I've setup wu-ftpd, and in order to get guest groups working I had to
install anon-ftp. I don't want to allow anonymous access to my server
however. How can I set this up?

If you are on a local network, add the computers that telnet and ftp into
the linux box into /etc/hosts
like this

Hello John,
> is there a good website tutoral on IPCHAINS?
YES :) There's fucking good material available under
http://members.home.net/ipmasq/
For description of IPCHAINS, you have to search a document which
contains IP-masquerading-information on kernel 2.2.x, as ipchains is the
program for defining rules since kernel 2.2.x.
The "beta-version" of a document which I looked at yesterday works
wonderful ;-)
If you don't find it, just mail to me. I'll mail the doc-html (quite
small) to you.
Good luck!

Hey,
I have a problem with ftp access. If I try to connect two pcs via ftp
(1 linux, 1win95) the linux pc disconnects after app. 2 sec.
But it can't be a network problem because connections via Samba 2.0 and
Telnet (inetd) are working.
Any help is highly appreciated.

RedHat 6 doesn't need to recompile the kernel for supporting ip-masquerading.
There's a good website on IP-Masquerading:

I am having some difficulty starting NFS on my home network.

The Pentium has kernel 2.2.9.
When I try to start NFS (/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start), everything starts
(services, statd, quotas, mountd) except the NFS daemon which fails with
a message: "nfssvc: function not implemented." Can someone tell me

Date: Sat, 05 Jun 1999 06:48:15 GMT
Hi Guys,
Here is the linux setup I have so far:
Dual homed linux server with one connection to internet throught
Mediaone Cable modem and another connection to my home LAN. I have
Apache web server running on my linux server. I can connect to this web
server from anywhere just by using the mediaone provided DNS hostname
(say http://xxx.ne.mediaone.net) I'm planning to register my own domain
(let's say xyz.com).
I have two questions:
1. when I go to the internic site and fill out the form to register my
domain they ask me for the Primary and Secondary DNS servers. Which DNS
servers are they talking about? BTW, I'm in the process of reading the
ORielly DNS book.
2. When someone connects to www.xyz.com I want then to connect to my
web server at home. Is this possible? How?
Please let me know. I've been stuck with this question for a while.
Thanks in advance,

Subject: Can't get dhcpcd working
Date: 04 Jun 1999 16:36:06 PDT
I can't seem to get dhcpcd to work with my ethernet card. I am
trying to hook up our ADSL line. The cisco router is in ppp-mode,
I have eth0 set up to handle our LAN, and and I've set up eth1
to use dhcp. I'm using RedHat 5.2, kernel 2.0.36.
When I initially ran "ifup eth1", I got the following error msgs in
/var/log/messages:
...kernel: tulip.c:v0.91 4/14/99 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
...kernel: eth1: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC rev 32 at 0x6c00,
00:00:CC:22:E6:DF, IRQ 9.
...kernel: eth1: MII transceiver #1 config 3100 status 782d advertising
01e1.
...modprobe: can't locate module net-pf-17
dhcpcd[2559]: dhcpStart: socket: Invalid argument
I then put in /etc/conf.modules the last line as below:
# /etc/conf.modules
alias eth0 3c59x
alias eth1 tulip
alias net-pf-4 off
alias net-pf-5 off
>> alias net-pf-17 tulip <<
The only reason I bring this up is because I don't know if what
I did is correct. I then ran "ifup eth1", no more "can't locate module"
message, but I got the following in /var/log/messages
...kernel: tulip.c:v0.91 4/14/99 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
...kernel: eth1: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC rev 32 at 0x6c00,
00:00:CC:22:E6:DF, IRQ 9.
...kernel: eth1: MII transceiver #1 config 3100 status 782d advertising
01e1.
...dhcpcd[2650]: dhcpStart: socket: Invalid argument
When I run "dhcpcd -d eth1" it immediately exits, and I get the line:
...dhcpcd[2862]: dhcpStart: socket: Invalid argument
Is this a compatibility issue (between dhcpcd and kernel 2.0.36), or
is there some other option I need to feed into dhcpcd to get it
to work correctly?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
George

I have a dual-boot computer with win3.11 and linux.
During bootup with slackware 3.3 (linux kernel 2.0.30), the driver correctly
finds the ISA NIC. But the machine is not reachable and cannot ping other
machines on the network, although it can ping it's own assigned IP address
but nothing else. The computer works well under win3.11.
I suspect the problem is due to an IP address allocation. Because the
computer is inside company network and the IP address is dynamically
allocated. So i thought i need a DHCP. Can someone enlighten me pls! Or
could someone tell me the address of network, broadcast and netmask address
in "/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1" if i don't use DHCP.

Actually it depends on the modems you're using. If they are
ISA Legacy or similar you may be able to configure to use
any com ports as long as the IRQ are different. With external
modems, many BIOS's will allow you to use many different
IRQ's.

Proxies it was. I swear my ISP has changed their setup...
I obviously don't 'trust' Linux enough yet to look for simple answers to

me right for doing all my network config with kppp instead of actually

It loocks to me as an other programm like mgetty dont see the
lockfile and accesses ttyS3.
Make sure all programmes use the same lockfile.
(/dev/modem can be a link to /dev/ttyS3 what lead to 2 different locks to the same
com-port)
Also lock must be in pppd's options

Subject: Re: slow telnet and no ftp, but great http
Date: 4 Jun 1999 14:31:14 GMT
The problem sounds like a DNS timeout. The linux box is attempting to do a
dns lookup on the computer which is connecting to it, and if you are not
connected to the internet or a dns server somehow, it will just wait for a
while.
On some systems, the ftp program will give up before dns does, and refuse
the connection. Usually, telnetd will wait longer than ftpd, so after the
dns times out telnet will accept the connection.
By putting the hostnames in your /etc/hosts file, your system won't do the
ftp lookup, and therefore won't wait for a response.
Does anyone know how to stop telnetd and ftpd from doing a name lookup,
though, when it receives a connection, or is that done by the tcp wrapper
which comes default with Redhat ?

Subject: Slow routing between 2 fast NICs (100TX)
Hi,
I've setup a PI 200 with 128MB (SuSE 6.1, 2.2.5) as a
firewalling/masquerading server with two 21143
tulip (DEC) cards from Lantech.
Each card has a throughput of 3000-6000 KB/sec (either internal-internal
or external-external) when
used in the same net, measuered with xfertest (samba's smbclient
get/put).
When I try to measure external-internal or vice-versa, the throughput
goes down to 100-300 KB/sec
although I can't see any "breakdowns" on the server.
Any ideas how to speed up the routing between the two cards or where to
check the routing performance
details ?
BTW, I already use tulip.c V0.91 because of the latest 21143 support as
previous versions aren't
stable. I'm looking into the new fastrouting / fastswitching features
but can't find too
much infos about it.
Any infos appreciated.
Bye, Torsten Droste

Hello,
I have purchased a Dell PowerEdge 1300 recently and found out from
the manual that the system allows the administrator to check on machine
status, eg Temperature, hardware status, etc. The system does ship with
Windows NT SNMP applications to does that, but could get the same info
under Linux?
Thanks,
Kar Fai

Hi.
(Have removed all the earlier threads from within this reply. Too much
of it.)
I did succeed in getting a connect with Shiva. I threw planning to the
winds and tried innumerable options. When I did get a connect, it was
with the (guess what) the refuse-chap option. Deja vu Cliff. I had
include noauth in it, since the my pppd seems to be asking the peer for
an auth. But later it seemed to be working fine even without the noauth
option (default perhaps).
Problems still remain though. The PPP connect doesn't happen everytime.
Sometimes pppd and peer keep saying ConfReq and ConfAck for something as
inconsequential as asyncmap. They like the times of agreement, I guess.
So I put in big numbers against lcp-max-configure (100) and
icp-max-configure. That doesn't seem to have changed much. pppd still
decides to call it quits after sending a few ConfReqs (last message sent
10 times--it says).
But typically a few tries and I am connected, the rebellious nature of
pppd notwithstanding.
But I disconnect in a few minutes too. Doesn't happen from Win95, so it
can't be a bad line. Happens when I am connected to my (non-Shiva) ISP
too. I think I need to send the equivalent of keep-alives, if there is
anything like that.
Overall, (my) pppd is like an old jalopy. Dunno when it will give up,
but keeps going anyhow!
I will post successful and unsuccessful debuglogs shortly. Its on the
Linux partition, and Win95 can't see Linux.
And by the way, how on earth does one learn to read debuglogs like a
play script? Great help that would be!

Subject: Shutdown listen socket without clearing listen queue.
Date: 4 Jun 99 11:33:05
On FreeBSD3.1, if you have listen()ed on a socket, and run
shutdown(listenFd, SHUT_RDWR) on it, then you can continue to accept
any connections still in the listen queue, but no more connections are
allowed into the listen queue. This is very useful in situations
where you are using a load-balancer - when your service does the
shutdown() on the socket on one machine, the load-balancer will
redirect to the other machines, while the original machine can finish
servicing any requests still in its listen queue.
This doesn't work under Linux. The call returns an error "Transport
endpoint is not connected". Which makes sense - it's just that this
use of shutdown() is a really elegant solution to the problem. Are
there any application-level solutions to this on Linux? [Other
non-application-level solutions would include mucking about on the
load-balancer (risking accidental screw-ups), or using firewalling
software on the machine to block incoming TCP connections on the
appropriate ports until all connections have been serviced.]
Just to make things perfectly clear, let me describe the solution
under FreeBSD3.1 a different way. Say I'm running Apache httpd with
MaxClients set to 2 and ListenBacklog set to 256. Then, I run a
client with makes 200 rolling connections to the server. The httpd
will handle the connections two at a time, leaving the rest in the
listen queue.
By using this shutdown(*,SHUT_RDWR) on the listening socket, the
clients will continue reading connections off the queue, BUT NO NEW
CONNECTIONS ARE ALLOWED. So existing connections will be serviced,
but nothing after the shutdown() will be allowed to connect. When the
queue empties, the accept() call will return ECONNABORTED.
I've already patched our Apache to use this. With the previous
shutdown code, clients in the process of getting serviced would get an
error. With the new code, they either get serviced, or bounce off,
they never get partway into a request. With a load balancer in the
loop, the requests just go to the next box in the queue, allowing us
to seemlessly roll boxes in and out of the queue.
[BTW, it also doesn't work on Solaris :-),]
