Subject: named database empty after reboot
Date: Mon, 07 Jun 1999 15:01:14 +0200
When I restart my system (SuSE Linux 5.3)
the cache of named is cleared.
I use nslookup to figure it out if the cache is empty :
# nslookup
Default Server : ns.cpwj.com
Address 192.168.1.2
> www.linux.com
Server : ns.cpwj.com
Address 192.168.1.2
Name www.linux.de
Address 195.254.37.153
when i do this again, named gives
a non-authoritive answer.
after a reboot, named doesn't take
the www.linux.com from the cache :
it loads it again from the net.
how can i fix this?

Ok, I am losing it!
-I have a pop account set up on my desktop (RedHat Linux 5.2)
-I have mail in that pop account (I know 'cause I put it there!! and the
file has size larger than 0b)
-I have the ports on my fire wall for pop3 and smtp mapped to the
desktop
When I try checking the mail via Netscape, simply tells me that "There
are no new messages on the server" (pointing the mail preferences at
thet firewall's ip address)
- I call Shinanigens!!!
-locally I check mail via 'mail' and there it is....
-there is an account on the firewall with the same name, but it too has
mail. I should be seeing something if the mapping wasn't going
through.
I am too young to go bald!

Is there any way to measure how much traffic (inbound and outbound) is going

to co-locate a server.
netstat's info is hard to decipher unless I can somehow reset it and start

Hi all,
The problem is the following,
My father is willing to invest in connecting all computers at home (4) via
a linux box with ip-masquerading, but only when he can see a log of the use
of internet for every user. Does Linux log the ppp connection, is it useful

This is probably the killer line. Under 99% of the situations, you have
to at least escape the xon/xoff characters in the character set in use.
Set an option that tells pppd to use the 'asyncmap 0x000a0000' which
will escape those two characters in the data stream.

I see it did acknowledge it, so did mine, but then it hung up just like
yours is doing.
This is good info I think, so I'll leave it. But there should be a
window someplace to allow adding that option 'asyncmap 0x000a0000'

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm trying to get NFS working on 2 Redhat 5.2 boxes. I'm lazy so I used
linuxconf to configure both the server and the client and the
/etc/export and /etc/fstab show the correct changes have been made.
When I try to manually mount the filesystem from the client, I get the
message "mount: RPC: Program not registered". Portmap is showing as
running in the process table and I've stopped and restarted the daemon a
number of times. I also get a similar message when I restart nfsfs:
"mounting remote filesystems.mount: RPC: Program not registered".
rpcinfo also reports only two things running, rpcbind for both tcp and
udp.
Anyone know what this means? Maybe something's not compiled into the
kernel?

This modem will work fine. It is a true hardware based modem using the
RC56KDPF chipset. The only "winmodem" diamond makes is the SupraMax (stay
away from that piece of #$%#$^)
a good init for this modem is AT&F2 (set's autoreliable mode) to set v.34
just put +ms=11,1,300,33600 (or desired max speed)

The first question is: do you have a windows NT domain controller? If so,
then this message should be helpful. If you do not, then if you've got NT
boxes, your best bet is to either make one a PDC, or to just use
Workgroups instead of domains. I won't go into the Workgroups setup
because news:linux.samba has more on that.
If you've got an NT PDC, then the complete guide is:

Subject: Re: How do you ID a FA310TX rev C that uses the DEC chipset???
Date: 7 Jun 1999 16:04:25 GMT
Daring to challenge the will of the almighty Leviam00se,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] had the courage to say:
: I understand the Netgear FA310TX revision C* uses
: the DEC 21140 chipset. How do you identify one of
: these? My local CompUSA has about a dozen Netgear
: cards on the shelf three of which have a "C" at
: the end of the stenciling on the largest chip.
The board part number is *not* written on the chip. You can tell if
it's a DEC 21140 chip if it says Digital 21140 on it. If it doesn't,
then it isn't a DEC part. My money says that what you actually saw was
NGM169C (or something similar) with the word NETGEAR written above it.
This really means it's an 82c169C, which is the Lite-On PNIC chip.
I think this is what Netgear calls the FA310TX Rev D2 or D3. I think
the only difference is a newer revision of the PNIC, however I don't
know what the difference is between that and the older NGM169B.
Anything that your local CompUSA has in stock now is not likely to
be using a DEC part. I was in a local Staples the other day and all
they had around were FA310TX Rev D1 cards and LinkSys LNE100TX cards,
both of which use the PNIC.

Subject: SAMBA routing ?
Date: Tue, 8 Jun 1999 00:45:35 +0900
Hello.
I'm using a linux box as a samba server and it is connected to two different
networks.
It is possible to log on the samba server from both network A and B. I
turned on IP Forwarding in the linux box, so each network can ping and
access the other network with TCP/IP.
However, win95 boxes in A network can't find other win95 machines in B
network with Netbios, vice versa. All win95 machines have Netbeui protocol,
so they can find others in their own network as well as samba server.
How can let the win95 machines of both networks communicate each other with
Netbeui protocol?
Thanks,
Bono

I'm not sure if there's some difference between Suse and Redhat, both

smbmount //W98Name/W98Partition '/mountponit'
For example:
smbmout //pinky/hdd /mnt/samba -I 192.168.5.21
The -I is sometimes needed for the client to find the machine.

Just seen this mail now, and it intrigued me ...
I would perhaps use cron, calling a simple script, every "x" minutes.
This script will scan all the update times of the files in
/var/spool/mail/ and anything which has been updated in the last "x"
minutes means that the user with the same name has new mail.
Working from memory ....
find /var/spool/mail -mmin -5 -exec "notifyuser {}" \;
will find all the users who received mail in last 5 minutes ... and call
a script "notifyuser" with the name of the mailbox with new mail.
This can be run as "nobody", I think... no chance of data security
issues.
just a thought .... ;-)

I just looked on my machine. It looks like I have it. I'd loan it to you,
but then I wouldn't have one, and I use it from time to time.
If you're running Redhat, it comes in wu-ftpd-2.4.2b18-2.1.i386.rpm
If you're not running Redhat, then you'll have to find it yourself (using the

Subject: 2 ipchains questions
Date: Mon, 07 Jun 1999 08:24:21 -0700
I have RH6 running on a pentium and it is hooked to a class C Ethernet
and a DSL box. From the linux box , I can ping both NIC cards and the
DSL box but not outside the DSL box. I have 2 DNS servers listed and
they are up because I use the same ones on my dial-up account. I am
trying to use ip masquarading for the rest of the network. If I add the
following lines:
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -s 192.x.x.x -j MASQ then that machine can also ping
the DSL box but no further. Also, after adding that last line, if I do a
ipchains -L it hangs and waits for a control-c.
question 1. Any ideas why I can't ping further than the DSL box.?
question 2. Why does the linux hang when ipchains -L?
Thanks for any info you might have.

With only two systems involved, the two options may seem equivalent,
but get two or more systems behind that firewall, and you may see why
it's more desireable to use port forwarding. Besides, with the
application systems behind the firewall, they can have all the
services open that developers want without exposing them all to
attacks from the outside.
Now once I've figured out what ipchains rules I've got blocking my
ipmasqadm portfw from working, I can even put all this theory into
practice... :-/
