Hi all,
I wonder if there's a link between nfs inodes and ext2 inodes.
Actually, I got nfs errors telling me that that inode 556367879 is busy
and that it points to communicator4.5.
But on my hard drive, the communicator4.5 's inode is 1701924.
I don't understand nothing !! Help me please !
Thanks.

Subject: PPP session works, but cannot ping
Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 17:15:43 GMT
I am having difficulty with PPP in getting to any IP addresses with my
ISP. I am using Caldera OpenLinux V2.2. After some initial
difficulties with the default gateway settings, I was able to dial into
the ISP and apparently setup a ppp session. However, I cannot seem to
communicate with anythig outside my system. I have reviewed the routing
table carefully, everything seems to be correct, but when I ping
anything through the gateway, I get no response.
I used the instructions from W.G. Unruh's "How to hookup PPP in Linux",
and essentially got the same results. Unruh indicates that if you
cannot ping IP addresses, there is something wrong in the routing
configuration, but I certainly cannot find the problem. Please review
my configuration and let me know what I am doing incorrectly. I have
included a listing of:
PPP options file
chat command line
debug log dump
route -n output during ppp0 session
resolve.config file
host.config file
host.alow file
host.deny file
Thank you in advance for your help!

Subject: Reccomendations for Linux DHCP daemon?
Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 17:09:49 GMT
We are moving services from our NT and Netware boxes to our Linux box
and want to get a good DHCP and mail server for it. Can anyone here
reccomend a good DHCP daemon (our first priority) and a good mail
client.
The DHCP daemon must keep its data in an accessible text file so we can
access it through our interactive sign-up site (currently the only non-
automated part of our process). It also must have the ability to block
out ranges and hold reservations for specific hardware addresses so we
can keep people at their same IP throughout the year.
The mail server needs to be a standard mail server. We don't want
anything fancy, just something solid that sends and receives mail and
doesn't try to be a "groupware" or anything like that.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Pollack

Hi,
Look at /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services.
Search for telnet and compare with mine. I think the problem could come
from these files.
/etc/inetd.conf :
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd
/etc/services :
telnet 23/tcp
You must have another daemon listening port 23.
Hope this helps !

If it is a PCI modem it is almost certainly a winmodem If it is not the
manufacturer will proudly state the fact on the box that the modem works
under any operating system.
If it is USB, forget it. USB support for anything is primative to
non-existant in linux.
If it is ISA, there is a reasonable probability it is useable-- if it
has jumpers on board for you to select the IRQ and port, than the
probablity goes up.
If it is an external serial cable connected modem, the chances are very
high that it is useable.
Try the site
http://www.math.sunysb.edu/~comech/tools/CheapBox.html#modem
and refereces therein for advice on modems.

It does. Unfortunately Netscape decided to impliment their own resolver
routines and completely ignore the machne it was installed on. Netscape
thus does NOT use the hosts file. There is no way you can force it to as
far as I know. It ignores all options you have set and just goes its own
merry way. Yell at Netscape!

nslookup is precisely to look up things on the web and not to look at
your hosts table ( the writers assumed you could look at your own hosts
file yourself).

Well, tell netscape not to resolve any names. Ie, do not have it start
up anything when it starts-- or give it a file on your own machine as
the home page. NOte that you could also put in the IP address of the
server instead of its name That way there is nothing to look up.

yes there IS something special about passwords on nt4&sp3 and win98,
they use password encryption
( i'm wondering you never heard that before)
you have to add EnablePlainTextPassword 1 in your registry
pls look for the correct key in this newsgroup or in nt.networking
somewhere .
or set up samba with encryption - again, pls look up this newsgroup or
samba/howto ( samba2.0 or better req)

Because each of the writers decided to do things differently. I think it
is far easier to just write you own script so that you retain control
over the system, but some like the fancy stuff that the other does (and
which half the time does not work).
Eg, see
axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html
for even another way of doing things. (Although I think it also teaches
you what happens so you understand what the various bits of ppp are all
about, but then I am biased)
