Subject: Remote login problems in custom RedHat env...
Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 10:55:25 -0400
Hello all,
I have an unusual problem with telnet, rlogin, ftp and any other
program which requires logging in remotely. The system specs are: 400Mhz
Pentium Pro, 256MB RAM, onboard Intel etherexpress pro 10/100Mbs network
card, 2 serial ports, running a custom Red Hat 5.2 kernel. Four kernel
header files were modified to allow for a 3072 process limit ( fs.h,
limits.h, posix_types.h, /usr/include/gnu/types.h ). The machine will
boot and run fine for about 10 minutes then any form of remote log in
(even rcp and rsh) will hang after it successfully connects to the
system just before it gives you the opportunity to provide your login
name and/or password. On telnet you can even see the "Connected to
<host>" message. Any connection made before this problem occurs is fine
and has full capabilities. I can get out of the box using any method I
choose (telnet, ftp, etc). The oddest thing about this problem is that
all other inetd services are unaffected. They continue to respond to
request on their respective ports without fail. A tcpdump on the machine
will show telnet, rlogin, etc ... activity. They send their initial acks
and replies but don't complete their initialization procedures. For
example. telnet will never send it's usual 'I AM CAPABLE OF' information
(i.e. "DO AUTHENTICATION" "WILL ENCRYPT"). Luckily, we have a console
routed through the serial port which is uneffected by this situation. At
present, rebooting the machine is the only way clear up the situation.
Bringing the ethernet card down and up, sending HUP signals to inetd,
and logging out established remote connections don't have any effect.
Has any run across anthing like this ? Is there a fix (please no upgrade
to 6.0 responses. This is not an option.) ? Thanks.

Hi !
What is the timer precision in Linux ? I need 1 ms, but gettimeotday
returns tm_usec = xx00xx, why are there two 0 in the middle ???
If i use tm_usec/1000 i have the ms value, but always in 10 steps ...
Someone told me something with 100Hz and 1000Ht timer in kernel, can i
recompile the kernel so that it is more precise ?
Please mail a copy of the answer to my email address, so i can read it

192.168.42.0 is normally a network adress and not a ip adres for a host.
don't use that one, start with 192.168.42.1

If you use ipfwadm than you may specify the following protocols:
* ICMP
* TCP
* UDP
* all protocols
Which means that if you want to allow protocol 47 you must allow
all protocols (you can make it all other than icmp, udp, tcp)

Not necessarily true. If you write a good optimizing C++ to C
translator you could include a code analyzer that may be smart enough to
put a direct call to the "pointed to" function rather than having to
call it through a pointer. It may also be able to inline the body of
the virtual function in some cases. Good native code C++ compilers
already do this -- C++ to C translators can too. Then the generated C
code can be compiled with an optimizing compiler for perhaps more
improvement.

Does the program just hang 'n die or does it eventually timeout with
an "unable to locate blah blah..." message? If it's the message you
may not have a web server (such as Apache) running on your system, it
may be improperly configured or your local machine may have another name
(try http://127.0.0.1 instead).
Hope this helps a bit...

If you are using PAP, you don't need a chat script and you NEVER need DHCP
with PPP. (PPP has its own mechanism for assigning and distributing IP
addresses.) Can you turn your debugging up so that we can see what the
traffic is on your link?

Look for something called "ncpmount" which will allow you to mount Netware

You have a PPP account. Those "heiroglyphics" are PPP packets. You need
to set up pppd to use your connection.

"Right" and "Wrong" are generally not very good words to use when describing
network protocols - particularly successful ones such as DECnet and IP. The
decision to assign addresses to interfaces rather than hosts was presumably
made consciously by some very smart people. It may be different from what
you expect, and it may make some operations tricky, but it does allow for
some innovative solutions and uses - for instance, a multihomed system can
run several servers at once, and appear to be (for instance) several FTP
sites, although it really is only one machine. There may be ways to achieve
this under DECnet, but again, there are almost certainly more "hoops" in
store for such a set of applications.
Similarly, SNA folks can't understand how "brain-damaged" IP is in not
having a heartbeat that can instantly detect loss of connectivity. IP folks
are quite happy that their modem line can drop and re-establish without
significantly affecting their connection [other than a few seconds delay].

Costs _and_ benefits. If DECnet were truly right, and IP truly wrong, then
we'd all be pushing DECnet.

Then I open Netscape, and type a url - it dials (great!). Then I am

Playing with the nfsv3 patches for 2.2.9, I found that 32k writes resulted
in the first write sending N fragments followed by the first part of the
packet, but all subsequent writes were only managing to send the fragments,
not the first parts (if you see what I mean).
Taking it down to wsize=16384 fixed the problem.
This was with 100Mbs <-> 100Mbs between a linux client and a
Sol2.5.1/102599-02 server.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the freedom to investigate further, as the
traffic melted our network down.
Now, I'm trying to find out why every linux version I can get my hands on
(2.0.36 to 2.2.10-nfsv3-0.9.10) has a bizarre attribute caching bug:
mkdir test
touch test/foo
rsh linux1 rm -f test/foo
rsh linux2 rmdir test
mkdir test
touch test/foo
rsh linux1 rm -f test/foo
[ the last command fails due to a Stale NFS file handle ]

I'm definitely not laughing.... I bet I've seen more of those kinds

IMO, this is the canonical example to use when teaching C programmers
moving to C++. There is a great example Robert Murray uses when he
teaches C++ that blows your socks off, especially since it's a real example.
He composes a UNIX file path name in C from its respective parts.

Subject: NE2000 clone: Hw. address read/write mismap 0
Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 15:35:06 +0100
I have a Genius GE2000III Series ISA ethernet card.
It refuses to work under linux.
It is PnP compatible, but is in soft-jumpered mode. The NE*000 driver
(modular) correctly detects it on boot, with the correct address and IRQ
(0x300, IRQ10 - They work in Win98) but immediately afterwards, I start
getting messages like this:
Hw. address read/write mismap 0
eth0: trigger_send() called with the transmitter busy.
These messages pop up on the console every few seconds.
The following line also appears afterwards in the dmesg log, but not on the
screen (t changes):
eth0: Tx timed out, cable problem? TSR=0x3, ISR=0x0, t=715.
I know that there is nothing wrong with the cable (or the card) as they work
in Windows.
Ifconfig reports that it is recieving packets, but that all transmission
failed. Again, this indicates that it is not a cable fault as the cable is
10Base2 - transmit and recieve use the same wire.
/proc/ioports and /proc/intrerrupts report that the NE2000 is using the
correct resources. My PnP sound card works and is using different resouces.
I don't think I have any other hardware that might conflict.
My kernel is version 2.2.9.
Can anyone help?
Please reply by email

My Token Ring interface is called tr0. I also have an ethernet card, but
that is not utilized.
Here is what I do to get things initialized.
ipx_configure --auto_primary=off
ipx_configure --auto_interface=off
ipx_interface delall
ipx_interface add tr0 802.2TR 0x00000250 -p
I am just a newbie, so I have no idea how or why this works :)

hi,
I have set up 2 RH6.0 machine connected with a crossover cable with
IP masquerading and chaining. Web access and telnet work just fine. But
after I entered the other machine using ftp. It just stoped responding.
Sometimes even "dir" command would take forever. I checked /etc/services
and /etc/tcpd.conf, ftp is indeed enabled. I am wondering what is wrong.
Thanks,
David

Is there a Download Manager for Linux like "GoZilla" or "Getright"
which can auto-resume (or even manually resume) broken downloads.
This seems to be the only thing windoze does better than linux.
I have had several large downloads frustrated by the connection dropping
before completion.

Do they cover the US Army deliberately starving German POWs
