The machine is connected to a LAN and the network settings are configured
properly. I am able to connect to the machine from any other machine via
the telnet, ftp, mail, news, daytime, etc., just not http. I can't access
the http port from the machine itself, from any of the other machines in the
local network, or from any machines outside the local network. I have done
quite a bit of reading on the topic, and I have configured http access on
other machines before. However, on the other machines, I was always doing a
full install of linux. My question was what exactly is the minimum I need
to install to get a working web server, and I know it's not just the base
stuff and apache. There's something missing that I haven't been able to
figure out.

Try using 576 as your ppp mtu size. 1500 is used on hardwired ethernet
network connection because TCP/IP works best with a bigger MTU over fast
connections like this. However, ppp works differently than ethernet and
obviously isn't as fast. This is a serious over simplification, but if
you want more info, there are good sites out there that can describe the
problems, solutions, and whys much better. If you leave the MTU on the
windows boxes at 1500 (assuming an ethernet network) and then set the
Linux mtu, then the kernel will take care of the math and everything
should work fine.

Try replacing the local accounts with matching uid/gids with NIS
accounts. This should be cleaner, and it works as long as no local
accounts match the uid's of the NIS accounts.

Look in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file and locate the part that
says
ServerName
If your PC is named dkselich, then this line should look like this
ServerName dkselich
That is if you have made a change in your /etc/hosts file and enetered in
something like this
127.0.0.1 dkselich.com dkselich
You must also tell apache where the ServerRoot directory is. I believe
their is a line in srm.conf that must look like this
ServerRoot /etc/httpd/conf
I may be mistaken on that one.

Knock yourself out.
I don't especially care what you or anybody else uses. I'm just amused
by all the "<myOS> is perfect and omniscient and runs on a Texas
Instruments calculator from 1975, and everything else is garbage and
it's users should be beaten" responses.
Because if you actually did this for a living, you would notice that
now and then a customer will request a specific OS, and it's much more
profitable to smile and take their money and give them what they want,
than to try to convert them to your religion and sell them something
else.
It makes absolutely no difference to me if it needs a diesel-powered
network interface or new starch for the floppy drive. If the customer
wants it, who cares what it runs on?

You completely missed my point and shot yourself in the foot.
I think recompiling the kernel is an advantage, since it means that
every DLL dropped in the system folder isn't a potential source of a
crash or bug.
On the scale of Good Things and Bad Things that happen to people on
this planet, the choice of operating system is only slightly less
important than deciding if you want a burger or hot dog for lunch.

Actually I am having the same problem. I thought the "setuid" was done
by "chmod ugo+s pppd". But that didn't seem to change anything. The
reason I want to do this is because I don't want to have to keep doing
"su root" everytime I run the connect (or disconnect) script. Plus I
want to put up a menu item for it...anyway the error I get is because I
am using the -name option to pppd, and it says that is an option only
available to root. How can I get around this?

I'm looking for advice on an internal ISDN TA that supports TA type
commands. Specifically, I'm looking for a card that I install just as
easily as an analog modem, that doesn't require me to rebuild the kernel, or
rewrite my chat/pppd scripts (other than changing some AT initialization
strings), create or install different drivers, or even deal with the
isdn4linux utilities and drivers. Does such a thing exist?

Subject: multiple ethernet 3c509 cards
Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 20:46:25 GMT
I'm having difficulty installing a second 3c509 card.
Without the second card, I can boot just fine & ping my gateway, and
indeed resolve names & ping the world. When the second card is
seated, I can't ping beyond my own box. The boot message with both
cards seated indicates that both cards are at IRQ=10 and at 0x300, but
the first is 0x300 tag 1 and the second is 0x300 tag 2. Is this my
problem? I'm guessing that I can't have two cards at the same IRQ and
address, but I can't figure out how to change it.
I've tried
1. Editing /etc/lilo.conf where I added two lines at the end with
ether=0,0,eth0
ether=0,0,eth1
(One document I read said I shouldn't give it the address but the 0's
would force the probe to choose good addresses.)
Things got hosed completely. I couldn't ping my gateway. I looked up
a few mins later & got a message continuously displaying saying:
"eth0: Infinite loop in interrupt, status 2001." and even Ctrl-Alt-Del
wouldn't work.
2. Editing /etc/conf.modules where I added:
alias eth0 3c509
alias eth1 3c509
options 3c509=0x300,0x280
and the result was being hosed.
I've been pouring over the Ethernet HOWTO and the NET-3 HOWTO and
Donald Becker's Multiple Ethernet mini HOWTO, etc. but I can't figure
out the next step.
Any ideas?

Try running ypwhich on the client to see if it is bound to the master
server, and try ypcat passwd to see if you can see your account.
The definitive test would probably be running ypmatch <your username>
passwd. If it returns nothing something is wrong with the setup.
If you do have a problem the place to go is
http://www.suse.de/~kukuk/index.html, and follow the link to the NIS

The customer does not ask for a specific os.
Generally you have to build the solution, not to sell os.
When you have to repair your tv-set, normally, you want the job

With that much traffic in such a short time, it's very possible you're
running up against buffering problems. I can't recall offhand how to
check for this under Linux [all the boxes I can reach at the moment are
*BSD], but what you want to look for is something that tells you how
many sk_buff structures are in use. `netsta -m` tells you this in
FreeBSD [well, actually it tells you about mbuf clusters, the *BSD
equivalent], but if I recall correctly Linux uses a different netstat.
If you are exhausting your memory buffers, be happy that the machine is
just slowing down... *BSD boxes have the annoying habit of rebooting
when they run out of mbufs [though, to be fair, the mbuf code is much
faster, so it's a tradeoff either way :)]. Adding more RAM or
reconfiguring your kernel to make more memory available for sk_buffs may
do the trick.

Exactly. It depends on what "some_function" is, and should be obvious
from the semantics of what "some_function" means to you. And if you
forget, then that super-fancy editor that add's /* */ pairs for him in a
keystroke probably lets him see the prototype and/or source for
some_function() in a keystroke as well.
As a counter-example to his:
struct {
// lots'o'stuff
} foo;
some_function(&foo);
What will be foo's value after the call to some_function? Will it be
altered? In C he has no way of knowing because C programmers often pass
structs by reference even when they don't intend to change them.
If he's worried about separating the in from the out paramters then
perhaps he will prefer Dylan, where you write things like...
let (x, y, z) = some_function(a, b)
.. and it's completely clear which are the input and which the output.

Oops -- meant to point out the link-time benefits of function name mangling.
But you're absolutely correct. Even when I'm programming essentially in
C, I can't see any point in not using the C++ compiler to do it. It's

255.255.255.255 is OK; It's the route to a single host.
