Hmmm. I have 2.0.33 kernel. I just followed the directions in the manual
and it worked. Did you apply the patch as recommended? Anytime I have
tried to make something (including recompiling my kernel), it works as
advertised. Don't know much more about it than that. I have seen others
having make problems, maybe one of them has found a solution?

OK, I finally got it to work. A simple solution, but not obvious (to me).
Apparently the ppp-options file cannot be blank. I used an empty file
since all options were in the diald.conf file. When I went back and simply
#'d out all lines in the options file, diald works!
Now on to the next problem.
Win95 seems to talk a lot, so diald ends up dialing a lot. Whenever a
win95 machine starts up, it makes some request that causes diald to bring
up the link. Then it dials again at regular intervals which change every
time the machine is rebooted. Yesterday I was getting calls every 15
minutes, today I am getting calls every 2 minutes. I've seen 10 minutes, 5
minutes.
It seems to be related to network neighborhood. If I haven't opened
windows explorer or network neighborhood, it calls immediately when I do
open them. If they have been opened, it stays on it's regular cycle.
I have tried adding a few rules to the standard.filter that tell it to
igonore certain udp requests. That didn't work. Am I even on the right
track? If so, any ideas what the request actually is that is doing this?
Thanks!

Does anyone know of any tools that will allow me to configure a RH6.0 box
with a ethernet/IP and a token-ring/IPX setup. This box is going to be a
firewall using ipchains
that protects our internal private ethernet from the corporate IPX network.
Can Linux do IP to IPX routing or translation? Can I use NAT to do this?
Can linux act as a IPX to IP gateway?
Any help would be appreciated.

Scott doesn't sound like a firewall problem "yet" :)
For ease of routing a different subnet would be appropriate
but if you want the in the same block I'm sure it can be done
but with more work when routing let me dig around to see how it
can be done.

Sounds like it could be a DNS resolution problem. I had a similar problem
awhile ago and could not figure it out until I noticed the order in my
/etc/nsswitch.conf... Check the order of resolution there. Is it going out
on the net first, then failing and then going to your /etc/hosts or nis?
dig might help you out.
Just a thought.

Most definitely he is :) I myself have seen 486 motherboards with a PCI

Best way to do it is to modify the /etc/passwd file if you want to
restrict telnet access on a user to user basis.
from
someuser:qnvLxKTBU18u2:500:100:Some User's login
id:/home/someuser:/bin/csh
to
someuser:qnvLxKTBU18u2:500:100:Some User's login

#!/bin/sh
echo ""

Well, You are going to need a network card in your Mac Classic. I do
believe they are available. You need to download and install the Linux
package called "Netatalk" and that should allow your Linux Box to be a
server for macs on the network. You will be able to go into the chooser on
your Mac and your linux box will show up there. If you can't get a network
card it may be possible to do it over PPP using a serial port, but I have
never tried it. I have used PPP for telnet, http, and ftp.. but never
tried appletalk across it before.

As described in the diald documentation: in the diald conf directory
(usually: /etc/diald) there is a file standard.filter, which specifies
what diald does with each type of the request. The accept rules have a
field specifying how long to keep the connection open.

I'm trying to set up my firewall on a linux machine connected through
ADSL, and I think I am blocking a port needed for DHCP to work. Ideally
I would like to find a list of what each port is 'normally' used for (eg
port 23 is telnet, port 50ish is dns etc) so I can make some intelligent
decisions as to which ones to allow and which one to deny. Does a list
of port numbers exist anywhere?
Thanks,

> Q: Can I use linux to create/copy(/install) a Win95/98/NTwks image over

I already practiced that.
I used tomsrtbt (www.toms.net) as boot disk for booting "not installed yet" NT
workstations (I modified tomsrtbt with own kernel and own modules).
Then I booted from this disk and logged in as root. Then:
ifconfig eth0 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.10.10.255
route add default eth0
insmod nfs
mount -t nfs -o rsize=8192,wsize=8192 server:/images /mnt
cd /mnt
gzip -d -c nt4-image.gz | dd of=/dev/hda bs=1024k
This assumes that you have your ethernet driver compiled into your kernel and
nfs as a module. Then setup networking, mount nfs export of server, decompress
gzipped image on server and pipe image data to dd which writes the image
over the WHOLE DISK, starting from first sector ending at last sector (or end
of image data).
If you do that with multiple clients, all will be exactly identical after this
procedure. If you use DHCP, this is no problem for networking - but you might
have to assign different netbios names. Also (if you use NT), you will have
to generate a UNIQUE SID for every machine (use the SID-utility from
www.sysinternals.com).
Generating this gzipped images works almost as above except last line:
dd if=/dev/hda bs=1024k | gzip >nt4-image.gz
Hope this helps.

Yes, you're definitely on the right track-- Win 95/98 isn't very clever
about what constitutes the local network. You may be able to diagnose
your situation by installing iptraf or a similar monitoring program to see
the packets as they are being passed.

I then typed "dir" -- and it was also not found.

I'm no expert on this.. But one option is to simply disconnect two or more
different parts of the network and connect them to their own network card
on the server. Now, this is bad if the computers need to talk amongst
themselves very much. You can use firewalling to allow them to talk, but
if the traffic was very high it would defeat the purpose. On the other
hand, if they just need high traffic with the server and minimal
peer-to-peer, this works well.

Subject: ISO VT320 emulator with key-bindings for Oracle Forms
Date: 1 Jun 1999 23:54:00 GMT
Hello:
I'm in need of a VT320 emulator with key-bindings for Oracle
SQL*Forms; it needs to either run under Linux/Unix or else be
an old DOS-based application that I can try running under
"dosemu" (a Windows-based app through Wine would not be
suitable, however).
I'm either looking for an Open Source solution (read: free), or
else something from Digital that my place of employment can get
through the Campus-Wide Software License.
Someone suggested "kermit", but unfortunately I don't know the
key-bindings for the various forms application keys (ie. Menu,
Commit, Find, etc.). I've tried other supposed VT320 emulators
native to *nix as well -- but found them compliant in the very
loosest sense of the world!
Years ago I used something which I believe was called "setterm"
or "sethost" (the name escapes)... a DOS-based application from
Digital which I believe would fit the bill quite nicely through
dosemu -- but I can't find that software, and my organization
has *long* since discarded all that old DOS-based software media.
I've searched for a suitable solution several times in the past
but I'm still unable to use Forms-based applications from within
a *nix telnet session. ;-(
*Surely* somebody out there is using a *nix-based system to
communicate with a Vax-based Oracle application server who would
be able to hand me a clue?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm running Red Hat 6.0. In X (GNOME) I am able to connect to my ISP
when I'm root. But I can't when I'm not root.
I'm looking for a simple way to login as someone other than root,
startx, and connect to my ISP.
Any suggestions? They would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
