192.168.1.1. I told them that their domain name
server is the one that my ISP gave me. You could also tell the
windows machines that the linux box is their DNS, but then you have to
tell the linux box to provide that service. It's your call. Anyway,
That's all you really have to do. Obviously I'm leaving out a lot of
details. After you recompile the kernel, you have to tell the linux
box which packets to masquerade, etc. This is just a sketch. I got
most of this from a book called _ The Linux Network_ by Butzen and
Hilton.
But anyway, the way masquerading works is that the dual homed host
forwards all outgoing packets. But before it does that it strips out
the return address and substitutes its own. It also uses a unique
port number. When a packet comes back,the linux box uses the port
number to decide which machine on the lan was the original sender.
So, the machines on the lan never know that they are masquerading, and
the machines out on the internet never know either. And your ISP
won't know. (And shouldn't care anyway as far as I can see) Don't
get me wrong, your ISP could probably figure it out if they wanted,
but I don't think they would bother.
One thing about masquerading like this is that not every service can
be masqueraded. For example, I don't think ping can be masqueraded.
Or traceroute. But http and ftp work fine. Good luck!

Hello!
One suggestion:
If 192.0.0.0 network is not given to you by your ISP you should consider
changing your Ip numbers to the "private" range of address (192.168.0.0 -
192.168.255.255).
I'll try to explain why I think it's a good idea. Let's say you are
maquareding your network to the Internet and trying to browse web server
which Ip number is assinged by ISP and is in 192.0.0.X range. You will not
be able to get to this server, cause your router will route everything in
192.0.0.x range locally.
Good luck!

The file /etc/ftpaccess controls who can use FTP and how. I would
recommend $man ftpaccess for the details of what the various options

Naming convention has nothing to do with gateways, but it's up to you how
you want to name your subnets.
I would do the following:
1) Let's say my domain name is mydomain.com, and I have two offices that I
want to subnet.
2) I would name my first subdomain office1, then all nodes on this domain
will have names similar to host1.office1.mydomain.com.
3) names of hosts in office2: host1.office2.mydomain.com
Also if you want to eleminate traffic across routers, move local domains to
the top of search order in your /etc/resolv.conf (on Unix, Linux machines).

If this were the only rule that ipfwadm had in place, it would be half
right.
But if there are other rules that implement masquerading that appear before
this one (which you just added at the end of the rule list), then the new
rule
will not be effective. This is a result of the way ipfwadm processes
packets:
it stops looking at the rules when the first match occurs.
As a separate matter, the rule you have tried to use will only record info
on packets outbound from the indicated address. To catch all the ones that
come back, you may have to add a rule that matches only the destination as
well.

Subject: Re: Linux as router for 2 NT subnets ?
Date: Sat, 22 May 1999 23:25:28 -0700
Hello!
In order for Windows TCP to work for windows networking it needs NETBIOS to
be transfered over IP, so you need netbios resolution of some kind (lmhosts
or WINS).
You can enable wins via samba on Linux machine and point all your WIndows
hosts to that WINS server.
Or you can istall wins server on NT server and point hosts from both subnets
to that wins server (since tcp services work you will be able to resolv ip
address to netbios names).
Good luck!
