Check out http://www.igelusa.com
This company makes Linux based terminals and they are very chip! I have
about 400 of them, they work great! Also can be upgraded to Citrix based
terminals.
Good luck!

You need to add you sco machine name to the linux box's /etc/hosts.equiv and
also to .rhosts file in the home directory of user that is trying to use
rcmd.
Example:
1) I'm logged in as user1 on sco box.
2) I have user1 configured on linux box.
3) /etc/hosts.equiv on linux box has sco box's name.
4) /home/user1/.rhosts file on linux machine contains sco box's name as
well.
Now I can run rcmd from sco to linux box.
On sco box --> man rcmd to find out more!
Good luck!

Subject: Router not routing - suggestions please?
Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 09:05:02 GMT
Dear All,
we have put together a router based on a 350MHz Pentium,
with two 3C905B NICs.
Running SuSE 6.1, and I have tried kernels 2.2.7 and last night 2.2.10
Everything seems to be fine - I can ping hosts on the two networks
either side.
Routed is running with the -s flag
But it won't route!
I can see that it is not sending out Router Discovery Adveritsements
(RIPs).
Alos, bizzarely, when I try to ping the broadcast address
we get:
ping: wrote 192.168.1.255 64 chars, ret=-1
ping: sendto: Permission denied
Any ideas please?

Subject: Problem with Linux Networking, need help please

Greetings,
I recently installed a Linux box as a router for my home PC network. The
Linux box is connected to a DSL line via a LinkSys LNE100TX card. I have a
second LinkSys card connected to a 10/100 Mbps Hub which also connects to
the 2 Win98 boxes in my local net. The Windows boxes have static IP
addresses, 192.168.1.xxx and the Linux box also has a static IP,
207.55.xxx.xxx which was provided by my ISP.
Everything works. I can ping everyone and the 2 Windows PCs can share the
internet connection just fine. So what's the problem you ask? Well after a
period of time the connection stops working. It's hard to descrbe the
symptoms but essentially any requests for information from the internet time
out, whether its email, news or just plain old web surfing. I can usually
recover by rebooting the Linux machine, though sometimes I must reboot the
Windows machine as well. You can usually detect the situation by looking at
the load monitor that come up in X windows. If there is a solid black 'box'
indicating heavy loading then you can almost always be sure that the machine
needs to be rebooted.
I am running RH 5.2 straight out of the box. I have currently loaded no
patches or updates other than the latest and greatest ipfwadm. I have also
looked at the log files and an seeing an interesting entry. Another PC on
the ISP network is sending me UDP packets, alot of them. This is usually the
last entries before everything hangs. I can see where ipfwadm is denying the
UDP resuests as I expect it to. I am wondering is this is a hacker attack or
simply a rogue PC 'spraying' the net with junk UDP packets. I am also
wondering if this might be the infamous ping of death.
My questions are:
1. What if any patches should I load on top of 5.2? I have been to the Red
Hat Errata site and there is a long list of patches available. Some of them
do not appear to impact networking.
2. Are there any log files beyond what I can find in /var/log that will help
me trouble shoot the problem further? How can I tell if someone is trying to
hack the root account or any other account for that matter? Do I need to
turn loggin on somewhere?
Thanks in advance

Subject: Oddly shaped PPC ne2k-pci ethernet packets
Date: 25 Jun 1999 10:55:12 GMT
Can any gurus help me? I have a problem with an NE2000 clone (don't
groan--read on :) on a PPC which might be caused by the driver rather than
by my stupidity in configuring it. Apologies for the long list of tcpdumps
and ifconfigs.
Besides it would be in everyone's interest to get this fixed, as PCI ne2k
clones are a lot cheaper than complicated Open Firmware-enabled
ethercards. (hmm. thinking like a poor student again there :)
Thanks in advance,
Andrew.
*The actors:
duodecimo: a Fujitsu 110 Lifebook, Processor: Pentium II @233MHz,
ethercard is a PCMCIA Xircom CreditCard IIps (known working and
configured OK via pcmcia-cs). Linux kernel 2.2.7 (unpatched).
piffle: an Apple PowerMac 4400/160, Processor: PowerPC 603e @160MHz,
ethercard is a cheapo 'software confifurable' 8390-based PCI NE2000
clone made by Genius (drivers are right, card config is OK, but it
just doesn't seem to work). Kernel 2.2.7 (unpatched).
the string: properly teed and terminated 10base2.
*Symptoms
piffle does not send any TCP packets that are even recognised by the
other machine, although they're seen at SAP level by the ethercard and
the kernel at the other end. Packets sent by duodecimo are at least
seen at the TCP level by piffle, but they're all errors.
These ifconfigs are after a few "ping -v"s either way, and are by no
means synchronized:

Does anyone succeeded in using the PPP applet in the RedHat 6.0
distribution? I correctly created an interface (that is, my PPP
connection) using the network configurator, I added a PPP applet to the
panel, but if I click on it, nothing happens, so that every time I have
to open the control panel, then the network configurator, and then
I have to click on "activate" to activate the interface.
Thanks for your help!

Hello All,
I'm using Redhat 6.0 and have configured it for IP masquerade and it's
seems to be working fine.
Now what I need to do is set up port forwarding so that port 80
connections to the firewall go to one internal host while port 110 and
143 connections go to another.
I'm using IPchains and have been through plenty of readme files/websites
and have read HOWTOs until they were coming out of my ears but I'm still
in the dark on this count.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Byron.
I know you said that httpd is running. Is it listening for
connections? Check it with netstat -i. Also test it to see that it's
listening and also serving httpd by connecting to it using telnet
<hostname> 80. You may not get anything on screen using telnet but you
can issue a "get /" within the telnet command and you normally get a
message from the webserver.

Subject: DFE-500TX Tulip card (DEC DC21140) reported as DC21050
Date: 25 Jun 1999 11:32:14 GMT
I have 10 PCs all apparently identical. All with SuperMicro P6DBS
motherboards (AMIBIOS 1.3a). All fitted with D-LINK DFE-500TX 10/100
Mbit network cards. On nine of these systems everything functions as
expected and Linux (kernel 2.0.36) finds the card as a DEC Tulip and
loads the relevant driver:
Bus 0, device 16, function 0:
Ethernet controller: DEC DC21140 (rev 34).
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 11. Master Capable.
Latency=64. Min Gnt=20.Max Lat=40. I/O at 0xec00.
On the remaining machine, Linux fails to identify the card:
"Unknown Tulip Style PCI Ethernet chip type 1011 001 detected not
configured"
Bus 0, device 16, function 0: Ethernet controller: DEC DC21050 (rev 34).
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 11. Master Capable.
Latency=64. Min Gnt=20.Max Lat=40. I/O at 0xec00.
The card works fine in one of the other systems and one of the other
cards fails in the same way on this system. Indeed if I place two
500TX cards on this box they both fail to be recognised.
Running DOS and the D-LINK diagnostics fails to find the card - yet if
I install a DFE-530TX (not a Tulip) diagnostics work and the card is
identified.
I've looked through the BIOS and the system seems identical to the
others (indeed I also tried resetting its factory defaults). All
systems have an S3/VIRGE AGP card also at IRQ 11 (but a different I/O
address) which has always seemed a bit worrying to me but everthing
seems to work OK for them so why not for this. Indeed even if I shift
the card to another IRQ I still get exactly the same problem. Other
than the S3/virge, there seems to be no contention going on.
Can anyone suggest what might be wrong here. Why is it identifying the
card as a DC21050 when I can clearly see a big fat chip saying
DC21140. Why does it get the firmware right - but not the chip. Why
does the card work fine on the other PCs. Help! I've spent a fair few
hours on this but have now run oout of ideas.
Regards
Andrew

Not all PCI modems are Win-modems. It depends on your modem.
Some PCI modems will work with Linux. Find out if it is considered
a Win-modem.

Hmmm. I was running NT server on a name brand system, stock install,
the only two packages that were non-MS were wingate and seagate backup.
I made sure the service packs were installed (with R&RAS you have no
choice.)
As MS-Proxy is way too expensive, and NT does not come with a backup
that's any good, I'd say that's a minimum of stuff.
No IIS, no nothing. The ONLY thing this server was supposed to do was
provide file service and proxy service. That's it.
It never ran longer than a week without a crash of some sort.
Typically, it was R&RAS that quit working; file service was pretty
stable (except for the time that the server froze, and took the entire
NTFS with it. Seagate backup proved its worth that day).
I reinstalled the entire server 3 times in one year. After 18 months of
this, the overhead of maintaining the damn thing become too great.

Absolutely - I agree that the entire Win32 paradigm is fundamentally
flawed at its core levels. Every software package mucks about with the
core OS, both in the registry and the DLLs. It is impossible to design
in stability, or even make a realistic assumption of system behavior,
when the admin has no control over what is actually running. Worst of
all, there is no way to truly uninstall a package once the DLLs have
been changed a few times.
