Respectfully, I'd suggest also putting a startup/shutdown script in
init.d, with the obvious symlinks in rc1.d and rc2.d for kill and
start. That way, smbd and nmbd will startup again the next time you
reboot. Someone else earlier suggested using webmin instead of swat;
webmin includes a module for adding such startup/shutdown scripts, if
you're not comfortable doing it manually.

Subject: ftp: can't PUT files under debian "slink"
Date: Mon, 17 May 1999 13:16:08 +0200
Hello everybody!
I just set up the newest debian-linux-release "slink".
ppp-connection is set up by using the 'pppconfig'-tool. Chat is used
for communication with the modem (which is a very old one, just 19200
b/s is recommended ).
dialing in is done by the 'wvdial'-tool. Connection to my provider is
o.k., telnet to any remote machine works well so far.
Problems accured using ftp: Getting files works pretty well. But: trying
to PUT files doesn't work: ftp starts gives message that it is
transfering the file, and then nothing happens.
Then I logged on the remote machine via telnet, to have a look at the
directory, where the 'put-file' should be: A glimps at the listing
showed me my desired file with zero size, and it didn't come up for
minutes of transfer.
Maybe this problem is connected to anotherone, observed trying
'netscape': When opening a url first the message is given "connected to
xyz", but further downloading the page doesn't work: The rate of the
incomming binary packages goes asymptotic to zero.
Is there anybody to help me in this metaphysic problem?
Thanks & Regards

Yes, the log shows that novj must have been present when it was generated.
Moreover you've done something that I didn't realize was possible, you
caused pppd to reject the "asyncmap" requested by the peer. On reviewing
man pppd for ppp-2.3.8 it seems that the pppd default-asyncmap option
must have been used to do that. I don't know what possible reason one
could have to configure for this, although I'll certainly admit there
might be one. But not likely in any ordinary ISP connection.

As remarked above these aren't the only options in effect when the log

Of course you didn't set up to do any peer authentication either.

The most notable things missing in the log are messages showing that you
authenticated yourself to the ISP using PAP or CHAP, messages not likely
to be entirely removed simply because of the pppd hide-password option.
Unless you do a chat scripted login/password then the ISP must have
been sorely perplexed, but not so much as to let you pass any traffic
through it.
If you do do a chat login/password, or simply cut out the authentication
messages, then there's not much else to say except that there were some
unusual options, the default-asyncmap option being particularly notable.

If you read through the diald documentation, the first couple of
requests to the outside network get lost. This may be the problem
Eudora is experiencing.
You don't mention which version of diald you are using. I am
using version 0.16.5 I believe. There are later versions but
I could not get then to compile. I believe the version numbers
are something like 0.98.2 and 0.98.3 the last time I checked.
Supposedly, these later version will overcome the above problem.
At least that is what I believe.
Unfortunately, I don't have a URL for you to use. I would think
any search engine should get you there though.
Another possibility is the demand dialling function of pppd.
Versions of pppd above 2.3.0 include this. I think the most
recent version is 2.3.8.
The above may not help but at least it is something to look in
to.

Hello.
I tried to compile a setup utility from Donald Becker for my 3c509
ethernet card on my RedHat 6.0 system, but I got the following:
gcc -O -o 3c5x9setup 3c5x9setup.c
In file included from 3c5x9setup.c:27:
/usr/include/linux/in.h:109: parse error before`sa_family_t'
/usr/include/linux/in.h:109: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or
union
/usr/include/linux/in.h:116: parse error before `}'
I also have a 5.1 box on which the utility compiles fine.
The in.h from the 6.0 machine has the same version number as the one
from the 5.1 machine but the files are not the same.
Does anyone know what has happened?
(I would have included the files in question but I suspect that whoever
has the knowledge to investigate this will also have access to the
files. If not, please mail me and I'll send them to you)

ip-aliases is in recent 2.0 kernels. In 2.2 you can use additional addresses
on one interface. This can be done with "ip" from iproute2 tools.
ifconfig supports it only for ipv6 addresses (ifconfig eth0 add <prefix>)

Problem: Both Apache and Rodger-Wilco can't be connected to by the
Internet. My LAN can though. Rodger-Wilco is just a little app that
people can talk to each other with. Kinda like a simple Internet
Telephone program, but meant for use with games. Anyways, these are the
only two servers that I use that are not started by Inetd and they are
the only ones that the internet can't connect to. I'm not really sure if
the problem lies in the config of Apache, as rodger-wilco hasn't really
been tested, or if it's some network configuration in Linux.
Basic Config: RH 5.2 on a box with a cable modem to NIC and 2nd NIC to
LAN. I'm using IP-masquerading with no problems using the simplest of
rule sets. I don't have any firewall protection, so that shouldn't be
getting in the way.

Recently, I've been having problems connecting to the internet under

I have a dual-boot Windows 95/Linux (Redhat 5.0) system, and my Windows
system has no problems connecting. However, recently the connection has
stopped working under Linux, and I don't have a clue why.
A netstat -rn gives me:

You will have to go into the /use/src/linux/drivers/net
find your card name and edit the source
then recompile the kernel enless you load your NIC and a module
Then run make modules
make modules install
and restart the module

One of the main things that kept screwing me up is that the various files
rea located in different places in the different Linux distributions. I
had to search around a lot for the smb.conf and inetd.conf, etc. I don't
think I'm a guru by any stretch of the imagination, but I'll hellp if I
can - please email me directly and I'll try to give you a step-by-step of
what I've done so far.

I finally found at least a workaround to my dns problem...
the 2.0.36 kernel works great for me with ADSL. Obviously
something has changed in networking between the 2.0.36 kernel
and the 2.2.x versions. Maybe when I get a little more
ambitious, I'll dig through the changelogs for the 2.2.x
kernel, and start using it, but for now, the older stable
kernel does everything I need.
BTW, for those of you with ATI All-in-wonder or All-in-wonder Pro
cards, I found a program that does TV display from my All-in-wonder
card. It is Gatos. I believe it's still alpha, but it works
great on my box. You'll find thier homepage at
http://www.core.binghamton.edu/~insomnia/gatos/
