If they assigned you 'ns1.domain.com', and are looking for 'www.domain.com',
then you'll have to contact the owners of 'domain.com' and have them setup
'www' to go to you. If you want 'www.ns1.domain.com', setup a virtual
domain on your system (see Apache's config file).

This is no joke! I was pennyless in 1990, and then I learned C++ and Java,
and all of a sudden it all came together. All of a sudden, I had respect
for myself, and I was making $50,000 and more. The best part about it, is
that I didn't have to lower my dignity and annoy people with high IQs that
wouldn't fall this swindle anyway!

Your corporate firewall appears to utilize a socks proxy server.
These firewalls have IP forwarding off. So you can't ping or anything else
through it without a 'sockified' client. Such firewalls usually has an
internal DNS or has a hole poked in the firewall to allow DNS requests to a
specific name server. You might take a look at www.nec.socks.com for more
info. For http and ftp you can set the socks proxy (usually port 1080) in
the advanced settings of your browser.

--There are several possibilities:
-- 1. one of the interfaces has not been enabled
-- 2. one of them does not have a route to the other correctly set in
its route table.
-- To find out about the interface state, use the command
-- /sbin/ifconfig
-- This should give you a report on all the interfaces in your machine,
-- including lo the loopback interface.
-- Check eth0 to make sure it says UP in the third line. Do this on
-- both machines.
-- To find out about the route situation, do
-- netstat -rn
-- This should give you a numeric listing of the routes in each system.
-- There should be 3:
-- 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U ..... lo
-- 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U ..... eth0
-- 0.0.0.0 def_gw 0.0.0.0 UG .... eth0 (or
another)
-- If this isn't so, you will need to fix it both temporarily for testing,
and
-- permanently (in the network startup scripts), again on both machines.
-- Good luck.

A (much) better scheme is to get access to the router, and tell it to
clear its ARP cache. This has the advantage that it always works, and
is self-healing.

RH6 contains PPP 2.3.7 that allows you to use dial-on-demand
feature. This means that when you bring pppd up you can see
ppp0 (or more) device(s) up, but the modem starts dialing
only when there is some traffic on ppp device. You can configure
the PPP to disconnect after certain idle time. I suggest you to
take a look at PPP-HOWTO and man pppd. As a basic example
you can consider my /etc/ppp/options file, however I don't use
many sophisticated features you might want to use, so reading
docs is always better option :)

My working socks5.conf looks more like this:

auth - - -

Hey,
has anyone tried copying files directly from a CDROM to Samba? I
discovered that Samba tries to be "smart" and turns off teh "write"
priveledges on the file despite the setting on my mask in smb.conf!
Has anyone found a way around this?

Reply-To: "Jeff Creed" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hey all,
I've got a real good one here. I recently reloaded RedHat 5.2 on my
machine -- not a big deal, since this machine previously had run 4.2,
5.0, and also 5.2. I have added *no* hardware to this machine, and the
configuration has remained the same. I know the hardware configuration
has remained the same because this box runs OS/2 (no plug and play
nonsense to screw with irqs, addresses, etc.) when it is not running
Linux.
Long story short: The newly reloaded RedHat 5.2 config cannot ping
*anything* on the little network here at the house. Nothing can ping
the Linux Box either. The only machines on the network are two other
OS/2 Warp v4 workstations running peer-to-peer services (the functional
equivalent to a WFW or 95 workgroup). Those of you who are familiar
with OS/2 know that there is nothing special nor strange with it's
incantation of Lan Manager -- not only that, it should NOT interfere
with the ability of the Linux box to ping or be pinged.
The NIC is a 3Com combo ISA (plug-and-pray is disabled already) and
functions with no problems when running under OS/2. Linux loads the
3C509 kernel module and uses the correct IRQ and base address (the same
config that OS/2 uses). Ifconfig show that this interface is up,
functioning, and receiving/transmitting packets. Since the network has
a whopping 3 machines on it, uses the typical private, Class C
(192.168.1.xxx) addressing scheme, and has _worked with Linux before_,
I cannot understand what would cause the Linux box to behave this way.
For the curious: A tcpdump shows that the machine is receiving packets
with no errors. It just doesn't respond. "x packets received by
filter, 0 dropped by kernel" . . .
Did I inadvertently configure IP filtering / firewalling? I have
disabled any references to firewalling in the startup scripts, so this
should NOT be running.
Any ideas, suggestions, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jeff

I have a box with two adapters, [EMAIL PROTECTED]/24 (3c509) and

eth1 to nothing at the moment, but soon to a DSL router.
When I use nmap (from another Linux box) to scan 192.168.0.201, the
interface goes dead. I can still ping it from the box itself, but it
cannot ping other PC's, and other PC's can no longer ping it. If I use
UserNet to restart eth0, it works again until I hit it with nmap. I'm
using nmap 2.2beta4-1 with the included GUI to perform the scan.
Settings are the startup defaults, SYN Stealth, TCP & ICMP, OS
Detection (nmap -sT -O 192.168.0.201)
Am I inadvertantly executing a DOS attack on my own server?

Date: Thu, 03 Jun 1999 09:39:52 -0500
this question has come up a lot in the last week.
the most liekly problem is that the ipx frame types are not the same for
the real netware servers and for the mars server.
'ifconfig' will tell you which frame types your linux box is running.
nwserve.conf specifies which frame types mars_nwe will run. Some
unmodified config files default to ethernet_ii.
net.cfg on the client boxes (presumably DOS) will specifiy which frame
types the clients will use. If not specified, often defaults to 802.2.
win95 ipx services use 'autoconfigure' which should detect all ipx frame
types.
I bet your clients aren't using frame type which mars is using.
I suggest changing your mars server to the primary frame type of your
existing networks (usually 802.2) unless you want to reconfigure all
your clients. most people think the frame types 'should' be ethernet_ii
to co-exist with IP better.

I'm not an expert with modems but I had a similar problem a couple of years ago. The

me I needed catagory 5 wiring. (Sounds like 100baseT) Six months later
they made some changes at my home and I have not had any problems since. I normally

Kind of figuring out how to use ssh to optimal effect.
I'm using the US version of ssh-1.2.26 on RH5.2 on a 486.
I ssh in as $USER, no problem.
I enter su to become superuser, no problem.
But when I want to use su to do some stuff for some of the users
(actually to run ssh-keygen for them),
%su $NEW_USER
i get:
shell-init: could not get current directory
anyone know what's going on? Please e-mail me as well. Thanks.
