I tried installing Red Hat Linux v6.0 on a Pentium PC for the first
time.
I made scripts for PPP as shown on manual, but couldn't make it.
The error messages from /var/log/messages are
modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-21
modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-26
modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-24
How can I fix it and make PPP connection ? Your help would be greatly
appreciated.

Hi,
I need some help please/..
I am setting up my system to log on the internet every 3 hours and
execute sendmail and fetchmail to send and recieve my email and then
distribute it others users as well..
I am using the system wide crontab file for the schduling..
The problem I am facing now. is how can I make my internet connection
close after the mail has been downloaded.
Is there a way it can disconnect if there is no activity ? or as soon
as sendmail and fetchmail finsih it disconects.. ? I can figure out how
to manage that. I dont want to set a time limit for disconnection
because we could recieve large files sometimes and may need more time to
download than other days.. ( ISP charges for time online.. therefore i
want to the computer to be online just enough so it may download the
mail and then disconect..
Thanks.

What did I miss? I've read every HOW-TO on PPP. As you can see from
the log I've got pppd configured, as far as I can tell my ISP doesn't
use the form of authentication that my script below uses. Do i simply
need to send my ISP a BREAK to get the prompt that I keep hearing
about. When I use minicom to dial, as soon as I get the CONNECT it
starts writing a bunch of stuff like in the log below. A carriage
return won't break you out.
I really think I'm just not understanding what my ISP is doing, my old
ISP I remember used Xylogics switches and they would prompt for a login:
passwd: this just throws out the protocol.. *grin* i guess...
Log below...
Thanks.. Mike

1. IP masquerading is a simple form of a NAT (network address translation).
It allows for a network to appear as 1 host to another network. Mostly used
to allow a private network with non-internet-routable IPs to share a single
internet
routable IP.
2. IP forwarding allows the system to act as a router, passing on IP packets
that
have a different destination. IP forwarding is required with IP
masquerading.
3. Port forwarding operates at the TCP level rather than the IP level.
It forwards all request to a port (i.e. IP:80) to another system and/or
port.
This allows a system to sit behind a firewall and still provide services
that are
reachable from the internet.

/etc/profile is the system-wide profile which _everybody_ runs.
try setting the executable (+x) permission for /root/.profile
(I'm not sure if this is needed, but it shouldn't hurt if it isn't)
hope this helps,

the smbmount command changed entirely. Smbmount will now ask for your
username and passwd (if you didn't specify it at the command prompt) and
then leave you at a prompt
just type the mount command at this prompt ex: to mount a wfw share on mount
point /net:
smb> mount /net
You will then recieve the normal linux prompt once again and your wfw share
will be mounted on /net
Hope this helps ;o)

The "garbage" characters above are not those I'd expect from a PPP
implementation but the three second repetition interval suggests that
this is the case.
One thing you should do is to replace the chat expect/send CONNECT ''
with CONNECT '\d\c' which inserts a one-second delay and suppresses
the carriage return that's otherwise sent and sometimes confuses an
ISP.
You can configure for PAP authentication which is very common among ISPs;
you'll need to remove the chat login/password expect sends for this but
keeping the CONNECT expect/send suggested above. Add the pppd option
"name Your_ISP_Login_Name" and configure a /etc/ppp/pap-secrets with
the single line
Your_ISP_Login_Name * Your_ISP_Password
with the obvious substiutions. Copy /etc/ppp/pap-secrets to
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets and you've configured for CHAP as well.

That errno field in a structure should be renamed to something else
as there is a #define errno somewhere in the headers.
Also, version 0.16 needs up to patch level 5 before it compiles on redhat
system. You'll run into other problems, too if you don't.
Look at the contrib.redhat.com see if there is a rpm version you can
download. It has been there fore ages, including patch level 5.
Also check http://diald.unix.ch for the current (I thing) home page for diald.

Subject: Are two NIC:s better than one...?
Date: Mon, 31 May 1999 10:16:27 +0200
At home I have the following setup
A Linux-machine running as file and printer-server and cable modem. This
machine is in a closet so I need to display X to the other ones.
A Win NT machine at which I work. So to this machine I want a fast
connection.
I also have a laptop and printer connected to the network. These two (and the
hub) are 10Mb.
The question is whether I will gain from having a dedicated 100Mb (hubless)
connection between the Linux and the Win NT machine. It's too expensive to go
100Mb all the way. Will I notice any difference between a 10Mb and 100Mb
network? I'm usually the anly one loading the network. It will also take some
extra cabling across the apartment..
Regards
/Stefan

Subject: Re: ipmasqadm HELP

Yeah I saw that. The following TCP ports on the firewall must be open:
8995 - 11000
28800 - 28900
My ipchains setup is as follows:
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0
I don't do anything else with incoming or outgoing packets. I am assuming that
if you don't deny, then the ports are open. Is that correct?
By the way, I could see these connections being made using ipchains -M -L.
If I have to explicitly do autofw for these ports, my script would be:
ipmasqadm autofw -F
ipmasqadm autofw -A -r udp 2300 2400 -c tcp 47624
ipmasqadm autofw -A -r tcp 2300 2400 -c tcp 47624
ipmasqadm autofw -A -r tcp 8995 11000 -c tcp 47624
ipmasqadm autofw -A -r tcp 28800 28900 -c tcp 47624
Maybe I'll give this a try and see if it works any better.

This smacks of some kind of problems with your script headers. The FIRST
THING that your script must output should be: (perl extract)
print 'Content-type: text/html\n\n';
Notice the two '\n' characters. These two linefeeds must be present. If you
have already done this, then check your apache logs. They should be in
/var/log/httpd or similar. There should be a file called error.log or
something. Apache generously logs all such errors, so this should give you a
lead.
If the log says something like "could execute myscript.pl", check that your
path to the perl libraries in the script are correct, by typing
which perl
this should produce output like
/usr/bin/perl
but its not the same on all systems!! With the output above, the first line
in your script should read
#!/usr/bin/perl
Failing all this, zip your script and apache error log up and mail them to
me and I'll try to have a look at them.

I got that when I first started. It was because I was trying to log in as
"root". What you have to do is make a new account on the Linux box and log
into that. Then, once you're logged on, type "su". It will ask you for the
password to the "root" account. Type that in and you're free to do whatever
you want on the system....
