Subject: Corrupted eMail files
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 16:44:39 +0800
Hi there,
I have a problem with my eMail. When I receive a file over about 100K (I
guess it is possible that all messages are being corrupted and I can't
notice it on smaller messages) it seems to get corrupted. Some characters
get translated or if there is an attachment, then I cannot open it.
The problem is only for incoming eMail ie. eMail that I receive, I can send
files as large as I like and there is no problem. Web surfing seems to be
OK, but again it may be that I dont notice the corruptions on smaller
transfers.
I have a socks firewall, and if I try to access my mail without the
firewall I dont seem to have the same problem. This would seem to indicate
a problem with the firewall, but then shouldn't the problem be for traffic
going both ways.
The firewall machine has a NE2000 and 3Com 3c509 ethernet card - any
problems with the driver. I tend to think it is the pop3 server, but was
wondering if anyone else had any ideas.
Cheers
Craig

Hi Newbie here,
I have set up a server using Sendmail 8.8.8 to act as a mailaserver f�r a
domain. So far so good!
My questinon really is, if you got 2 domains say: a.com and b.com.
The mailserver is c.a.com, I want to be able to send mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] --> to the user fredrik
[EMAIL PROTECTED] --> to the user kalle
via the same server but to different users.
The mail will eventually be adressed the same mailserver. c.a.com
and the user is info... How can I separate these users??

Subject: Strange problem... does eth* discovery order matter?
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 07:16:20 GMT
For quite some time I had been running a dual NIC
linux box under redhad 5.x. After a fairly
painful upgrade (you name it, fun with bios,
disks, etc.), I was up an running with Mandrake
6.0
Previously I had my DSL modem connected to eth0, a
10Mb onboard ethernet card using dhcp[client].
The second NIC, 100Mb was connected to my internal
network with a static ip, and was running fine
with IP masquerading, etc.
So even though I managed to lose all my config
files, I didn't expect too much trouble recreating
the previous setup. No such luck!
Everything works fine when I havethe 100Mb card
connected to the DSL, using dhcp and the 10Mb card
using a static ip. But clearly this is not ideal
and it makes much more sense to have the 100Mb
card connected to the LAN.
The primary symptoms (other than it not working!)
are:
-I cannot reliably get the 10Mb card up using
dhcp.
-Even when I do, I get logs of "kernel: eth0:
transmit timed out, status 0073, resetting."
I have mucked around with it for quite a few
hours, and am not happy.
-How is the kernel discovery order of the various
eth devices determined? could this make any
difference?
-Since the cards are different, two different
modules are loaded. They clearly work since both
cards work with static ips.
-Are there any ordering dependent steps which I
should look at? Any other tests people think to
run?
-I am quite ignorant of the details of what the
dhcp client side does, and background or pointers
here?
I looked around for relevent updates, but what I
have seems up to date.
kernel: Linux version 2.2.9-19mdk
dhcp: dhcp-2.0b1pl6-7mdk
Here are a few pieces of system info:
Excerpts from dmesg (sorry about the formatting):

eth0: PCnet/PCI 79C970 at 0x70a0, 00 80 5f 02 26

Enabling bus-master transmits and whole-frame
receives.
We can see that eth0 (10Mb) and eth1 (100Mb) are
found by the kernel, no problems here.
>From ifconfig (this is the direction that works,
but swap eth0 and eth1 and it is the same config
which does not work!):

When eth0 and eth1 are swapped in the above
example, eth1 (now the static ip) works fine, but
for eth0 nothing works and I get the following
error message over and over again:
kernel: eth0: transmit timed out, status 0073,
resetting.
Routing seems fine (I haven't gotten forwarding
up, but that isn't needed until the darn thing
works!)
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi out there!
I managed to get RedHat5.2 use my ISDN Board and to make the other pc�s
in the net use squid as a www proxy.
I also managed to get the Win-95 clients use samba for printing and
file-sharing.
But I didi not manage to get both working at the same time. If both
services a started, none of them works. Each alone works fine. It does
not matter which one I start first?
So my question is: How do make both services work?
Thanks for any advice

Subject: mgetty + ppp server problem
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 08:36:43 GMT
I'm trying to setup a ppp server on our linux box which is also a
gateway to the internet for our local network. The internet access
works fine through a leased line using ppp0.
Now I installed a second modem and mgetty. I read all the HOWTO's I
could find (PPP-HOWTO, SERIAL-HOWTO, MODEM-HOWTO and the LDP article
about setting up a PPP server).
The modem answers and connects but the rate transfer is extremely slow
(it takes more than 5 minutes to login as root). When I try to start
pppd manually I receive a "/dev/ttyS2 locked by pid nr.".
I removed the LCK..ttyS2 file and I tried to fire up pppd. I received
the following message "timed out sending configuration ...".
Can anyone help me ?
Thanks in advance !

I've noticed a similar situation. I recently ran a program that runs
some indepth calculations. When I ran it with a non-smp kernel (2.2.5),
the results were much quicker than with the smp version of the same
kernel.
I ran gtop during the runs and noticed on the cpu1 / cpu2 scales, the
load seemed to bounce between the two processors, not shared. It's
obvious the app couldn't take advantage of the dual processors - but
it's scary that it actually performed worse.

Hello.
The solution has nothing to do with the bios. I think most of
people use lilo (LInux LOader) to be able to choose their os at boot
time. To do so, you have to edit /etc/lilo.conf (the configuration file)
then enter the command lilo. You may also need to use cfdisk to
make your linux partition bootable (remove the bootable flag from
your dos partition). Once it is done, the next time you reboot you
should see the prompt LILO. Hit Ctrl and choose where you want to go
(hit Tab for help). Keep a boot floppy of linux in case something would
go wrong.

Well, I think if you have firewalling enabled you can use ipfwadm to
set blocking policies. You would normally have to recompile the
kernel, I think, with firewall support.
Until a more thourough answer comes along, do this:
% man ipfwadm
good luck.

We are using chrony instead of xntpd; works better if you don't have
a permanent link to the time server. It should be available on

Hi,
I have a problem.
If I want connect via Notes Client (4.6.1) to a Notes Server (4.6.1) via
Internet via IP-Address, I get the following message:
"Connection denied! You requested 199.199.199.199 but connected to
server.name/Domain."
The problem is, we have configure a firewall on a Linux-LeasedLine Router
with ipchains. And in the background runs the RINETD for the redirection for
the Notes Server in the lokal network for the own port 1352.
The offical IP-Address is for the Linux Router ISDN-Card (for example
199.199.199.199) and the network card is from the internal net
(192.168.100.14). The Notes Server is running under Win NT and as also a
number from the internal network (192.168.100.30).
Who can help, so that I can make a correct connection?
Thanks

Forgive the sarcastic tone, but I thought I made it very clear that
wasnt an option in this instance. You want the long version? Ok...
(and this is just one example of where such a feature would be helpful
and justified.)
The client company that I work for is using AltaVista Tunnel for
secure access to the company's network across a VPN. PPTP required
far too many ports to be opened through their firewall. AV Tunnel
requires only one. Since there is no Linux client compatible with
AltaVista, I am forced by that situation to run a Windows client so
that I can run the AV client software.
One justification for AV Tunnel was encryption. IP-Masq'ing does
nothing to encrypt data in either direction.
Another VERY POWERFUL justification right now against a
Linux-compatible solution from a purely business perspective, is Y2K
compliance. There are just too many pieces, from too many different
uncontrolled sources on the typical Linux installation for the
stock-holders to allow a Linux server right now. Perhaps in another
8-10 months or a year, but not right now.
AltaVista gets upset when you run it through IP Masquerading. The IP
address of the source client must be used in the encryption of the
data, and spoofing/swapping/changing the IP by running it through IP
Masq'ing must "invalidate" the packets since the AV server is
rejecting the connection.
So, I can't run a Linux Proxy with a Windows client and AV Tunnel
behind it.
I'm also connected to a cable modem that limits me to a single IP
address unless I want to pay $10/month for each additional IP address.
Therefore, I need to run a proxy of one sort or another if I wish to
give all of my machines access to the 'net.
So, I chose to impliment Microsoft Proxy 2.0 on NT 4.0, with both a
RedHat 6.0 and Win98 client behind it.
I keep the NT server up with AltaVista Tunnel running on it 24x7.
Microsoft Proxy provides all the services I need to my Windows 98
client (including reverse-proxy to my web-cam software, and other such
goofy stuff). By using SAMBA and Telnet, I can control everything on
my Linux box through the 98 client, downloading straight to
SAMBA-mapped drives, etc. Using the Citrix WinFrame client allows
connections to the NT Terminal Server environment at the office from
the 98 workstation via MS-Proxy, and directly mapping drives accross
the VPN to the stand-alone NT servers there is also possible.
I use MS-Proxy's Winsock Proxy client on 98 , and haven't bothered
trying to "socksify" and maintain socks'd and unsocks'd versions of
tools on the Linux box. (Let's see... would that be socks 4 or socks
5?) Using SSH doesnt give me access to several important services
(would that be SSH 1.x? or 2.x? 2.x with 1.x compatibility or not?)
It's not worth it since I can control everything from the 98 client.
Including the use of X tools (both locally on my RH box and on the
UNIX servers at the shop), using Exceed on the 98 machine.
So...
Unless you'd care to argue the case for a Linux-friendly secure access
mechanism to my customer (one that remains compatible with all the
other users' Windows machines), or recompile all the tools on my Linux
system to handle a socks proxy (yet still remain useful on my LAN), I
would think there would be others like myself that could find a
"proxy-aware" IP stack useful.
Consider too, all the companies out there that use MS-Proxy in-house
as the firewall/proxy for their desktop PC's. If you'ld like to run
Linux on a few of the desktops at work, making them better able to
handle the proxy server would be better than telling the company they
screwed up not using a Linux-friendly solution. Remember, you are in
the minority once you enter the desktop domain where Windows still
gets all the attention. Doesnt make a very good impression to
management. And, it's so much easier to support the end users when
they dont even have to know what a proxy server is. The MS-Proxy
winsock client makes it just that transparent to the end user. And
single sign-on authentication via their NT logins eliminates all
end-user "why do I need so many logins?" whining.
No pro-Linux arguments will outweigh the cost savings in end-user
support, where 4700 potential users at 430 remote sites are concerned.
A co-conspirator in all of this, and a good friend of mine (he's also
an MCSE+Internet) made the observation that NT will most likely never
"replace" UNIX in a shop such as ours. Instead, it will "surround"
UNIX. UNIX will do the real business work, while NT supports the
end-users. This is probably a fair statement. Regardless,
co-existance in a mixed-platform environment has it's advantages.
Hey, as long as I can get my work done..,

IIRC there's a Masquerading Howto that covers this specifically. Its
a common usage of Linux - getting all your machines on the network with

Of course, the funniest thing is that you can't "upgrade" from Win9x
to NT. Nope. Cant be done. You have to backup your data, reformat
the drive, install NT "fresh", re-install all of your apps, and then
restore your data.
Upgrade from DOS? Yes. From Win3.x? Yes. From 9x? No.
For starters, NT wont read VFAT/FAT32, and it doesn't understand the
Win9x registry.

The original Ethernet specifications cover all the hardware working
together - cable losses, signal frequency, signal level etc. Very few
nets today are strictly 'to spec'. Most people use RG58 for thinwire
ethernet, which isn't actually to spec (the losses are worse, and the
cable diameter is slightly different). However, the original Etheret
specs were so conservative that you can get away with murder. I once
terminated a segment by cutting a piece of cable in half and attaching
the graphite centre from a pencil. Just keep an eye on the error
rates...

I found that the missing link from all the how-tos etc was setting up
default routes once the connection was established.
Use the route command to add a static route to your nameserver then use the
route command again to make this your default route.
(This is possibly best added to your ipup script once you have it all sorted
manually)

Maybe the selected fraction ?
Under 'View'/'Messages' the 'fraction' could be:
All
New
Threads with Unread
Watched Threads with Unread
Ignored Threads
..Your choice, unless the default is still in effect
