Here's a reply:  All the linuxhq.com stuff moved to kernelnotes.org, so
you can find the ipmasqadm stuff at http://juanjox.kernelnotes.org/.

Not sure, but sometimes this is a problem with an stty command in the .profile,
.?shrc or .login file that is only applicable to interactive logins.  You might
try wrapping the stty command something like this:

if (?prompt) then
    stty xxxxxx
fi

Brains a little rusty on the exact shell scripting syntax at the moment, but
playing with this should get you were you need to be.

Good luck!

Baptiste,

A bit confused about what you mean by forcing YPBIND to mount a filesystem,
unless you are talking about using an automount map which is maintained in
NIS.  You should, however, be able to mount with the options "-o
proto=udp,vers=2" and force the AIX box to try only udp, version 2 NFS
requests.  This is correct syntax at least for Solaris, man "mount" for
equivalent on AIX.

Good luck!

   smbclient  It is a part of the samba system, and allows you to "mount"

   When Microsoft was about to release SP3 for NT, they were getting a lot
of lfack for sending plain text passwords over the network.  In SP3 they
set the default for NT to encrypted passwords.  Samba users flooded the
newsgroups for a while on that. :-)  They kept this concept with the later
OSr2 releases, and Win 98.  Read about the encryption option in samba.conf

   Case is irrelevent to Windows.  However, some Windows systems at some
times will "preserve" case.  That is a flag in Samba to keep compatability.
 It is settable in samba.conf

Yes, it does still apply to 6.0.  The "Official Red Hat Linux 6.0
Operating System Installation Guide", page 358, has text that is
essentially identical to my previous posting about the RH 5.2 manual's
words of wisdom regarding using two Ethernet cards of the same type.

Our company net does not have any DNS, since there are only 3 machines our
LAN connects to across the WAN (frame relay) and squid does its own DNS
caching for web access.  So I simply use net routing for the WAN and
/etc/ppp/ip-up.local (and ip-down.local) to automatically swap out
resolv.conf as needed (likewise at home for a couple of ISP's and the
office via modem).

Have you looked at linuxconf?  You can set up different system profiles
just like in (gasp) Windows.

You can change routing on the fly from /etc/ppp/ip-up.local and/or
ip-down.local as well.  If you use a web proxy in the office, you just
need to uncheck that in Netscape when on the road.

I'm looking at getting a LAN up in my house since
I am getting another computer. I've been looking
at the SOHO fast eithernet kit since it's cheap
and has everything I need. I emailed there sales
guy asking what kind of NICs came with the kit but
he didn't give me an answer. and also the kits are
PnP PCI NICs, which he said could not be disabled

so anyone know what kinds of cards the kits use
and if it's possible to get PcP PCI cards to work
in linux. I know PnP support is limited at best
under linux but I also know that if the linux as a
driver for the card I should be able to use that

I've noticed a problem with icmplog on some systems going berserk and
flooding the network with packets. I don't know why.

Try killing it (without rebooting anything) and see if it helps your network
performance.

To find the Process ID number:
#ps auxww

To kill icmplog:
#kill 174       
(where 174 is the Process ID number)

If that helps, comment it out of the file:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/iplog
so it doesn't start up on reboot.

Hello,

To telnet with root directly is a bad idea!

You can login as regular user and use 'su -' command to 'switch user' to
root.

But if it absolutely has to be direct login (I don't see why), you can
remove /etc/securetty file and root will be able to login directly.

Good luck!

1) what do you mean by `commercial use'?

2) a mail transport agent doesn't have a user interface.  it has an
   adminstrator configuration interface.  it has a mail user agent
   interface.  your users shouldn't care what MTA is installed.

Dan,

Haven't tried anything like this on RH BIND, but you might look at the DNS/BIND
book from O'Reilly, Section 10.9 "A Nonrecursive Name Server."  Theoretically, you
shouldn't have a client query such a server, but it just might work for what you
are trying to accomplish.

If you don't have the book, the named.conf directive is:


    options {
                    recursion no;
                    ..... (other options);
    };


Good luck!

No, but I've seen this sort of thing before--I think the problem is at
the sever end: the server gives up on you a bit prematurely.  Can you
download a similarly sized file from one of the major servers
(metalab, for example)?

If you're downloading a large file, avoid other network activity, so
as to get the file downloaded ASAP.

I'm assuming from your description that the ppp connection remains up
for the whole time.

You might want to let us know the IP you use, to ensure you use the same
Subnet, also, are you using a Hub, straight cable !?


Have an ice day :)

How do I use htpasswd to create a user/password file for a password
protected directory on our web site. I'm a newby to Linux and Apache so
I'll need it spelt out on how this is does.

I'm not saying I like MS, just try to say Linux is still filled with
disadvantages.

Gabe,

I am running DSL here in US Waste land and the way they have it setup is with an
external DSL "Modem" (which is really nothing more than a Cisco 675 router with
DSL interface built in).  With this configuration, I can setup the DSL to get an
address via PPP, and then have the router act as a DHCP server to assign "local"
addresses to the machines on the ethernet.  It runs a NAT (Network Address
Translation) server to translate to the outside world.

I'm not sure about Bell Sympatico, but I'm sure their solution isn't too much
different from this.

Given that, it makes much more sense to invest in a cheap hub (I've seen some in
the $30 range lately) and let the router do the routing.  The time saved in
getting the Linux box to recognize so many interfaces is well worth the few
dollars you'll have to spend.

Good luck!
