In the DMZ is our mail server, dns server and www server (all linux).
We are not a very big company (about 20 persons). Does this proxy server
need a special hardware features (i know: much cache place and fast hard
disks), or can i let it run on any of the other linux servers?

I have a couple of thousand names and email address in a file.
e.g. "Full Name","Email Address"
I want to be able to point the Outlook Express program at my linux box and
have it do a LDAP query. I can put the data in any format but I don't want
a large x.500 server app. Anyone have any recommendations for a quick and
dirty bare bones LDAP server daemon ?
PS: I have downloaded and compiled Open LDAP. It passes all of the tests
but can't figure out how to put my data into the server.

does linux ifconfig support more than 255 virtual interfaces (assuming

i'd rather not set up the 256th virtual interface and realize that my

My brain has obviously gone. I meant /etc/resolv.conf, not /etc/hosts. Of
course you are all right - the correct file is /etc/host.conf. Netscape is
still screwed though, even if you start it with another page - it always
seems to go off and look for some Netscape pages in the background anyway.

Ok, I have fixed the problem. When creating a user using the KDE user
manager, the settings are not quite correct. When I used userconf it seems
to have corrected the issue. The only thing that I can see that is
different, userconf puts the default shell (/bin/bash) in whereas KDE user
manager does not add one.

Help!
I need help getting my firewall setup correctly. I have read the
IPCHAINS-HOWTO.html over and over again, followed the examples and
can't get it working.
I have two ethernet cards on my system, both are working fine. eth0
is my internal network (ip 192.168.1.1) and eth1 is on the external
network using DHCP. I can access the internet using FTP, HTTP, MAIL,
etc... and on the internal network (eth0) I can TELNET, FTP, etc to my
firewall without a problem. I also have another PC on the internal
network (ip 192.168.1.2) setup to have the firewall as my default
gateway and default DNS (which is working fine). I have RedHat Linux
6.0, Kernal Version 2.2.5-15 using IPCHAINS.
I know I am so close to getting it working, it's driving me insane.
Does anyone with a similar configuration have a sample ipchains config
they can upload here for me to review or use on my network.
Thanks in advance!

Well, you lose! :-) It was there, but the routing still was not set. I
guess some of the network scripts that suppose to pick this number up is
faulty.

Instead of using the DOS program, you can use isapnptools. To fix

I have exactly the same problem. I re-installed the original kernel from
the YaST menu, which overwrites /usr/src/linux/.config and then re-made the
kernel. Then pppd works. I then just changed one parameter in the .config
to enable SMP support and then re-made the kernel again and then I get the
PPPIOCGUNIT error. I am very frustrated as I would like to use both
processors!
Anybody have any ideas. The interesting thing is that the RedHat 6.0
pre-compiled SMP kernel (also 2.2.5) and the RedHat pppd do not seem to
have the problem. But RedHat do not supply the .config file, so I have no
idea of the configuration they used to generate their kernel.

I am using ipmasqadm 0.4.2 (http://juanjox.kernelnotes.org/)

You may get that error any time kppp loses the connection so it doesn't point

You might try looking at www.unitedcouncil.org/proxy.html
They had a telnet client written in java. I don't recall much else about

Hi,
I have connected an ext sporster modem to my redhat and it works but not
what I expected... because the modem is not dialing immediately after I
execute the ppp-on script ! I have to wait like 3-5 mins then it dials ! Why
!?
Any ideas what's wrong with the config ? I appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Here is what I would do, and have already partially done:
1. Use RedHat version 6.0 for your O/S.
2. As far as protocols, this is not going to affect security, depending on how
you set it up. Make sure you have TCP/IP running on NT, otherwise you won't be
able to access the Linux web page internally (because Linux uses TCP/IP, and
HTTP and FTP protocols run on TCP/IP).
3. The image you have of your network looks good. It is perfectly secure to
attach your linux machine to/by a standard hub, unless you start playing with
Linux routing and end up routing all of your NT computers out to the internet,
which is very hard to do if you try, and impossible by accident.
4. Linux and NT software ?! Are you kidding? They are NOT intercompatible. If
you want a virusscan for Linux, your best bet is to go download one off
www.linuxberg.com. NT and Linux are mortal enemies (at least Gates hates Linux
anyway). RedHat 6.0 has an applications CD, which includes Corel WordPerfect
Suite, and you might find a virusscan on there, too.
5. I have no idea about backups. I use a Jaz drive on my tiny network, but I
would think Tape would be the cheapest.
6. Hardware configuration. Hmmm...Since you are going to be exporting this to
the internet, get at least a high end pentium, if not a multiple oentium
processor computer. This isn't going to be cheap, but if you plan on doing any
business via web, it will role in the dough. Get at least a T1 to the internet,
if you dont alreay have one. As far as an NIC, a 100mbs will do (I recomend
3com products).
Make sure you write a message to the group when the page gets up!

I have a stand alone RH5.2 system. I attempted to configure apache
with the Comache program but it may have caused an error.
I tried naming my local serever and then got a bunch of errors from
Apache. The errors apparently come from the httpd.conf file but I
don't understand what needs to be done.
Any advice?

Subject: Linux proxy + firewall
Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 15:43:06 +0200
Hi all!
We plan to use a socks5 Linux proxy in our network.
Our network consits of a firewall (Checkpoint FW-1) with 3 ports: 1 for LAN,
1 for DMZ and 1 for the Internet.
My question is: Where should we place the proxy server (which network) to be
sure that everything works and everything as secure as possible ?
