Subject: 3c509 not found
Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1999 09:23:59 -0500
Playing with Slackware 2.0.35. I cannot get the kernel to pick up my 3COM
3c509 (Etherlink III - UTP only) ISA network card. I am trying to connect 2
slackware boxes together to set up a "test" network for development.
I am using a crossover 10BaseT cable to connect the machines. The pins have
been verified using a pin tester as correctly crossed. Note: I have tried
this all with the cable connected, and without.
The system is a Pentium 166 using a Tyan Tiger III MB. Award BIOS revision
4.51 (1997).
I have IRQ 10 set up as non-pnp (ISA Legacy) in the system bios.
The machine is a dual boot machine running Windows95 and (now) Slackware
2.0.35.
Note: The card works fine in Windows, and all hardware diagnostics pass in
the DOS utilities, so the hardware should be ok.
I used the 3COM supplied driver disk utility (3c5x9cfg.exe) in DOS to
disable pnp detection on the card, and to set the IRQ to 10, and the IO to
0x300. (I have also tried IRQ 5 and io 0x320).
I have recompiled the 2.0.35 kernel to include loadable module support,
tcp/ip networking support, 3COM Cards (both statically), and the 3c509.o
driver as a module (quite a few times actually). The process I am using is
as follows:
'cd /usr/src/linux' ('linux' being a symbolic link to /linux-2.0.35)
'make menuconfig' (choose the options I want)
'make dep; make clean; make zlilo'
'make modules; make modules_install'
reboot
Note: occasionally I'll mix it up by replacing 'make zlilo' with 'make
zImage' followed by copying usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage to /vmlinuz
(the boot file indicated in lilo.conf) and running lilo to reset. Then
rebooting. (I'm still new to the linux game and not entirely sure if one
way is better than the other, though the zlilo method certainly seems less
bothersome).
I don't think any of the network information matters at this point, but the
network addresses are set in /etc/networks, /etc/hosts, and
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 (IP = 195.1.1.1, Mask = 255.255.255.0, Network =
195.1.1.0, Broadcast = 195.1.1.255, no gateway at this point). The HOSTNAME
and other information is where it should be (compliments of netconfig).
I have included 'alias eth0 3c509' and 'options 3c509 irq=10' the
conf.modules, and have the 3c509 card uncommented in the rc.modules file.
Note: I have also tried rebooting without these lines, and after adding
'io=0x300' (which generates a different error), and with only the alias
line. Same result each time.
I have the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 card line reading:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} network ${NETWORK}
I have tried adding 'broadcast ${BROADCAST}' as well, with no change in the
situation.
The startup message indicates the "device or resource is busy", followed by
the SIO gibberish, and "eth0 not recognized" (which makes sense given the
card did not work right).
'modprobe eth0' generates the same error. It indicates it's pulling the
3c509.o information, but that the "device or resource is busy".
'dmesg |more' stops logging before the card errors, and as such is pretty
useless.
'cat /proc/ioports' shows the io range needed as wide open (no conflicts).
'cat /proc/interrupts' shows IRQ 10 is not being used by any other device.
What am I missing here?

Subject: Adding MIBs to SNMP on RH6
Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1999 11:40:33 -0400
We upgraded a server from RH 5.1 to 6.0 . Several utilities
used SNMP there so I had to move the MIB definitions we
added from /usr/lib/mib.txt to /usr/share/snmp/mibs/RFCxxxx-MIB.txt
(xxxx = RFC number, 1696, etc.). Unfortunately, it is not recognizing
the new definitions and 'snmpwalk' reports things like
sub-identifier not found: mdmMib
Invalid object identifier:
mdmMib.mdmMIBObjects.mdmLineTable.mdmLineEntry.
mdmLineState
Is there a command to update SNMP mibs on the newer SNMP on
RedHat 6.0 ?
Thanks,

Radius needs a subdirectory named after your terminal server.
If your terminal server is box.domain.com, create a subdir for it:
cd /var/adm/radacct/box.domain.com
then restart radiusd:
/etc/radiusd -a /var/adm/radacct
Now, the first incoming authentication will create a file:
/var/adm/radacct/box.domain.com/detail
and this keeps building up as your radius gets to work.

as one other said 'sudo' is good at this stuff. but in general you just
want to add these users to the adm group in the /etc/group file. then
make sure that all the stuff you want them to be able to access has r/w/?
permissions for the adm group. and take the adm group perms off all
stuff you don't want them to access such as '/sbin/shutdown' and that
runlevel thingy (I forget what it's called)

I confess. We use 172.16.xx.yy/26 with possible interconnecting many of
these small networks in the future. Why this was chosen rather than in
10.xxx or 192.xx I don't know, though. Maby the other networks we

Subject: Newbie question
Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1999 18:27:02 +0200
I'm relatively new to the networking world so I've read some White Papers
and FAQ's on the Internet.
Now I do understand the advantages (switching) routers have when compared to
Layer 2 switches in the area's security, load balancing, WAN interfaces,
broadcast containment etc.
But when only routing is concerned, I just don't get the benefit of using a
router (or Layer 3 switch) instead of a Layer 2 switch.
Quote from some White Paper:
....Because of their dependence upon MAC addresses, LAN switches are
restricted to forwarding of traffic at Layer 2. Any traffic destined for a
different subnet *must* be forwarded to a router, which uses Layer 3
information (e.g., IP addressing) to determine the next hop through the
network....
and:
....This ability to cache Layer 3 address tables is the key differentiator
between router accelerators and Layer 2 switching products. Layer 2 switches
must send all inter-subnet traffic to a router for path resolution, whereas
router accelerators can intelligently forward traffic based on Layer 3
information if the address is already contained within its cached address
tables....
But why ? Besides src/dest IP-addresses, the packets also contains src/dest.
MAC-addresses so by using it's MAC address forwarding table the Layer-2
switch can do the same ?
Suppose several endstations as well as several other Layer-2 switches are
connected to a Layer-2 switch. Then the Layer-2 switch is able to "route"
inter-subnet traffic to the port to which one of the other Layer 2 switches
is connected to which the target endstation is connected ?????
Please help me out on this one. Thanks in advance.

That sounds like the philosophy of a prostitute, not an IT professional.
The reason clients hire you for this kind of work is precisely because
they don't know how to put together a solution. If they did, they
wouldn't need you. A trained monkey can write them a receipt and deliver
a big truckload of equipment, but the job of a professional is to THINK
and use JUDGMENT to craft the best solution for the client.
Clients depend on your judgment about what they need, because in many
instances they're either uninformed or misinformed. Only an idiot or a
shyster would sell a client something just because they ask for it. You
can continue to sell your clients whatever they ask for if you want, but
I'm going to sell mine what they really need because that's what they
trust me to do.

The probable cause of this is that subscribing to a newsgroup does not
necessarily generate any requests to the news server. The subscription
information is all local to the newsreader. The only thing leafnode tracks
is requests for articles from a newsgroup, and requests for articles may or
may not be prompted by subscribing to the newsgroup.
Have you actually tried to *read* any of the newsgroups after subscribing
to them? If you try to read the newsgroup, and you see the placeholder
message, then leafnode should have created an entry in interesting.groups
for that newsgroup.
Outlook Express is kind of annoying in this was as well. If I want to check
on a very low volume newsgroup I sometimes need to reset the local index
files and reread the entire group from scratch to see the new postings.

Why are you setting up Linux to use a chat script? That's hard and
completely unnecessary. I keep reading about guys who spend weeks
fiddling with setup programs and chat scripts and whatnot and I've setup
people manually faster than that by telling them vi keystrokes over the
phone.
LOOK, IT'S NOT THAT HARD, PEOPLE!

You know, I setup pon on the master Debian system at work the other day.
It's an older system and it doesn't have all those fancy setup "wizards".
It took about an hour to configure pon/poff, ip-up, and the smail
configuration. Most of that time was spent trying to figure out how to
get smail to deliver the mail in the foreground because I just wanted the
link to be up long enough to move mail to the Internet. (It turns out
that the documentation for that is wrong. C'est la vie.)
If you would like help learning how it works, send me email. Otherwise,
stop bitching because you can't be bothered to read the directions.

Hi,
We developed an SDK package that runs in NT and controls RRAS
connections in our offices�s networks . But after all, we still have
some annoying problems� you now, even, in some situations we have to
reset any machine because the RRAS service fails to use a demand-dial
connection, (and don't reconnect with it in any way) ..... UGH!!!##�
So, we want to know how difficult would be work with Linux.
What do we need?
Connect our offices�s networks in a ring,
In case a telephone line fails use one or two backup lines to connect
to the loosed node or to the next node in the ring.
When a main line is UP again, disconnect the backup lines
automatically.
We need some intelligent decisions: priorities, reduce double active
backup lines to only one between two nodes, etc, etc.
Are there any software, packages or information in Linux that helps us
to accomplish this?
We are not afraid to program if it�s necessary, but any ideas would be
helpful.

Hi,
Have you edit /etc/leafnode/config and check that 'server = ...' point to your ISP
news server ?
Have your run under root or news fetch after subscribing to some newsgroups? Also, you
must run fetch daily, or weekly in a crontab or manualy to get new messages from
newsgroups(fetch must be run
under root or news account).
Have you mark as read in Netscape or in you news reader the first message from
Leafnode ?
Have you define 'export NNTPSERVER=localhost' in your /etc/profile or ~/.profile ?
I'm currently running leafnode 1.9.2 and it works just fine.
Manu.

You should be able to get it via a number of online stores. A search
for WebGear will turn up a number of vendors. However, I don't know
whether it will work under linux. I have asked WebGear about linux
support. They are planning for July support for the *parallel-port*
version, not the Aviator2.4, which is the pcmcia (and therefore faster
and more interesting) version. They have no current plans for linux
for the 2.4, although they said that they had forwarded my email to an
engineering VP. I have also asked for technical details, but have not
heard anything yet.
The next best option at the moment seems to be Proxim's Symphony. It
is more expensive, but linux drivers (even if based on no-source
binaries do exist).
