Can I run samba on a RedHat Workstation? What I want the RH machine to
do (other than the be my workstation.) is forward IP to the Winbox and
share file storage between the two. Can this be done and what other
software am I going to need to install and configure? (I already know
I'll need IP masquerade.)
Thanks.

Well, that's your problem. I suppose that I forgot to mention in my last
email (and I apologize for this omission) you really need to take it out of
PnP mode. I have previously used isapnp to configure it, but to do it
right, just reboot into DOS, and run the setup program on the EtherDisk
provided with the card. Diable the PnP abilities of the card and configure
it yourself (using the setting that Windows currently says it uses). Then,
Windows and Linux should both be happy.

No, the program you downloaded has something to do with setting
Twisted-pair only mode. What you need to download is the EtherDisk archive
for your card (Assuming you don't have one). Get the correct archive at
ftp.3com.com/pub/NIC/3c509/3c509x2.exe and unarchive it to a directory
under DOS, and run the resulting program INSTALL.EXE. After that, the
menus are pretty self-explanatory. BTW, the 3c509x1.exe contains a disk
full of Windows drivers, if you care about them.
Try that, and (hopefully), you'll have network access!

Uh, I think you should learn a little more about the internet
protocols. At the very least, you should read the Linux Howtos.
If you are going to be connecting your machine to the Internet, your
IP address is assigned to you. You *can* set up a single machine with
multiple IP addresses and run one service from each address, but it is
probably *not* something you really want to do.

System1 and System2
1. On System2 I can read System1's files fine but cannot write even
though the machine's exported to
/home/blah system2(rw)
2. On the System1 i can mount system2's fs perfectly but when i do an ls
all i get is.

Could you post the versions of the respective cards? I've never that it
may have been a version conflict. This should probably be in a HOWTO if
this is indeed the reason for all the 3c509B confusion. And does anyone
know if the same thing applies to the white mints?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've been putting up with this problem for a few weeks, tinkering with
different things and watching for a thread to cover it thinking surely
it's not my setup that has this problem, but maybe it is..
The version that came with RedHat 5.2 (5.07?) seemed to have no problem,
but upon installing RedHat 6.0 with 4.51 I can't seem to be able to
respond to the newsgroup, and the New Message icon is ghosted out,
although I can post a new message from the menus.
My news server is setup so non-authenticated users can only access one
group, so I have Netscape set to "Always ask for my username..." in the
news server setup.
Suggestions would be handy.. I suspect that Netscape is trying to not
authenticate, getting the error that posting is NOT allowed, then
authenticating, and allowing me to download messages, but still thinks I
am not allowed to post.
Thanks!

This is a bit weird. The first error message, when printed by boot files,
indicates that someone is trying to perform an operation not relevant to
the target device. This is often someone trying to assign network paramets
using ifconfig to a loopback device. The best way to fund this is to less
out your /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 (/etc/init.d/network if you have SysV init) and
type each command at the console and see what commands give these errors.
If that doesn't help you, posting which commands fail could help someone
else recognize a problem.

Thanks, I seemed to have lucked into pretty much the same effect by
rummaging around in the Windows Control panel and my BIOS settings
only this morning. Just in case, I'm going to print out your post and
add it to the growing stack of my make-shift linux manual. From the
volume of 3Com related posts in here, I'm sure that info will be
beneficial to someone!

Hello,
Even if you have 5 cards of the same brand you should be able to use them as
log as they have different resources (irq, i/o address, etc.).
If those card are PCI they will pickup all resources during initialization
time, if they are ISA, you need to use configuration program to change
resources (look at the vendor's web site, or check DOS driver diskette for
config program).
Good luck!

Is this a Sportster ISDN TA External ?
If so, I have the exact same problem. I managed to get about 2.5Kb/s out
of it by changing from PPP to V.120 using ATF13 ( from memory ).
However, I think ( and this is just a guess ) that the problem may be
that it only talks sync PPP, which older version of pppd didn't. I
believe the new versions have an option for this so I'm going to try it
when I get some free time...

Well I went ahead and did everything and it seems to be working. I can
ping the machine and it works (and its transceiver lights up when I do

I have a number of NT servers, and they're not THAT bad. They stay up
for a couple of months at a time. I wouldn't consider ANY mission
critical database on an NT server, because they simply don't appear to
hold up in my expierence. I have a linux box that I'm running on a P100
notebook with 32megs of ram, and it outperforms my P166 server with 64
for fileserving, and I don't have to reboot it except to take it home.
A change to the shares takes less than a minute, as do almost any other
type of change to the system. I'm not saying that Linux is what I would
choose for a couple hundred gig database, I'd probably go with something
like Solaris or VMS, but only because those are a bit more time honed.
Linux is the KILLER OS for small to mid sized shops, and it's getting to
the point where it will be good enough for true enterprise size shops.
Linux is fast, stable, and faily easy to set up with a little bit of
work. Anyway, I think that's enough rambling for now.

My Solaris ISP was simply doing (in csh) 'setenv TERM vt100' along with
some keybindings. Solaris does not have a listing for 'linux', but I
still wanted it to correctly identify 'xterm'. Commands might need to be
slightly different in bash, but this is what I used there in my .login:
# Set Terminal Options
# setenv TERM vt100
if ("$TERM" == "") setenv TERM vt100
if ("$TERM" == "unknown") setenv TERM vt100
stty erase '^H' kill '^U' intr '^C' eof '^D' quit '^\'
stty echoe -istrip tab3
if ("$TERM" == "linux") then
setenv TERM vt100
stty erase '^?'
endif
Not sure how the telnet client in Win98 is, but the one in Win95 is
totally broken. I used an updated HyperTerminal that included telnet. I
set it to VT100, but then it wanted to call itself 'VT100' (Solaris did
not recognize upper case) and then I manually changed its id to 'vt100'.
The only problem with the HyperTerminal telnet is that it does not
display underline characters (making filenames tricky).

well there's probably a way to do this via pppd... but if all you need to
do is change the value of some /proc files... you could just add some
commands to /etc/ppp/ip-up like
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ppp0/<whatever>
just an idea

It's pretty easy. Basically, you use the htpasswd program in the support
directory to add users, and in each directory you wish to have restricted
access you add the following in a .htaccess file:
AuthName "restricted stuff"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/etc/httpd/users
require valid-user
The /usr/local/etc/httpd/users file contains the allowed users and the
encrypted password. With the first user you create this file with htpasswd
-c /usr/local/etc/httpd/users <username>, subsequent users are added with
htpasswd /usr/local/etc/httpd/users <username>
to restrict an area just to certain users, make the last line
require user <user1> <user2> etc...
