Unfortunately this document
http://www.microsoft.com/NTServer/nts/news/msnw/nt4vLinux.asp is also true,
there ARE no benchmarks available for linux in these categories, which it
unfortunately need to get a "fighting chance" as a server platform.

'Overall, 37% less expensive to set up and operate than UNIX. '
Is this including or excluding liciencing?
I found that article extremely biased and not entirely true, I'm new to the
linux community but I know enough to understand they are trying to trick ppl
into thinking NT is a wonderful thing.

Dear all,
When I remote telnet into a Linux box (that has no Monitor connected), I
"su" as root, everything is ok at this moment. But when I type "passwd
username", and enter the new password, then no response. When I try to
telnet to it again using normal account, i type "ps ax" and it shows that
the process died. After that, I try to "su" again, no response then. So I
try to telnet it again using the normal account, I can see that there is a
process call "/usr/X11/sbin/xauth list 0: " which is died. it only happend
when the "su" command failed. Well, when I power off the machine and later
telnet it and "su" using the same password, it is ok. The errors repeat.
Distribution: Redhat Linux 6.0
Any guys has idea?
Thanks for any help.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I'm having trouble getting a network card working.
It uses the At/lantic chipset. I'm using the 'atlantic' program by
Donald Becker to set the io and irq, and put it into NE2000 mode. Then I
load the ne module with all the correct parameters, and set up eth0.
ifconfig then shows the eth0 and loopback drivers. The ip address of
eth0 is 192.168.0.1, and route.conf has the appropriate line in it (i
also use dial up modem).
My problem comes now, when I try to ping any other machine on the
network, with say ip address 192.168.0.4, nothing get's through. typing
ifconfig shows that all ping packets seem to be being sent to the
loopback driver rather than to eth0. I've seen the same problem with an
smc-ultra card in another machine, so i don't think the network card
itself is to blame. The strange thing is that i previously had an
smc-ultra in the same machine, configured in the same way - same
route.conf, resolv.conf, hosts, ip address, netmask etc, and it worked
without any problems.
has anybody come across the same problem?
cheers

Hi!
I can ping my LAN, i have to NIC's in the computer and i CAN ping my other
machine.
I CANT ping my neighbours that also get 172.22.x.x IP's.
Yes, dhcp work, atleast it looks like it work, i get my IP and other
information from the dpch server.
the /etc/dhcpcd files that i get is one dhcp.cache and one with the
information that i got from the dhcp server, check my previous
posting. I DONT get a /etc/dhcpcd/resolv.conf so i did a link from
/etc/resolv.conf to the mentioned file insted..
Any more ideas?

The problem is that the adduser program doen't encrypt passwords. I have
a file which contains username and password. I need to create the home

I continue.
Many thanks for your helpful suggestions.
I now have Mars up and running.
I have now set-up Mars on the same network number as my real NetWare server
and they co-exist very well.
Previously I had decided to place Mars on another network number and the
NetWare server was complaining about a routing problem.

Of course. You just won't be able to use Win* ressources from your Linux

Right.

You don't need NetBEUI at all. Nobody needs NetBEUI, unless (for some obscure
reason) there can't be TCP/IP on that network.

Theoretically, yes. Practically, no, unless someone has a huge security
problem.

Chris,
I think that this may be possible. You would need someway to identify
who has dialed in, of course. After they log on, it should be a matter
of writing a script that logs all of their transactions. You need to
set up a database somewhere that you could use to track the individual's
usage. Make your rules and then check against the database to see if
they are over their limits.
In /var/log/messages, I can see how much information I have uploaded
and downloaded, so getting this info for your purposes should be a
cinch. When the people dial in and log on, you would simply need to
check how much time they have remaining and how much data transfer they
have left. If they are over their limits, then you deny their log in,
or send them a message that the system is about to log them out, with
the reasons, and disconnect them.
