Ok,
I want to thank everybody VERY much who helped me!!!!
Seems Suse 6.1 has the same problem as RedHat,
so you simple have to disable the W95 SMB bug workaround
when using a NT server an that's the trick !!!!

If you want to use static IP address for host abcd why do you want to
have dynamically updated DNS?
Include the IP hostname combination in your zone/rev files.

Hi there Serge have a look I am not to sure but on most sys v systems you
have a utility called nice
try a man nice and have a look it allows you to change priority on a process
Hope this helped

Please READ the link instead of assuming I don't know what I'm talking
about. PhonePatch is an H.323 gateway server for Linux/Win32/Solaris that
sits on the firewall box and arbitrates between internal NetMeeting clients
and external. Hopefully the OpenH323 project eventually will get this far,
but currently PhonePatch or opening huge amounts of ports are your two
options for getting NetMeeting to work (IRC).

As I understand it, this is a problem with the kernel provided with RH6.0:
when configuring smb support there is an option called 'Windows 95 bug-fix'
whose help text warns that it should _only_ ever be used if _all_ the windows
machines sharing files are 95 boxes. Apparently the default kernel in RH6.0
has this option compiled in, and it does Bad Things (TM) to date fields
when talking to NT or '98 servers.

if you just want to run a news server for a small network then have a

>(Excepting ftp--I do remember seeing firewall modules for it...)
This is sort of right although the explanation is screwy....
Basically with FTP (non passive mode), the server opens up data
channels *to* the client - ie coming back in through the firewall.
You can't generally do this, so you need something on the firewall
that reads the information going over the control channel and sees
that a data connection is about to be opened up, and both rewrites
that info so that each side sees the address sets they expect to see
and pokes a hole in your firewall to let the connection through.
Netmeeting is much the same but much much more complex. Connections
fly all over the place, there are several control connections, some of
which are set up dynamically themselves, and the protocol content is
complicated. It would be possible to write a masq helper to do this
in the way that the ip_masq_ftp module does, although the complexity
makes it much easier and safer to do as a user mode program which uses
transparent proxying rather than masquerading.
However despite many good intentions no-one has produced code for this
yet - apart from anything else your first need is to go off and buy
copies of the H.323 and related specs from the standards orgs. Its a
hard problem to fix.
Nigel.

Hi, i'm programming a program to telnet through a proxy (netscape
proxy) by http tunneling everything in a POST request. I succeeded to
connect outside and to receive messages from the outside too but i
can't send more than 1 request. The proxy forward the first request for
the same opened connection. Is there any way to make a proxy forward
several requests with a same connection?

Be advised that my source for Tulip cards (KTI) informs me that DEC (that

You will eventually be unable to purchase Tulip-based cards.

I don't think you can without some changes in PC hardware. The usual PC

Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 19:33:05 +0200
Hi,
is there a way to delete existing masquerading entries before they
time out? A method to simply flush all existing masqueraded
connections would be sufficient. I already tried to set the
Masquerading-Timeout-values to a very small value (i.e. 1 second), but
this did not have any effect (the timeouts seem to work only for newly
created masquerading entries afterwards). Any existing masqueraded
connections continue until their time is up.
I'm running Kernel 2.2.9 with recent ipchains and iproute2 utilites.
Thanx for any hints,

This is very difficult, if not impossible. You can't do that at
all if there are alternative paths between the source and the
destination, not just your router, because some packets may
take the alternative route. Even if all packets pass through
your router, you must be prepared to deal with fragmentation,
retransmission of differently packaged data (rare, but in
theory possible), etc.
By the way, what do you want to hack ?

Well, iexplore.exe won't cut it. Opera hasn't been releases. KFM lacks support
for java(script) and lynx lacks almost everything. Anything I forgot for
browsing?
Remember this is for a Cybercafe not for some Linux Guru wanting to read the
LDP.
I think write protecting (mount readonly)the whole filesystem apart from the
~/.netscape/cache directory would protect you from most attacks. Set the shell
to some script starting Netscape if not running. Disable everything. Give
permissions to do zilch. Can't be that hard. Maybe not even the cache and use
a local proxy?
BTW:
Maybe you could follow the netiquette in your postings? ">" for quotes? Is it
that hard? Look at the mess you made, bad boy!

I doubt that the smbmount utility and/or the kernel modules smbfs ever
reads and interprets the smb.conf files. Thus any settings there won't
change a thing.
