The QoS traffic control stuff is configured using the "tc" program
which comes from the iproute2 archive which can, in turn, be
found on ftp.inr.ac.ru:/ip-routing/.
There isn't a lot of documentation right now so expect to have
to think *hard* about how things fit together and what you want
out of it :-).

Date: Wed, 09 Jun 1999 11:00:25 -0500
Hello all,
I have a Windows 95 desktop machine, a windows 95 laptop and a Linux RedHat
5.2 desktop machine.
They're all networked together through a 10baseT hub.
In fact I now have a friend to keeps coming over with *his* laptop...so now at
any given time there are two laptops on the network in my apartment, then
there's the desktop windows 95 machine and finally the desktop linux machine
running RedHat 5.2.
Setting up IP addresses for the laptops is a real pain because I use my laptop
at work and my friend also uses his at work. At work, we both have the network
settings set to "automatically obtain IP address" when the client for
Microsoft Networks boots. I understand that this IP address ia dynamically
assigned at boot time by a DHCP server program which is running on the machine
that acts as the NT domain server.
However, when we are at my apartment, we keep having to switch to fixed IP
address, and punch on the IP and the netmask for the little network I have
over there...then reboot and then we are on...then go back to the office, go
back to "automatically obtain IP address" and bla bla bla...you get the
picture.
I would really like to be abe to use the Linux box to act as a DHCP server so
that we would no longer have to change our IP address settings every time and
just let the Linux machine assign an IP that is in the declared subnet of the
network in my apartment when we plug the laptops in at my house.
I have looked in all the LInux books for anything on any program called "dhcp"
or "dhcpd" and cannot find anything, however, I have seen repeated references
to ISPs using Linux boxes to dynamically assign IP addresses to Windows 95
machines that are either dialing in or ar plugging into the local network? How
exactly do they accomplish this? What is the name of the DHCP server for the
RedHat 5.2 Linux ditribution.
Thank you.

I can't find dhclient... where do you run it from? Let me know what
you did.
As for your Linux box being seen in an NT domain, you need to install
SAMBA (SMB). You will then be able to see it in your Domain after a
bit of kweaking but be careful 'cause you can do a lot of damage to a
production network if you're not careful.

Subject: named as root name server
Date: Wed, 09 Jun 1999 11:01:19 -0500
Hello all,
I have a Windows 95 desktop machine, two windows 95 laptops and a Linux RedHat
5.2 desktop machine.
They're all networked together through a 10baseT hub.
I really would like to get *one* BIND name server running on the Linux box and
just turn on DNS on all the windows 95 machines and have them all do their
name resolution by using the named server running on the LInux box.
I have successfully set up name servers before but they were on machines that
had access to larger networks. So I would set up the nameserver to be a
chaching nameserver responsible for all lookups on, say, domain xyz.net and
tell it..."go get all non local domain/zone lookups from name server
blablabla.swbell.com".
Now that I have a small network in my house that is not connected to anything
in the outside world, I obviously do not have access to a root level name
server. I have been fighting with the named that ships with RedHat 5.2 for
over a month now to behave correctly. I want it to serve up all the names for
my local domain in my house...that it I was it to correctly resolve
ftp,www,server1,server2,etc. for the domain xyz.com, but I also have to tell
it that there is no root level name server so if you don't have the lookup for
the requested anem locally, just bail, don't try asking the root level name
server.
The named which shipped with RedHat 5.2 was named 8, so it uses the
/etc/named.conf file for cofiguration in that funky new format. It completely
ignores /etc/named.boot. I have configured the named.conf file and I have
created zone files for localhost and xyz.com forward lookups and also xyz.com
reverse lookups. I have tried both turning on the named.ca file functionality
and turning it off. In all cases, when named starts, it complains to syslog
that it cannot locat eroot name server and that it will forward all outside
requests to 0.0.0.0.
After that, when I run nslookup on anything, nslookup says that named
complains that it cannot get a rise out of the 0.0.0.0 network therefore the
named server is failing and no lookup is done.
DOes anybody out there have any successful setups for a root level named
server that is version 8 or later (i.e. uses the names.conf file). I really
need to copy this example bacause I have tried everything and still cannot get
the name server to behave correctly and serve up named for my loca network!!
THank you.

Please include your samba.conf. Also, what SP is installed on the NT Box,
if its less than SP3, your problem could be encrypted passwords. Please

Subject: [Fwd: Using SAMBA on Linux]
Date: Wed, 09 Jun 1999 10:59:29 -0500
Hello all,
Here is a problem everybody has run in to but I cannot find any HOWTOs on it,
strangely enough!!
I have a Windows 95 desktop machine, a windows 95 laptop and a Linux RedHat
5.2 desktop machine.
They're all networked together through a 10baseT hub.
I have set up the SAMBA server on my Linux box and when I turn on the Windows
95 machines, lo and behold, the Linux machine is there on the Network
Neighborhood tab at the bottom of windows explorer! Great. Dandy. I can now
use the windows 95 machines to pull and push files to the drive on the Linux
box...and if I get really fancy, I can even store my executables there!
Problem #1: How can I get the Linux machine to use the
SAMBA/Network-Neighborhood connectivity to access the Windows 95 machines? I
would really like to be able to do something like:
mount -blabla /dev/win95machine /mnt/machine2/
Is there any way to use samba connectivity to do this? I really cannot afford
to spend the money to buy an NFS server for the windows 95 machines.
Hummingbird sells one but it is *very* expensive. How can I access the windows
95 machines from the LInux box? This SAMBA thing only seems to go one
way...and I am sick of FTPing to the 95 machines from the Linux box.
Problem #2: This I suspect is a Windows 98 related problem. Like I said, I
have a desktop 95 machine and a laptop 95 machine. I upgraded the laptop to
windows 98 a few weeks ago. When I got on my local network, whenever I tried
to open up Network Neighborhood and access the drives and printer on the Linux
machine, WIndows 98 always came back with the dialog box "Please Enter
password to access resource \\LinuxBoxName\...". I have double and triple
checked. The account I was using on the Windows 98 machine was valid on the
Linux box. THe password was correct. On the 95 desktop machine, this account
and password work without a hitch. However, on the Windows 98 machine, windows
98 kept claiming that the password to access the LInux box through Network
Neighborhood was incorrect.
As proof of the fact that the problem is windows 98 specific, I reloaded
windows 95 on that laptop after this incident and, after installation and
account creation...everything went back to normal. I was accessing the Linux
box through the Network Neighborhood tab like normal!!
Has anybody else run across this? Has anybody found any solutions or done any
detective work? I would be really interested in hearing about it.
Problem #3: This one qualifies more as a nuisance than a real problem. I use
text editors very often to edit files directly on the linux box while sitting
in front of the 95 desktop machine. I simply run the text editor, open the
file on the LInux box through Network Neighborhood, edit it and save it. No
problem, works beautifully.
The interesting part comes when I select entire directories on my windows 95
directory tree and then paste it somewhere on the Linux box directory tree.
THe transfer goes through just fine and no data is corrupted. However, ALL OF
THE TRANSFERED FILES HAVE THEIR FILE NAMES CONVERTED TO LOWER CASE!!!
This is extremely aggravating as I have a number of development projects whose
source code I keep in directory trees and whose files contain some capitals
(the most egregious example being the individual "Makefile"s contained oin
each subdirectory). Obviously doing a make causes all kinds of file to not be
found because of all the lost capitals. I have resorted to tarring files up,
transfering the tarred file and then untarring them on the LInux box. However,
WHY THE HELL DOES A TRANSFER OVER A SAMBA SERVER REMOVE THE CAPITALS FROM ALL
THE FILE NAMES??!!?? Who is the nincampoop that wrote that functionality in
there? Please help!! Is there an option somewhere in the smbd/nbmd setup files
that I do not know about that will turn this behavior off?

Subject: HELP: My Earthlink connection keeps stalling and then dying (timeout
problem?)
Date: Wed, 09 Jun 1999 01:28:32 +0000
When I download large files on Earthlink, My first problem is that the
transmission keeps stalling. And then it never resumes the data stream.
My guess is that the line is heavily loaded so the file transfer stalls,
and when this stall is longer than some preset number, then my client
(ftp, http, you name it) assumes that the connection is dead and it just
hangs there. I just don't know why it doesn't quit if it really assumes
the connection is dead?! I can use the same active ppp connection to
download other files as one ftp session for example is stalled forever
(they all eventually run into the same problem).
Any ideas where the problem is?
Anybody having problems with Earthlink?

Subject: PAM & NIS
Date: 09 Jun 1999 11:12:17 -0400
Has anyone gotten PAM to gracefully coexist with NIS ? In my older
slackware systems, I could use the NIS passwd file by adding
+*:{whatever} to the end of /etc/passwd. I'm upgrading to RedHat 5.2
and now I'm stuck with PAM which by default is so paranoid nobody can
get in from anywhere but the console.
I don't really need a ton of security. These systems are lab machines
inside a corporate firewall. I just want my users (who all have their
own Sparc systems with their home directories) to be able to log in
and access their own files as themselves.
Is it possible to get PAM to query NIS for password loopkup ?
Thanks,
Drew

That doesn't seem to make a whole lot of difference. I came into
Netrape a bit late, with the 4.07 dist that came with RH5.2. While the
downloaded images are colroed, NS itself is B&W, was at 4.07, 4.08,
4.51, and now 4.6.
Aweb has full color, IBrowse is too, and so is Voyager, all of which can
kick NS clear to the dumpster with their ability to multitask.
Frankly, NS's roots in the windoze world stick out like a sore thumb,
one that really ought to be amputated. I'll be damned, but its the
only browser I run thats crippled and can't do a thing until all the
advertisements have been downloaded and displayed. That, pardon my
attitude, is bullshit, pure and simple.
I rather got used to it(the B&W) , but all these messages complaining
about a B&W NS have got me wondering. Izzit supposed to be colored?
Cheers, Gene

Those three machines listed exactly likely that in the file will work
great if they want print access. Another thing is, make sure they can
find a name for each other... /etc/hosts may be the way to do this.
