Subject: Need some help with RH5.2 Networking
Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 18:17:07 -0700
Greetings,
I apologize if this post is redundant, but my previous post doesn't seem to
have made it.
Anyway, I have constructed a home network that includes a Linux host that
serves as a front end to a DSL internet connection. There are 2 Win98
machines on a private net (192.168.1.xxx) that share the internet
connection. I am also using IP_Masquerading.
Everything works great, when it works. The problem I am having is this.
After a period of time the Linux box will quit forwarding any requests to
the Internet and for all intents and purposes 'hangs'. Usually a reboot of
the Linux box will re-initialize everything and I am back in business.
Sometimes I need to reboot one or both of the Win98 machines too.
I can see from the messages log in /usr/var that I am getting a flood of UDP
packets from an address within the ISPs network. Ipfwadm is dutifully
denying the request but it would appear that this UDP flood is a possible
cause of the hangs. I am wondering if this is a hacker attack or just some
wayward machine 'spamming' the network with junk UDP packets.
What I am wondering is:
1. What patches do I need to load to RH5.2? I checked the Errata site at Red
Hat and there are a number of updates to 5.2, some effect networking and
some do not.
2. What log files can I look at that will help me determine if there is a
security breach? Is there anything beyond what is found in /var/log?
3. Do these Masquerading rules look correct?
For input rules: Default Policy: Deny
type prot source destination ports
acc all home.net/24 anywhere n/a
home.net is my private network (192.168.1.0)
deny all home.net/24 anywhere n/a
acc all anywhere 207.xxx.xxx.xxx/24 n/a
207.xxx.xxx.xxx is my ISP network, I edited out the specific numbers for
security
acc all anywhere anywhere n/a
deny all anywhere anywhere n/a
For output rules: Default Policy: Deny
type prot source destination ports
acc all anywhere home.net/2 n/a
home.net is my private network (192.168.1.0)
deny all anywhere home.net/24 n/a
deny all home.net/24 anywhere n/a
deny all anywhere home.net/24 n/a
acc all 207.xxx.xxx.xxx/24 anywhere n/a
207.xxx.xxx.xxx is my ISP network, I edited out the specific numbers for
security
acc all anywhere anywhere n/a
deny all anywhere anywhere n/a
For forwarding rules: Default Policy: Deny
type prot source destination ports
acc/m all home.net/24 anywhere n/a
acc all anywhere anywhere n/a
I am confused by lines like:
acc all anywhere home.net/24 n/a
followed by
deny all anywhere home.net/24 n/a
First I accept then I deny everything. Is the second rule not invoked since
it is overridden by the first rule?
Thanks in advance
Cheers
TC

You may not have the right wires connected. 10BaseT and 100BaseTX
use 1,2,3,6. 1&2 should be a twisted pair, and 3&6 should be a pair,
otherwise it may not be reliable - even at a relatively short distance.

Try to keep the untwisted length to 0.5" or less - if it is 100 BaseT
(according to my patch panel's doc). Also, if you are not using
CAT-3 or better cable for 10 BaseT or CAT-5 for 100 BaseT, you
should probably change the cable.

Hello,
I am having a fair amount of trouble getting a ppp link to work. I can get
connected, get an IP address, but then i have no dns, i can not connect to
anything using a ip address (except the shell server here). I cannot ping
or traceroute the dns servers, or the the remote server... I have default
route and default gateway set in kppp. I am baffled by this. any
suggestions? I really want this to work, darn it.... :)

Subject: Gnome, CDE, & Exceed 6.1 question
Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 01:43:48 GMT
Hi,
I have a Linux box running RedHat 6.1 with Gnome as the
default window manager, and a NT Server system with Exceed 6.1.
I also have a copy of Xi Graphics MaXimum CDE (will upgrade soon).
When I dial in at work, I can display a CDE desktop from a Sun
system if I have Exceed set to do a XDMCP Query.
I would like to:
- use Exceed to display a Gnome desktop on the NT box
or
- install the xdm (or dtlogin) daemon on RedHat, and run
CDE using Exceed, and NOT kill Gnome on the RedHat system.
Any suggestions?

We used (until it stopped feeding paper, and then finally
gave a consistent 3-light error code) a 5l with Linux (RH5)
and Samba for a year. A year of heavy, though not
consistent use. It never had any problems coming off
of sleep mode. (This was running on a P60 with a
standard SPP parallel port card.)

Subject: CGI displays raw HTML code?
Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 21:09:47 -0500
I posted this before, but maybe it got lost in another
thread. I've got a CGI program that I'm working on (basically
a Hotmail-style interface for our local email).
Whenever the CGI program first runs (called from a static
HTML page with a form for username/password) for a Netscape(*)
browser, it displays the raw HTML source of the page it
automatically generates (the user's inbox listing).
(If it matters, this page sends a cookie.)
If you 'Reload' and 'Repost form data' the page displays
properly, and all subsequent pages generated by the same
script load and display properly. It's just that first
time logging in.
Now, if I pull up the same site in Internet Explorer 4.0,
it always displays properly, every time.
I don't have any Perl directives in my *.conf files;
the CGI code in question is compiled C code.
Anyone have any suggestions? Many thanks in advance!

First I am sorry for cross post. I can not seem to get my network card with

*I* believe you, but my ISP (erols) says otherwise. Or it may be more
accurate to say that they have trouble accepting the ppp that comes with
linux. I've seen something somewhere that said to not use it, and the
error message I got was LCP requests timed out.
If I'm mistaken in this, I'll happily learn more. I've not read PPP
(oreilly), but have done the Linux Network Admin guide, and some stuff
on PPP elsewhere.
What's generating the error? ANd what's the configuration option to fix
it?
lemme know.

You would probably be better off making the Win 9x box[es] go through
the RedHat system. (I am writing this on my pride & joy NT REAL WORK
SYSTEM heh heh heh, which goes through my Linux PLAY TOY)....
Or.... You can run WinProxy or I think WinGate. Supposedly, there will
be another release of 98 - like OSR2 - which will have "internet sharing",
which should do what you want as well. If you really want to do this on
Windows, you should use NT - even NT Workstation. The network code,
memory management, and multitasking in Win 9x are abysmal compared to
NT. MS Proxy server can do this, but Back Office is really expensive.
Oh.... I almost forgot. I am wearing my asbestos gloves and flame-retardant
suit, so flame at will.
Enjoy.....
