Well, I found the answer to the problem. It was in my bios. My
Bios was set for a plug-n-play aware Operating System which Linux
really isn't 100% PNP. I can now use the ISA modem without a problem
in Linux and I can connect to my ISP too.
Thanks,

Subject: samba with dhcp and two subnets?
Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 17:01:48 -0400
Hi-
I am having severe problems with samba and getting it to work
correctly.
I am in a large network environment with several subnets all the way out
to class A. I have two machines in my office one is on one subnet
beginning with 10 and the other is on another subnet begining with 146.
We are forced to use dhcp.
oh the 146 box is win 95 and the other is linux (red hat 6, 2.2.10)
so when I do:
smbclient -L tk421 (which is the linux box) I get :
Added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0
Password:
Domain=[SSPG] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.3]

sometimes I get a list of the other machines in the net but sometimes I
don't. I can't figure it out.
now I can see my windows machine (tk422) and my friend's down the hall
but if I do:
[erict@tk421 /etc]$ nmblookup -B tk421 __SAMBA__
Sending queries to 0.0.0.0
10.70.98.5 __SAMBA__<00>
[erict@tk421 /etc]$ nmblookup -B tk422 '*'
Sending queries to 0.0.0.0
10.70.98.5 *<00>
they both give the IP of the linux machine even though tk422 is the
windows machine on a totally different subnet...
I think my hosts file is messed up. but I can't really use it anyway
since we use dhcp...
then my friends machine:
[erict@tk421 /etc]$ nmblookup -B eduen '*'
Sending queries to 10.70.96.196
name_query failed to find name *
I am tired and confused, and it is friday. can anyone point me to a
setup using dhcp and two subnets in a network environment that I don't
control. ie. I don't want to be domain master...
nmblookup -d 2 '*'
gives me only a response from my own machine but If I set the netmask to
0.0.0.0 then I get a whole bunch but still only in my 10.x.x.x subnet
(is that even a subnet? I guess it's a full blown net)
I have exhausted all
FAQs and setup pages... thanks-
eric

Gordon,
thank you for replying. I'm afraid mounting the CD-ROM to others boxes is
not an option. But here are a few details I left out in my previous message:
Exports file seems to be set up correctly and so does daemon mountd. Deamon
nfsd seems to have some problems though. I seemed to have read somewhere
that when executing rpcinfo -p I should see
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100005 1 tcp 744 mountd
100005 2 udp 744 mountd
100005 1 tcp 747 nfsd
100005 2 udp 747 nfsd
But when I do, I seem to be missing
100005 2 udp 747 nfsd
Syslog looks fine except for:
mountd[63]: exports file has anon entries, but
host
mountd[63]: has non-private IP address
200.200.200.1!
nfsd[68]: Could not bind name to socket
0.0.0.0:2049: A$
nfsd[68]: could not make a udp socket
nfsd[65]: Unauthorized access by NFS client
200.200.200.9
NOTE: 200.200.200.9 is the IP address of server 2, ie. the one I'm trying
to install Linux on.
Hope you can help... I running out of options here ;-)#

I had the exact same problem on Caldera 2.2. The problem is the following:
1. Your nfsd isn't compiled with NIS support. Get the sources, run the BUILD
script, answer yes when it asks for NIS support. Install.
2. You need to make sure that your root and nobody accounts are in NIS. If
they are in the local password file but not NIS, it won't work.
The above will fix your problem.

Subject: Ricochet MODEM in Linxu / Strange TCP-IP problems...
Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 17:34:54 -0700
I recently setup a Ricochet MODEM under RH 6 Linux. Initially, all
seemed well. I had previously installed an ethernet and ppp phone-line
link so I was sure that everything was set and ready to go. Also, the
MODEM worked out of the box in windows.
Ricochet modems act like normal modems so setting it up was no different
from a regular ppp connection.
When all was said and done, ping worked, the communication between the
name server worked so I figured all was well. Even traceroute worked.
But my first attempt to actually start a telnet session failed. I
"tcpdumped" the packets to see what was going on and it seemed as if the
initial synching phase was conducted with no problems but after that the
computers do not seem to be able to communicate.
Here's ifconfig on my system:
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:XXX.XXX.XXX.130 P-t-P:XXX.XXX.XXX.131
Mask:255.255.255.255

RX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

Here's a "netstat -nr"

0 eth0
You'll note that the ethernet connection works fine. I've also disabled
the ethernet connection in order to test out the ppp connection alone
but it still does not work.
I'm attaching a verbose snooped session from the host
"workinghost.edu". I tried to "telnet workinghost.edu 7" (the echo
port).
Here is the tcpdump on linux:

You don't necessarily need to use forwarders at all. But should you
wish to, you might set these in your named.conf file to point to the
DNS servers run by your ISP. In this way, you can take advantage of
the cache on the ISP's DNS servers and possibly get quicker response
since there should be very few hops between you and the ISP's DNS
servers.

Subject: Smbmount Broken?
Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 20:36:23 -0600
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi All,
I am posting this message in desperation. I have recently loaded
Slackware 4.0, and Redhat 6.0 on separate machines. I also have
Slackware 3.5 on another machine. The last version of smbmount that I
could get to work is 2.0.2, and I have not been successful with later
versions.
I need to mount a NT share to my Linux box(s). The NT share is
//Ogden-prcl-nts2/eed. My login name is TRACY_J my password is ****, my
workgroup is EED_WORKGROUP, my netbios (machine) name is OGD_JOHNST, the
NT address is 10.3.1.22. I can mount this share using smbmount 2.0.2,
running on Slackware kernel ver 2.0.34. I can not mount this same share
under Red Hat 6.0 (smbmount 2.0.3) or Slackware 4.0 (smbmount 2.0.3) or
Slackware 3.5 (smbmount 2.0.3).
I have checked the man pages, and used the syntax listed, and read
the applicable HOWTO's. I have searched deja-news for any sign of an
answer, but have found none. The mount point DOES exist on the target
machine.
I made sure that /etc/smb.conf was set up, and I have run testparm
successfully. I have tried it with the dns (using the dns address)
enabled, and without.
I went through a lot of trials, but here is the command that I think
that I used with ver. 2.0.3:
smbmount //OGDEN-PRCL-NTS2/EED -c 'mount /eed' -U TRACY_J -n OGD_JOHNST
-I 10.3.1.22 -d 5
Here is what smbmount says: - some irrelevant sections cut out for

I get a prompt for a password, but each time the attempt to mount
the share fails. I have tried upper case (yes, I'm sure that it is the

name, caps for the first letter (like W95 browse listing), to no avail.
I have added a lmhosts file with the NT address - didn't help.
Is there someone, who can tell me what I am doing wrong? - I am
stumped! - This can't be that hard, can it?

Unfortunately as with so many of those scripts, it assumes certain
things about how the remote side authenticates. If your isp happens to
use that technique the script will work fine. If not, it will not work.
And every single ISP seems to delight in finding new ways to
authenticate.
Too see the problems, look at
axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html
for a step by step procedure for finding out how your ISP authenticates
and then giving them what they need.
Note also that the official serial ports are /dev/ttyS0 to /dev/ttyS3
nnot cua0 to cua3. The latter will fail with the newer kernels.
The script also replaces your hosts file, which could be nasty if you
happen to have a lan, or have defined a bunch of hosts names for
yourself.
Moreover it replaces the hosts file evey time it dials in.
In ppp-down it does the same thing as all of the other down scripts do,
and that is try to read /var/run/ppp0.pid. Unfortunately that file is
readable only by root. Not very useful unless you are root. FAr more
useful is
killall pppd

Can someone please tell me how to mount Samba shares in /etc/fstab? Or fix
the following problem?
I have a script file which mounts some Windows 98 partitions with smbmount.
If I put this file in my /etc/rc.d/boot.local, or even if I put the whole
thing manually with full paths in there, it doesn't work. The thing scrolls
off way too fast for me to read properly (can someone tell me how to pause?
:). It says something about service not being available[?] This happens
whether my Windows box has finished booting up or not. As soon as I log on
and run the script, the partitions mount fine.
Will the problem persist if I mount the partitions in fstab?

Subject: NFS client mount fails on RH 6.0 - Newbie Q
Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 23:08:26 -0400
I'm having no success mounting anything NFS from a client on RedHat 6.0.
The only thing that happens is I hear the hard drive (or CDROM, depending
on what I'm trying to mount) access on the server, then the client
returns the error message "permission denied." I tried to do a NFS
install onto one machine and had the same thing happen. The CDROM on
the server spun up, but then the install program informed me that the
server had denied permission.
I'm VERY new, just started learning it last week. I've picked up a few
Linux books and RedHat Linux 6.0. I've got a couple of Linux machines and
a few Win 95/98 machines on a small net.
What I have working:
-TCP/IP set up well enough that I've got Samba working ok on the Linux
machines.
-hosts files set up so that I can ping all machines by name.
-users are set up the same on all machines
-exports file set up per a couple of the books I've got. I use exportfs -
a after changing the exports file. I've tried a few different syntaxes in
the exports file, including:
/tmp/test bandit(rw)
and
/tmp/test 192.168.1.0/24(rw)
(I'm using 192.168.1.0-255 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0)
As far as I can tell the required deamons are running on the server. I
can stop and start the service from the command line successfully.
Is there anything obvious I could be doing wrong? I've got maybe 5 books
here, and can't see anything in them.
Thanks,
Pat Cassidy
