Hi folks,

What's the easiest way to do this ?

I have been searching the net endlessly for a layman's explanation of the
tweaks of tulip.c.. i.e. tx/rx ring buffer size, packet length, mtu, etc..
all to no avail. I am trying to configure my server for maximum speed,
as our main goal is fast & responsive web, email, ftp, and telnet access,
and it's ok if it eats more-than-normal resources.. is there any
documentation out there that can help? The tulip.c home page didn't help
much, and the main link is "down for construction".
Thanks,

Get a T1 line. Or a fractional T1. A full T1 could cost as much as $1000 a
month the
last time I heard. But a fractional T1 may do what you need it to. Call one of
the major
carriers in your area, like Ameritech etc. They may be able to get you
started.

What is your goal here? Are you trying to prevent people from using telnet to
access your system? Or, are you trying to prevent people from using telnet
from your system to another system?
If the former, use "tcp_wrappers" and set your /etc/hosts.{allow|deny} files
appropriately.
If the latter, it's difficult. While you can remove "others" access to the
telnet binary, that won't protect from them getting their own telnet program
and running it out of their own directory.

Please explain how telnetting in as root is a "big security hole", but
`su`ing over a remote unsecure connection is not.

Actually, the script ifcfg-eth0 is only for an ethernet card. for ppp
connection it really depends on which dialer you are using. If you use the
supplied pppd, then you should be able to find the file somewhere in
/etc/ppp. In that directory, do an "grep ifconfig *" and it will at least
point you in the right direction.
Good luck!

I have a problem with a 3c575 pcmcia card on a IBM thinkpad 600 laptop. I
run RedHat 6.0 and i have updated the pcmcia modules to 3.0.11, and still
no go. The card is probing att boot, but when i try to ping, nothing
happens for several minutes, then it pops up a line "*** irq in use by
other device maybe", then it takes a few more minutes, and the pinging is
started. But with 40-50% packet loss. I have tried IRQ 3, 4, 7, 9 and 10,
but it's still the same. What files should i edit? and what should i type
into them?

I have a win98 pc (10.10.10.11) and a Linux RedHat 5.2 box
(10.10.10.10) and an ISP with a gateway of 38.1.1.1. There is a NIC in
each pc, I have the PPP working fine from Linux and Samba 2.0.x. is
working. I have to use my default route to 38.1.1.1 on ppp0 to browse
the internet. I want to be able to browse with the win98 pc through my
Linux box(eth0). What should the route command or Linuxconf setup look
like? I have tried many different combinations, also what should be the
default route in the win98 (38.1.1.1, 10.10.10.10 or 10.0.0.0)?
Thanks in advance, you guys are a great help! Ken R.

If you're on a network with other PC or Novell servers, you'll often pick up
their broadcast messages. Probably didn't see this before because you
probably didn't have ipx compiled in before. Ipx can be quite "noisy" in the
way it sends out messages.
Just a WAG.

Four years of college, seven-foot-tall bookcase, bugged the heck out of some
coworkers... LOT of lurking time here and the other c.o.l. groups. All of
the above and then some. The technology is a moving target, which can be
exasperating. (I got IPFWDADM nailed down and guess what? Within two
months, the Linux powers-that-be decided that it was obsolete and did away
with it completely in favor of IPchains. Arrrgh!)

Easy! Start 20 years ago. :-)
Seriously, I apologize for the "tough love" approach. I hope it didn't
obscure the (still valid) point that you shouldn't expect to master this
stuff overnight (neither literally nor figuratively!).
Invest the time. Lurk a while, experiment a bit. Linux is good for that,
and the group is pretty helpful even if some of us do get a bit crusty at
times.

Jitesh,
BSD printing (the flavor offered by Linux and most major vendors) does not
offer a mechanism for users to authenticate themselves before printing.
Not sure about linux but some versions do allow you to exclude user/host
combinations.
As for logging, touch a file in /var/lpd called something like lpr.log and
then add the following to you're /etc/printcap:
:lf=/var/lpd/lpr.log:
for the desired printer. This should log requests going through this print
server.
Good luck!

Date: Thu, 03 Jun 1999 22:07:31 GMT
It doesn't eat memory. In fact it is not physically possible (forgive my
pun)
What it's doing is a Good Thing (TM). It's moving stuff that hardly ever
gets used to swap. At the same time it caches recently used stuff so it can
be loaded quickly next time. Since you're not running too many processes at
the same time, the kernel decides that it can afford to have cache of 40Mb.
It just doesn't make sence to leave the unused memory idle. It serves better
when it's cache. But as soon as you start running more apps, the size of
cache decreases to make room for them. Just try it.

This is my first post. I'm in a situation where i cant get linux to use the

I seem to be setting up the routing information that my isp has provided

but for some reason linux wont accept the settings or am I doing something
wrong here. Plz help me.
This is the settings that my isp provided: as follows
network allocation ;192.168.1.0/24
netmask: 255.255.255.240
first work station of course: 192.168.1.2 thats my windows box.
second work station : 192.168.1.3 thats the linux box.
gateway: 192.168.1.1
nameservers: 198.7.0.1/198.7.0.2
The windows box works the linux box wont.
I configured linux to:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.240 up
route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.240 eth0

Bingo! You Nak and suggest you will agree to CHAP. You talk about using

somewhere else that you didn't show?

Geezz. Peer asks for an old SPAP version that has an illegal protocol
number, c123.
: May 31 23:31:57 localhost pppd[543]: sent [LCP ConfNak id=0x4 <auth chap
: 05>]
Pppd Naks it and suggests CHAP again.
: May 31 23:31:57 localhost pppd[543]: rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x5 <mru 1522>
: <asyncmap 0xa0000> <auth chap 05> <magic 0x17618b13> <accomp>]
Peer again agrees to authenticate itself to the peer with CHAP.
: May 31 23:31:57 localhost pppd[543]: sent [LCP ConfAck id=0x5 <mru 1522>
: <asyncmap 0xa0000> <auth chap 05> <magic 0x17618b13> <accomp>]
Pppd is back to asking the peer to agree to authenticate itself using CHAP.

Peer sends CHAP Challenge.

: <d778d1969aaedfbf0d92d9504b71a68d>, name = "my_login_name"]
Pppd sents CHAP response.

Hmm.. No peer response for 30 seconds, rather strange.
: May 31 23:32:27 localhost pppd[543]: rcvd [CHAP Challenge id=0x8

: May 31 23:32:43 localhost pppd[543]: rcvd [CHAP Failure id=0xc ""]
The peer finally sends a CHAP Failure message.

All in all the impression is that you have a chance authenticating to the
Shiva with CHAP but your username or password is not quite correct. You
can try enclosing these in "" or '' if either has anything except
alpha-numeric characters in it. Both in the chap-secrets file and with
the pppd "name" option.
Otherwise there's nothing else that comes to mind to help complete the
CHAP authentication. You got a lot further than I had thought was
possible.
I'd be interested in knowing whether you are successful or not.

Bob,
The important parts, as far is routing is concerned, is your ip address, the
netmask, and the ip address of the gateway (aka the router which forwards your
packets to the internet).
Given what information you've got, you should be able to run the command:
route add default gw <gateway> metric 1
This assumes that you have configure with you're ip address/netmask, etc.
Try doing ifconfig -a and see if eth0 has your correct ip address or 0.0.0.0
If the latter, do:
ifconfig eth0 <ip address> netmask <netmask> up
and another ifconfig -a should show the interface with it's correct ip address.
If the works for you, try running something like linuxconf, control-panel, or
netcfg to put in your interface parameters so that it will automatically config
for you next time you boot up.
Good luck!
