Yes, transparent proxy support is part Linux. I think it works by
forwarding the selected ports/protocols to other ports (on the same box I
suppose) where a proxy server is listening. Then the proxy server does its
thing.

I think you are confused. ppp is for installing a IP link over a phone
line. For ethernet, you just use the standard networking that comes with
all of those operating systems.
(Note that ppp for phone line support also comes with all those
distributions.)

Perhaps he's referring to ppp-over-tcp, aka tunneling? man ppp will do the
trick.

Subject: localhost does not load in apache
I am running RedHat 5.2 on a standalone machine.
When I enter http://localhost in the Netscape browser I get DNS errors.
It seems there is something wrong with my host name, as Linux halts for
about 60 secs during boot up when starting sendmail. The sendmail error
log indicates problems with the hostname.
The computer is set up as standard:
127.0.0.1 localhosts
I have also used the RedHat config tool to set it to localhost.
Any ideas?Do I need to set the domain to localdomain?
Thanks

You _did_ "make modules && make modules_install" after "make bzImage",
didn't you? Any chance that you added it directly into the kernel instead
of compiling it as a module (answered "Y" instead of "M")?

There were some questions recently (in the last couple of months) about
PPP-over-ethernet in the comp.dcom.lans.ethernet newsgroup. Judging from
the responses in that ng, there *is* something that does PPP-over-ethernet.
Heavens knows why.

Ping data is carried by ICMP packets (not TCP or UDP packets). So you must
specifically allow ICMP packets to pass through the firewall. I can't
remember the syntax for sure but I think it's something like:
ipchains -A forward -p icmp -j MASQ
Try 'man ipchains'. I think that's where I saw it.
Also, a word of warning:
You should have all your services commented out in inetd.conf. Odds are you
don't need any of them. And personnaly I have the following firewall rule
(among others).
ipchains -A input -i ppp* -s0/0 -j DENY
This drops all packets comming from the internet unless they were
masqueraded. Masqueraded packets will bypass this rule and not be affected.
Good luck and don't fear the Penguin.

Is it case sensitive? And do you have all the other proxy info
entered?
And, once you get it going, go get a more recent version of netscape as
the first order of business. Its up to 4.61 now.

Ok, so I should infer from this that Boeing 747 pilots should
use every cockpit "button" on every flight just because the
buttons are there? Granted, ok, maybe a Boing 747 cockpit
can be similified in some way, but what would you say about
such a pilot who did what I just inferred? Now, what
do you want to say about the developers?

You are really going out on a limb here. "Programming"
is about concepts, techniques, understanding problems, etc.
Although I agree the different perspective of each respective
should not be discarded, you seem to be saying that changing
the language is going to make a genious out of an idiot,
and that's nuts.
Ok, maybe I'm missing your point. Why would Python make the
architecture and algorithms right'er?

When you shutdown x without correctly closing Netscape,

As another respondent has asked, what telnetd software are you running
