Oh ye gurus,
I have got stuck with this problem and need some fresh eyes to look at it
and to see the obvious.
I am trying to set up a dhcpd on my RedHat 5.2 machine. The server starts up
without problems, but when my laptop connects, I get the following in
/var/log/messages:
Jun 3 18:01:43 bug dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:00:e8:5e:a7:32 via eth1
Jun 3 18:01:44 bug dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.0.0.100 to 00:00:e8:5e:a7:32 via eth1
Jun 3 18:01:44 bug dhcpd: sendpkt: Network is unreachable
My dhcpd.conf is like this:
option domain-name "lsd.dk";
option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.1;
option routers 10.0.0.1;
subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 {
range 10.0.0.100 10.0.0.200;
# host lab {
# hardware ethernet 00:00:e8:5e:a7:32;
# fixed-address lab.lsd.dk;
# }
}
I can happily ping other machines through eth1:
PING 10.0.0.2 (10.0.0.2): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.0.0.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=128 time=1.0 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.0.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=0.7 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.0.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=128 time=0.7 ms
Ifconfig says:
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:18:29:2E:8E
inet addr:10.0.0.1 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0

RX packets:80800 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:93252 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:168
Interrupt:9 Base address:0xff00
I am running an almost plain-vanilla RedHat 5.2, with two net cards (cable
modem and local net), ip masq, etc. Pentium 133 (if I remember right), 64MB
RAM, enough free disk:
Linux version 2.0.36 ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
(gcc version 2.7.2.3) #7 Thu Apr 8 16:46:51 CEST 1999
I have made one change in /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd: I start dhcpd only on
eth1.
Any ideas would be appreciated, even just a confirmation that this message
has reached "the world", as my news system is not quite done yet...
Thank you in advance

Subject: Sendmail configuration

I'm not sure if it is a problem at my end or at the other end, but
occasionally when I send an email to someone, I get a bounce reply of
551 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ...we do not relay.
The top of my sendmail.cf is as follows:
##################
# local info #
##################
Cwlocalhost
# file containing names of hosts for which we receive email
Fw/etc/sendmail.cw
# my official domain name

#Kuser user -m -a<>
#DLname_of_luser_relay

#CL root

# who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M)
DMarlen.demon.co.uk
My sendmail.cw is as follows:
# sendmail.cw - include all aliases for your machine here.
steldin.shadows.org
arlen.demon.co.uk
Where steldin is a machine that connects to the net via my linux box and
arlen.demon.co.uk is the external hostname of my linux box and
brightwood is the internal name.
Could anyone point me in the right direction as to solving this problem?

Your Domain Name System should have an MX (Mail eXchange) record. You
can see it with 'nslookup -q=mx your.domain.com'
Each MX record has a number associated with it.
SMTP protocol specifies that MX records should be tried from lowest
to highest number.
If you give the Exchange server a lower number, sites trying to send email
to your domain will try to connect to its IP address and fail, it is
behind the Linux box after all. Then they will try the Linux box and
succeed.
The Linux box will accept the message and then notice that a lower numbered
MX record exists. It will connect to the NT box internally and deliver
the message to Exchange.

Great, you will need it. Maybe you should concider their book
on firewalls as well or at least check here:

Well you don't really, if I understand your question correctly. YOu
set up Windows groups and users with same same groups and users as you
did linux, using windows own configuration tools. Then when windows
logs into linux it passes the current windows user name and password
to linux. Linux looks in its files and if the user and group exist
then all is well.
Usually the problem people seem to run into is not matching the
password encryption. Windows is default encrypted and samba is default
plain text passwording. Reset one or the other.

Sorry for disturbing you, I found the solution myselfe:
My client was blocked out from access the server by an entry in
/etc/host.deny
Now ist is working.

My pg_hba.conf is in:
/var/lib/pgsql/
in /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql, postmaster is launched with this -D
option:
-D/var/lib/pgsql
Be carefull, /var/lib/pgsql/ should be owned by postgresql user and
postmaster must be launched by postgresql user

The OS desn't seem to recognize my 3COM NIC (3C509B-TPO). During boot it
hangs for 15-20 secs while "bringing up interface eth0", and then fails.
What's my solution?

The "tulip" driver IS the correct one. You might need something more
up-to-date than what comes with standard Linux kernels, though. Try this
URL for an updated tulip.c file:
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/tulip-devel.html
Take the tulip.c file, drop it into your Linux kernel tree, and recompile
the kernel and/or modules.
It's also possible that you're having problems with your Linux networking
configuration rather than with the driver itself. For instance, have you
set up a gateway machine? Assigned an address to the computer itself?
Check the Linux networking HOWTOs for information on setting this up.

I had this problem just last week. There were 2 issues 1) plug 'n pray
was enabled and 2) there was an IRQ conflict after I disabled pnp.

If "try executing" means from the command line then it's doubtful that
it'll work even if root is in /etc/diphosts. Judging from what you said,
you aren't trying to set up an ISP anyway. The interactive dip mode
is "dip -t". If this doesn't make sense to you then try "man dip". Or
better "man pppd" - unless you need SLIP. Dip uses pppd for it's PPP
connections anyway.

I have installed RedHat 5.2 Secure-Server Edition on an old 486 box
installed as a server. I have an SMC ISA card (EZ Card 10) installed.
This is connected to a D-Link hub set to 10BaseT setting (it's a dual
speed). The two other computers on the network are running Win98 with
NetBEUI and TCP/IP protocols. PROBLEM: I can't ping the Linux box from
the Win 98 boxes and I cannot telnet into the Linux box.
ifconfig reads:

Subject: NFS config in kernel compiling
Hi,
I would like to get advice on compiling the Linux kernel with
kernel NFS modules. I am using RedHat 6.0. The installation comes
with the kernel version 2.2.5, and I can run NFS server and client.
However, when I compile the kernel version 2.2.7 source, the resulted
kernel fails to start up NFS daemon. The error message is:
nfssvc: Function not implemented
I included the RedHat source package knfsd-1.2.2-4.src.rpm, which
contains knfsd-1.2.2.tar.gz, and applies all patches to the source. I
also compiled the knfsd-1.2.2 package, and got various
tools/utils/libraries. Running the "utils/nfsd/nfsd" gives me the
error message the same as the above. I checked the source code, and
found that the system call in "support/nfs/nfsctl.c" line 21:
syscall (__NR_nfsctl, cmd, argp, resp);
returns the above error.
I am grateful if anyone can enlighten me how to fix this problem? Thanks
in advance.

Going from 36 to 2.2.* brings in some issues. Is /etc/conf.modules
correct?
That is the main thing. once it is seen you should be able to figure
out the rest.
alias etho 3c90
Or something similar off the top of my head. and maybe irqs and dmas..
