I don't know RedHat, but the dhcp server is usually called dhcpd.
Take a look at the DHCP and DHCPD mini-HOWTOs (/usr/doc/faq/howto/mini/DHCP.gz and
/usr/doc/faq/howto/mini/DHCPd.gz in Slackware, YMMV). Take a look at the
Linux Documentation Project's website (http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/), and especially
at http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/mini/DHCP.html which seems to be the latest
incarnation of those two mini-HOWTOs.
Good luck (and let us know how it worked out).

Subject: SCSI Emulation -> Network stopage?
Date: Wed, 09 Jun 1999 19:12:45 -0700
Hello...
Running RH6.0 Intel with the RH provided kernel patch (still version
2.2.5 though). I configured a custom kernel to build IDE/ATAPI CD
support as a module, and built SCSI emulation into the kernel itself
(mostly to get cdrecord to recognize my HP 8100i CD-RW drive). Other
than that, the kernel is configured in the "default" manner.
Now when anything is accessing the CD drive, my network data transfers
stall completely. This is most noticable when using cdparanoia to rip
audio tracks, but is also evident when copying large files from the CD
to disk. It's definately not CPU bound (top shows 60%+ idle). Yet
Netscape receives no data, pings to various Internet sites time out,
etc. As soon as there is no more activity on the CD drive, my network
connections operate normally.
Ideas?
Thanks,

Jack,
This is a pretty bold statement. It is obvious to many people at the moment
that the average computer user out there cannot just buy Linux from the
shelf install it and have everything work wonderfully from the work go.
But the potential is there. I think that it is important to note that Linux
is VASTLY different from MS Windows. Which is why so many people have
trouble with it. The X Windows System is constantly developing and given
some evolution time, I can't see why people wouldn't use Linux instead of
MS.
At the moment though, people want to point and click and make it happen,
they don't care who/why or what made it happen. Once company's like Red Hat
develop their systems a little more Linux will be a viable option to MS.
Kind Regards,

Hi !
Ok, I have installed RedHat 6 (Linux), including the NFS Server (V2
only, as V3 is not public) package.
I want to mount some exported PATHs on an RS/6000 Server which is under
AIX.
The problem is I don't manage to force YPBIND on the RS/6000 to mount
the remote FS as a V2. It tries to mount as V3 and fails !
So ? Some one has got the solution ?

not sure what you mean by "direct crossover" but the way it normally
works in this situation is the following:
the Linux gateway box has 2 NICs in it. One of them is used to connect
to the LAN, the other one -- to the rest of the world via DSL / Cable
modem / whatever. The fact that they are assigning you a dynamic IP is
irrelevant. The two network cards will have different IP anyway.
There is tons of information about this subject at www.linux.org/help. I
have successfully set up a gateway to share cable modem connection among
the 4 computers. I'm also running www / ftp / mail server on the box -
www.happypenguin.dhs.org (I got a static IP)
BTW, I think cable modem is a much better deal because DSL license
specifically forbids home networking. Besides, I hate Bell with a
passion...

Andrew:
Linux has no official support. Even right now distributors like Redhat
provide limited support to their customers. But that's not enough. Just take
my case: I upgrade my kernel to 2.2.1, but the document included in that
kernel never give me any info that I also have to upgrade my pppd from 2.2.0
to 2.3.6 or later. Or my ppp cannot work. How do you explain this?
I'm not an average compter user, I'm Oracle DBA. I think I know a little bit
more about computer than average user. So what about average computer user?
Even though they can buy a new PC pre-installed Linux, but I believe they
will have extremly hard time to customise the Linux envoirment.
Take more simple examples:
which is more: people know how to set up a printer under Windows 98, or
under Linux?
Which is more: people know how to set up dialup under Win98, or Linux?
What about establish home network, configure Iomega drive, configure sound
card, even network card? For these items, MS just has big advantage.
Take your example, X-win and MS win: why still over 90% users use MS win?
For corporate use, I absolutely choose Solaris or HP-UX. For personal use, I
choose NT. 'cause there rarely are any apps available for Linux. What will
you do for Linux if you want to manage your money? Photoshop for Linux?
But it's also unfair for Linux, 'cause Linux is supposed to enter enterprise
computing world instead of personal computing world. There's also little
hope for Linux because existence of Unix.
Companies with bigger bucks can use unix, with fewer money can use NT.
Companies which cannot be afford for both cannot survive. Simple as this.
One day, if we say company like ML, GS, or LU use Linux, we can say Linux is
beginning to be OK. But I don't think I have chance to see that day.

I did some experimenting last night and found the problem is with email
attachments somewhere between 6k and 16k large. I could send any size
email, and I could receive email with no or small attachments (6k was the
largest I tried that made it through), but once I tried an attachment that
was 16k, it would stop about halfway through the download and stop
transferring. I set the protocol timeout values to different values with
the ipfwadm -M -s command, but the email download would stop long before
those values ran out. I haven't tried ftp, but I've noticed no problem with
http browsing any web sites.

you can't. It's very bad for security to allow all users to connect to
the internet. You can, however, use sudo package to allow certain users
to run specific commands as root. It is included with every
distribution. Read documentation how to set it up. In the mean time, you
can use su command (switch user) to become root while you are logged in
as yourself, start the ppp connection, and stop it when you're done.

Lucas,
Had the same problem setting up dhcp client on my RH 5.2 machine. It seemed
to be exchanging correct packets with the DHCP server (Cisco 675 DSL Router)
but never config'd the interface with an IP. What I ended up having to do was
to recompile a new kernel (2.2.5) and install dhcpcd.3-17. It has worked
flawlessly since. I have seen however, other people with the exact opposite
experience, so take that for what it's worth.
Good luck.

Jim,
This is possible as long as the routers inbetween support DHCP (or bootp)
forwarding. Basically, you configure the router to forward all DHCP
broadcasts to your DHCP server.
Having said that, you'd probably have a much more robust solution if you
put a DHCP server on each of the subnets. That way if the ISDN links go
south, clients will still be able to check out and IP address.
Good Luck

I have a AMD k6-2 chip powered machine on a LAN. The machines has a
Netgear FX310 card. I have been running Redhat 5.2 for a long time,
everything has worked perfect. However, when I try telnet and ftp the
linux host from other machines in the LAN, it takes more than one minute
to get a response.
Apache server on the same linux machine works great. When I check the
inetd.conf, I found that that the default setting is to let inetd start
tcpd, then tcpd check the access control files.
I am wondering how can I get the responses faster.

Try telneting into the linux box from the client you are running the rcp
commands on. Then do "who am i" and see what the hostname shows. This
should be the exact same as you put in your .rhosts file. You'll know you
have it right when you can rlogin to the linux box from the client and it
won't ask you for a password.
Good luck!

To get DCC to work on non-standard IRC ports (i.e. not 6667) modify your

Date: Wed, 09 Jun 1999 21:30:29 -0600
Dustin,
As long as your office nameserver has a zonefile for the root nameservers,
it should be able to do the resolution for both internal and external
queries. Whenever it gets a request for something that is not in it's
zonefiles, or not in it's cache, it does a recursive search (starting at
the root nameservers) until it finds the record it is looking for. Only
when that fails should the clients go to the second nameserver (your
ISP's). You could test to see if you already have this setup just by
taking the ISP's nameserver entry out of your resolv.conf and trying to
ping an outside ip address.
For documentation on DNS, still the best reference is O'Reillys DNS & BIND
book. Is largely platform independent (if you don't count NT) and has
examples for many situations.
Good luck!

You can add as many cards as you like, provided they each have a different
IRQ and I/O address. Linux will automatically recognize the first card of
any given type. For subsequent cards you need to explicitly tell it the
card is there.
For example, if your second card was at IRQ11 and I/O address 0x310, you'd
add the following to your /etc/lilo.conf file:
append="ether=11,0x310,eth1"
See the Ethernet HOWTO for more details.
You can also add the second card after boot:
insmod -o eth1 ne2000 irq=11 io=0x310
..but then the boot-time scripts won't set up networking on that card
automatically.
