In order to run the network at 100Mbps/sec speed, you will have to use CAT5
cable and a hub. BNC coax cable simply won't run faster than 10Mbps/sec.

Subject: RH 5.1 version.h file?!?
Date: Wed, 02 Jun 1999 10:03:41 -0400
I don't have a version.h file on my Red Hat 5.1, kernel version
2.0.34-0.6 computer. I also don't have the /linux directory under the
/usr/include directory.
Red Hat doesn't recognize the "make" command, so I can't do a make
config in order to generate the version.h file.
Any ideas on what I can do?
Thanks!
Mike

You never know about 'other's. My home machine and one system machine
were cracked into through software holes (which have since been
plugged). Heaven only knows what would have happened had I
allowed root to login through telnet. As it was, the system was
complaining about securetty's when they logged in with a root account
they had created (a back door, if you will).
If you need to use root, either man su, use ssh, or get sudo, which
allows you to perform root commands one at a time without having to log
back in.
(Whoever performs daily work as root for longer than a minute should
just hand over their linux boxes to those who could do more good with
it.) :)

Subject: help - we're going berzerk! IP addresses for peers?!
Date: Thu, 03 Jun 1999 07:27:59 GMT
Weve RTFM and still dont see the Linux box in NetworkNeighborhood.
We have a simple Windows network - where machines can see each others shares
via the workgroup (on a simple hub - no domain, no nothing but a few win95
peers without IP addresses). Now we've added a Linux box... to be nothing
more than another resource (don't really want validation, just a public
share would suffice). But... we can only get the machines to ping when
there is a hosts file on the win95ers, and we're not convinced that this is
required. Either way, they still dont see ol' Linux in the Neighborhood.
Is it absolutely required that the Win95 box has a lmhosts file with the
Linux's IP? Why can't this thing resolve machine names on the workgroup
without knowing explicit IP addresses?
Please point us to the HOWTO file that explains what network foundation that
smbd REQUIRES. The SMB howto suggests a IP config with the hosts files...
sucky for us!
Thanks !

So you should make sure that the userid is encased in ' '.
Any way, your system is rejecting the remote system;s attempt to use chap. That meand
that
your system does not recognise that you have a valid chap entry.
The user username must be exactly the same as the username in the chap secrets file.
You might want to get rid of the remotename in teh chap secrets file and replace it
withy
a *
username * password
Note that your username is actually irrelevant as far as chap is concerned. All it
really
wants is your password as the secret Thus the only important thing is that username in
teh
file is the same as username in the user option.

pppd is up to 2.3.8 by now. Why are you using such an old version?

Here you reject cahp authentication. Nothing is liable to go right thereafter, and it
does not.

Subject: Bell Atlantic ADSL + Linux
Date: Thu, 3 Jun 1999 16:02:19 -0400
Hi
I'm trying to get my ADSL connection to work in Linux. I just installed
the service and it works fine under windows. I am in the Pittsburgh area
and I have been given a fixed IP address, so I do not need DHCP.
My Ethernet card is a 3Com Fast EtherLink XL (10/100Base-TX, PCI), my
modem is the Westell that Bell sells and I run RedHat 5.1 (kernel 2.0.34).
The NIC driver module loads fine and I use the following commands to set
up my ADSL connection:
ifconfig eth0 151.201.MY.IP netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add 151.201.20.1 eth0
route add default gw 151.201.20.1 eth0
The netmask and gateway have been given to me by Bell and are the ones
I use in Windows98. Everything goes fine so far, but when I try to ping
(always with -n, just in case) or traceroute or anything, I get no
response.
Has anyone had similar problems? Could this be a problem with my NIC
(which I doubt)? Should I set some other parameter with ifconfig?
BTW, I also tried DHCP, but I get a "no DHCPOFFER messages" error.
Anyhow, I did not expect this to work, since Bell here uses static
addresses...
Thanks

Hi,
just follow the hints in /usr/doc/packages/quota/README.SuSE. In order to
assign quotas automatically, add a line similar to
setquota $1 /dev/hda3 1024 2048 269 539
to your /usr/sbin/useradd.local file and a line similar to
setquota $1 /dev/hda3 0 0 0 0
to your /usr/sbin/userdel.local file.
Kind regards,

I am trying to set up my Companies Linux 5.3 KDE server as a domain
controllerfor file and print sharing. That's not the problem (anything to
keep NT out of the picture). Now we want web pages. No prob httpd is running
great. The domain that we chose was sent to us as a 'ns1.domain.com '
how do I change the ns1 to a www prefix? I have been really stumped on this
one and I know it is something simple.
Thanks in advance

Just to reply to my own post... I think I forgot to specify gateway
information to route(8), but I think I can figure all of this out by
myself with a few more hours of studying the HOWTOs. My question about
not messing up or interfering with anything by setting my IP to
192.168.0.1 and then rebooting and connecting to my ISP via PPP
remains, however.
Thanks,
