Hi Eric,
Let me know more about your requirement for a Firewall (i.e., Set of
Rules). If only to restrict your users to access certain sites, you can very
well use Squid Proxy Server. ( http://squid.nlanr.net/Squid/ )

That's likely because once you've gotten to single machines

UltraSparc Enterprise territory in terms of price.

The following is directly from the FAQ file included in the pppd
source file archive:
========================================================================
Q: When I try to establish a connection, I get an error message saying
"Serial line is looped back". Why?
A: Probably your connection script hasn't successfully dialled out to
the remote system and invoked ppp service there. Instead, pppd is
talking to something which is just echoing back the characters it
receives. The -v option to chat can help you find out what's going
on. It can be useful to include "~" as the last expect string to
chat, so chat won't return until it's seen the start of the first PPP
frame from the remote system.
Another possibility is that your phone connection has dropped for some
obscure reason and the modem is echoing the characters it receives
from your system.
========================================================================
You can find the full pppd archive with documentation here:

Subject: fixing the from header
Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 01:58:56 GMT
Hi,
I'm having trouble mapping the outgoing sender
address to an isp address. I'm using SuSE 6.1
with kernel 2.2.7:
1) FROM-HEADER via YaST set to : isp.com
2) genericstable set to : sean [EMAIL PROTECTED]
3) virtualtable set to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] sean
I can send (using /usr/lib/sendmail -q )
and receive (using fetchmail -a ) with no problems.
BUT... the from header of all sent messages
s still mangled and looks like:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
when it should be:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Any ideas as to why my settings for genericstable
is not working ( and yes, I've run SuSEConfig...)
The key difference is the username on my Linux
box is different than the username at my ISP. But
I thought genericstable fixes that? Why isn't it
correctly setting my From: header? Or is there something
else I need to change to fix that?
Thanks,
Sean

This is one of those "it's not a problem; it's supposed to work that way"

is *not supposed* to be routed out onto the Internet. The good news is
that your system already has the necessary stuff in it to do what you want.
Kernels at least since 2.0.35 have had IP Masquerading built into them by
default, and so you only want to turn it on, and you'll get the effect that

When discussing NT vs. Linux, it is useful to note that Linux-based
solutions can scale up to Solaris or any other commercial Unix with
little if anything beyond a simple recompile, while NT "solutions"
require a total rewrite. This is one of many reasons why Linux is
preferred over NT for developing potentially scalable software.

Most "linux advocates" aren't completely blind, and don't/wont use linux
for everything. In particular, if a network requires (X) low end servers (1)
and (Y) high end servers, most of us would install linux ( or possibly BSDs )
on the (X)'s and Solaris on the (Y)'s. We certainly don't advocate NT on
the Y's since it's not as scalable as Solaris. And on the (X)'s, linux and
friends simply give much more value for money.
If for some reason low end hardware wasn't useful for any of the tasks at hand
( which is quite unlikely... ) we wouldn't use linux.
An interesting point: Netware's scalability is abysmal ( see the PC Week
article , which says that it's SMP is *worse* than linux's ) , but that hasn't
held it back. This has a lot to do with the fact that for file and webserving,
low end hardware provides a greater performance/cost ratio ( as any NT advocate
will tell you the moment you say "Solaris" )

I don't think diald automatically tells you exactly why it is bringing
itself up. On my machine, it does send a message to
"/var/log/messages" every time it comes up. But that message doesn't
specify which rule was responsible for bringing the link up.
On my installation of diald, there is a file called "standard.filter"
in the directory "/etc". This file, which came with the distribution
of diald, controls what packets bring the link up and keep it up. It
has many explanatory comments.
I do not fully understand everything in the file myself, but if you
can find this file on your machine somewhere, you can play with it.
Also, you can post portions of it with questions and people can answer
them.
let me know if you want me to email my "standard.conf" to you.

Yes, it is most probably possible. Read

The only way you could not connect would be if they used chap 81 and

Subject: Ip-Masq timeouts
Date: 16 Jun 1999 03:04:24 GMT
Hi, I'm not sure where to start on this problem. I've recently replaced
an old solaris firewall with a new linux firewall. Its working fine,
but suddenly connections like ssh, oracle management tools, and anything
else that holds open a tcp connection is getting closed much sooner than
it should be. I know solaris automaticly logs you out if you're idle too
long, but this just started. The thing is, the firewall has a different
IP from the old firewall. So its possible that theres something setup
that had been allowing the old firewall to keep its connections open
longer.
I guess what I'm asking is, has anyone else noticed tcp connections
being automaticly closed on them, and if so what did you do to fix it?
Or, do you think its something on the solaris side?

Diald has an awseome activity filter, my ignorance of how to fully
exploit its power notwithstanding.
I tried ignoring all netbios packets, but either I didn't do it right
or it didn't help. I played with the rules quite a bit, in fact, but
I never found a way to filter only those packets. At the time I was
not running samba, so what I ended up doing was disconnecting all of
microsoft's networking services from tcp/ip and leaving them bound
instead to netBEUI. This allowed me to have a windows lan using
netBEUI without my lan traffic bringing up the linux server's ppp
link. Because tcp/ip was still installed, I still had internet
access, but the windows networking software did not use tcp/ip at all,
and was therefore ignored by linux. It did not allow samba to work,
of course.
If I were still worried about it (which I am not), I guess I would try
to follow Tim's suggestion to use tcpdump to find out exactly what
kind of packets were coming from the windows machine.

The CONNECT exists in the script - I assure you. The script just never executes
it (as you can see above), it 'connects' (somehow) and then says the serial
line is looped back.

I tried minicom right after the first time it didn't work - no problems
connecting, just couldn't get pppd to start after I exited minicom. So the
problem didn't occur when I used minicom, which prompted me to look at pppd
(hence my query).
Thanks for your help,

Subject: RH4, ethernet detection problem
Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 04:04:00 GMT
i'm running a pentium with a D-Link DE528CT ethernet PCI adapter,
and can't figure out how to get it running.
i've checked the ethernet and net-2 how-to's as well as many other
sites on the internet and books (as well as the card's instructions),
and all i've been able to come up with so far is that it is NE2000
compatible.
i recompiled the kernel with support for the NE2000, but that didn't
work. i tried just passing the arguments to the kernel in lilo.conf with
the append command "ether=11,0,0,eth0" and a few other settings
to try and get it to be detected automatically. it didn't work, though.
when i did an lsdev it would show eth0, with the right memory
address but the wrong irq, and it would also not let me use the
device for anything.
i also tried compiling with the rtl8029 driver that d-link has on their
website, but i couldn't figure out how to add it. putting the rtl8029.c
file in the /usr/src/linux/drivers/net (or whatever the directory with the
other networking drivers is) and adding the option to the kernel
and appending the files with the other drivers in them didn't work.
any one have any suggestions? it doesn't sound like that hard of
a problem to add something like that to the kernel, but i've never had
to hack around with it before.
the ethernet card is the one that rogers @home gives to it's cable
modem subscribers if they don't get a 3COM card, or don't already
have one.
other information that might be needed to help me:
at bootup the PCI card is picked up at IRQ 11 (i imagine it keeps
that the whole time? it does in windows.
also it uses the I/O range of 6100-611F (in all the how-to files i see
the other cards are listed with addresses like 0x300 .. does this
convert to something like that?)
any help would be greatly appreciated.
