This may well be the "correct" behaviour, with knfsd following Sun's
specs more closely than unfsd.

I suggest to have a detailed look to /var/log/messages to
see if cardmgr correclty loads the needed driver (I had
a problem with a Wavelan/IEEE on a PCMCIA PC104 controller;
cardmgr didn't correctly recognized the card - due to an
hardware conflict).

Wow! Someone cheaper than I am.
Yes, it should work. There will be some performance hit, but it should be
relatively small, assuming 10Mbit. 100Mbit would probably be a significant
performance hit.

Subject: Linux as alternative to Ghost/DriveImage? dd?
Date: Fri, 28 May 1999 15:41:40 GMT
Hello,
Q: Can I use linux to create/copy(/install) a Win95/98/NTwks image over
the network?
I have a school lab of 15 pentiums. I have convinced the admin to allow
dual boot between win95 & Linux (redhat 6.0). At the moment we are planning
to use Ghost to slam down identical configs on all the machines. This will
be done as need, but probably twice a month on each machine.
I see the "dd" command and think there must be some way to grab and
compress a vfat partition or file structure, and send it to a server. Then,
assuming the linux partitions are safe and stable, when Windows needs a
reinstall, use linux to download the image, expand it and setup any boot
issues.
I have looked for 30 minutes on dejanews, but can't seem to even get
any good keywords ("linux (win95 or win98) dd" or "linux drive image
win95"...).
Any suggestions for search words or man pages would be appreciated.
TIA

Hi,
I would like to telnet into a Linux machine (RH 6.0) at work from a
Win98 machine at home using dialup at home. I can't figure out how to
allow my home machine access as the ISP I use dynamically assigns IPs.
This is undoubtedly in a faq somewhere, but I can't find it.
Incidently, I still haven't been able to get another machine on the same
network to telnet in either, (telnetd: All ports in use) but I'm sure I
can get that bit fixed myself...I think...
Cheers,
Danny.

with protman -stuff, and token ring, this seems to me to be a typical
ibm-lan-network, NOT novell netware. ibm-lan, i think i remember, used
netbeui, and i think you could setup samba to serve netbeui - have not
tried it myself.
maybe someone already told you, there is a ms-dos client for (
originally) nt-servers downloadable from ms itself, features netbeui and
tcpip.

Yes, I think it should work. You can try either a bridging
configuration (I haven't done Linux bridging myself, and I
am not sure what the status of IP bridging code in recent
Linux kernels is), or routing, playing with netmasks and
host routes. However, note that, unlike hubs and switches,
Linux does store-and-forward, i.e. first receives the whole
Ethernet frame, then analyses the headers and sends, if
appropriate. This means that the latency will be quite
bad, especially between nodes far apart.

Subject: Re: DOS Clipper program with Linux
Date: Fri, 28 May 1999 14:25:05 GMT
My suggestion is to run a small Linux version (i.e. Debian) on each of the
386's and telnet into the server. Once the telnet connection is up and
running, there is a MS-DOS emulator program that can be run that will
provide the user with a 'C' prompt. The emulator program is DOSEmu and
comes with most Linux distributions or can be obtained from www.dosemu.org.
Clipper programs run right nice and will run about 50 times faster than you
are currently experiencing (will run at the speed of the server as no code
is being transfered over the network to the workstation, just 'screen'
presentations). KAS

Are you running the 2.2 series kernel? If so, you'll need to use

I've seen this problem too (on a 6.1 Suse box running 2.2.9).
Those echo's help speed things up, but it looks like there are
still reACK's taking a bite out of throughput.

A quick peek at a packet dump made me think it was a problem
with unrecognized ACKs from 2.2.9's stack to the other side (so
it would wait, then resend the data, maybe a few times). Now
it looks like the same thing is happening, but the wait for
retry is shorter.

Forget it. kdebug is rarely useful and clutters up the log file
Use the

Why do you say that?
My suspicion is taht that they actually do not want you to log in but to
run PAP/CHAP before login.
Ie, terminate the scrpt with
ATD7528500 CONNECT '\d\c'
and then look for a <auth pap> or <auth chap> request in the messages

I assume you are trying to access Window shares from your Linux box. If
you are in a Windows NT domain, make sure that you are a valid user on the
domain. Most NT domains don't have a user named root. Here's an
example: Say on the windows NT network, your username is 'JDoe', and you
want to access the share 'doestuff' on a server called 'server1', which is
in a workgroup called 'domain1'. You are going to mount the filesystem in
the directory on the Linux box '/home/jdoe/mnt/doestuff' .Here is what you
would type:
'smbmount \\\\server1\\doestuff -c 'mount /home/jdoe/mnt/doestuff' -U JDoe
-W domain1'
Now what you have to do is substitute in all of your information. Sorry
if this doesn't make sense.
