hi,
could anyone tell me - not give me a redirection to HowTo - which command
and how is used to mount a WIN98 Drive through SAMBA 2.03 and SuSE Linux 6.1
with Kernel 2.2.5 on the Linux box. In Win98 i get it all.
i tried smbmount but maybe i have to install first a /dev in fstab? and if
which syntax.
may someone could post me the fstab he is using by his own.

I have at home and work a 384k/384k DSL (Portland, OR) through GTE. I
have been very pleased. My line costs me $54/month to GTE and
$28/month to the ISP. I get a static IP. There have been very little
pains associated with the DSL. GTE has done nearly everything right
and the ISP has done an okay job. We see our ISP's link to the
outside world go down for several minutes at a time many times a week.
Sometimes it is even worse then that. But, all told, the price is
right and the pipe is a good size.
If you live in the Portland, OR metro area, my company is offering a
connectivity solution for small and mid sized businesses using DSL and
Linux. Check it out at http://www.probo.com

Something else to look at is setting up a hosts file on the Windows
machine. Mine is in the C:\windows directory. It is set up just
like the /etc/hosts file on the Linux machine. Make sure all local
machine IP numbers are in all files.

I can't answer for Redhat in particular but in Slackware, my networking
stuff is set up in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1. I'm sure Redhat has something
very similiar.
The following is near the top of the above file:
# Attach the loopback device.
/sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
/sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo

Subject: PPP not working properly on RH 6.0
Date: 27 May 1999 18:31:15 GMT
OK here's a problem for you, first some background:
Redhat 6.0
Generic Rockwell RPI 56K modem
AMD K6-II 400, BX chipset MB
Now I have setup my PPP connection using both KPPP and Netcfg as per all
the mans/how-tos, and the walkthrough for Linux for my provider at
Http://www.webzone.net
Here is the problem.
I Dial-up (sometimes I get modem response immediatly, sometimes it takes >
30 secs.) my isp, it connects and starts through authentication. Then,
either it drops connection within 25 sec. (I know a possible RPI Mod.
Problem), or in the case of KPPP, after authenticating, it comes up and
says that my system tried launching PPPD prior to my ISP being ready for
it to launch.
Sometimes the connection does last longer than 25 sec., but whenever I try
to go somewhere by any means there is constant stalling and restarting of
the link (especially obvious in Netscape, took 2 hrs. to connect to
Linux.org or Linux.com). Also I do know that that problem is not due to
phone-lines or ISP as I did not have that problem in (dare I say it?)
Windows OS's (I had to test the connection).
I have had this exact modem working with RH 5.1 on a Cyrix 200 system. Is
this an RPI problem, and if so what did they change in 6.0 that caused it
to surface?
THanks for your time and patience.

Is it a PnP card? If so, you will probably need to use a combination of
isapnp and setserial to get it working. If it is not PnP, then after you
have the board configured (for irq & i/o addresses) you will probably need
to use setserial.
I use both isapnp and setserial for my TurboCom high speed serial port.
YMMV

Hello everyone,
I'm a newbie in Linux. We already have the DNS primary server running
in NT 4.0 right now. But, I'm thinking of geting a secondary DNS
server as a backup. So, right now.. I want the Primary DNS running in
NT and the secondary DNS will be running in Linux. The question is..
how to setup the secondary DNS in Linux?
Thanks in advance for those who really help me to solve this problem.

It most likely is a winmodem, almost all internal PCI modems are.
As you seem to know, winmodems don't work with Linux.

The user nobody at 4:00am is just for "cron"

"man cron","man crontab".
So, nothing fringhtening about that.
For the other entries, I don't know.
Have you tried a reverse DNS on the IP where the attacks _seems_
to come from ? You could send a mail at "root@<this ip>" explaining
what happenned to you. Be careful that it might just been a facked
IP, and therefore stay polite...

Yes, download the update ASAP. We were up on the net for only 8 hours
before we were hacked. They came in through the wu-ftp that shipped
with RedHat 5.2. They got root access and went on to cause other
havoc, and it took them only 30 mins to do the whole thing.

A suggestion on how to start. Run ifconfig and netstat -nr before trying
telnet and then after to see what has changed.
This will tell you if your link is going down or if your routing is getting
clobbered somehow.

Well I could be wrong but I want to do a caching name server so I think the
nameserver should be me (I'm running bind) then my host will ask the root
servers for the IP the first time and after that it will be cached in my host.
I'm I right? Any input on this anyone?

By the way, does anybody know how to set the modem/server to callback with
