i don't understand. SuSE installs the Apsfilter package by default so
if you wanted to print postscript, you'd do 'lpr -Plp, plain ascii
with 'lpr -Praw' and pretty-printed ascii as 'lpr-Pascii'. You can
set the default printer with $PRINTER.

Subject: salvage utility for linux?
Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 20:17:58 GMT
We are in the process of migrating from Netware to Linux using the
Samba Server.
The only feature that seems to be missing with Samba is the SALVAGE
feature in Netware. This is the only major reason why we are thinking
twice about moving to Linux.
If we delete files from Windows Client Explorer or File Manager, is it
possible to write a script to move them to a /DELETED files folder
instead of doing a delete? However, I presume this script needs to be
invoked by the samba daemon.
To prevent the /DELETED folder from getting full up, there could be a
daily cron script to remove files older the x number of days, where x
can be set to the organizations requirement.
Any ideas which newsgroup this query should be posted to, so that linux
and samba gurus/experts implement this feature/facility/utility soon?
Any suggestions or work arounds in accomplishing this?

You guys should check out the IP-MASQ-HOWTO. The Linux box in this case
would not only do your routing, but it must also do Network Address
Translation (or IP masquerade.) This is due to the fact that you only have
one legitimate IP address. So, all of your internet access will need to be
translated to that legitimate IP.
Check out the HOWTO... it is very helpful.

Subject: Hanging samba with win98
Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 18:18:32 GMT
Here's a large problem, it has been going on our department for about a
year. We have used RedHat 5.1-6.0, different versions of samba, win95,
win98, all with the same results. I have tried static mounts, and
autofs.
Currently:
RedHat6.0 w/ samba-2.0.3, mounting win95 and win98 machines. There is a
process that writes to a file on each of the windows machines. It is an
ASCII file, the new data is appended to the file every 15 minutes.
Every 15 minutes, we want this data to be copied over to our linux box.
It is a simple copy command from linux. It is not an exact 15 minutes,
so we can't try to time it. Every so often, a week, a month, whatever,
the windows machine crashes, and has to be manually rebooted.
We want to avoid pushing the data from the windows machines. Is this
crash because when writing to the file, linux tries to open it for read,
or when linux is reading the file, windows tries to write, I don't
know. And if this wasn't enough, the write process is being done in a
MS-DOS window. It is hard to diagnos because when the windows machine
hangs, the system clock gets all screwy.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you really *had* to reboot to get ppp working, it is probably an
interrupt conflict. However, since you are a self-proclaimed newbie, you
may have rebooted without really needing to. Under Windows rebooting is the
cure for all ills, but Linux doesn't need to be rebooted for every little
thing -- it's stable once you get it going. For instance, you can change
your IP address in a matter of seconds, without rebooting. Try that with
Windoze.
The other possibility is that you did not specifiy the defaultroute option
for the ppp connection. You should always specify this unless you have some
alternate route to the internet over your LAN. And remember you should not
have two default routes. You can only have one.
Some commands you can use to check things out at the command line:
ifconfig
route -n
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/dma
cat /proc/ioports
dmesg | less

PMFJI, but our company provided our site with a $10K Cisco PIX
firewall, in addition to the 2500 Cisco router we already use. As I'm
new to firewalls, I was wondering...
1. Docs always present a DMZ in their diagrams : Is there a drawback
with having ALL hosts, both servers and clients, be located behind the
firewall, which would be connected directly to the router?
Do we need to keep some servers in the DMZ because some applications
can not work through a firewall (I know about FTP, but you can set it
in passive mode) ?
2. For a small location, is it better to buy router + firewall from HW
mgfs like Cisco, or just install a Linux/FreeBSD box that would act as
router + firewall?
3. The LLs we have connect to the Cisco router with X11 or V24 plugs
(I don't remember exactly). How would you connect a leased line with
such a plug onto a PC?
Thanks for any info,
FF.

You can do all of this off your single Linux box, but when you register your
domain with the Internic, you have to supply 2 DNS servers, a primary and
secondary. You can run the primary off your machine, but you will have to
get someone else to host the secondary DNS.

Subject: PPP Server problems
Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 21:12:53 GMT
After 5 hours of trying and 3 hours of web searching I�ve come to
the conclusion that a message here is probably my best bet.
Setup:
RedHat Linux Server (2.0.36)
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 1
Laptop Client (eth & modem)
Here where I�m stuck and what already works:
1. Dial-In OK
2. PPP Connection OK
3. Ping server using IP address OK
4. Ping server using name BROKEN
5. Ping anything else BROKEN
I�m trying to set this up so that my laptop always
has the same IP address.
NetMask: 255.255.255.0
Server : 192.168.0.1
Client : 192.168.0.2
tcpdump seems to be showing packets coming from other
systems to eth0 on the server with the package target
being the cleint, but the don�t seem to be going back
down the ppp0 pipe.
I remove my ethernet pcmcia card before initiating the
dialin connection, and netstat -r just shows the lo device.
These are the server files that I think are relevant to the problem:
/etc/ppp/options:
asyncmap 0
netmask 255.255.255.0
proxyarp
lock
crtscts
modem
/etc/ppp/options.ttyS1
lock
:192.168.0.2
defaultroute
proxyarp
crtscts
modem
Its really frustrating being "almost" there, but not quite
having it right.
Can some kind soul please help me out on this before I go
bananas.
Bill.

Well, in fact the modem does NOT compress anything. I'm using a 3Com
ImpactIQ ISDN modem, and regardless of options specified in the modem init,
I get nada (i.e. I've NEVER gotten throughput in excess of the stock ISDN
speed, even when the serial port is communicating with the modem at 230k -
it never gets above the standard 128k). Probably a hardware incompatibility
with Bell Atlantic's POP.
In any case, this is all moot, because I'm talking about compression over a
virtual ppp<->ppp link which I've created to facilitate a VPN solution to my
corporate LAN. Our corporate internet link is frequently saturated, so I'm
trying to maximize the bang for the byte I can get out of that pipe by
compressing the data stream prior to encryption.

Jesus Christ, that's disgusting.
BTW, you might like to know that American incompetance helped lead to
the British losing very badly (Over 300 miles lost in around 14 days).
The Americans had signed a deal with the British to share intelligence
before they got involved. In an American base in Egypt, they had an
Italian (Clue Alert!) employee working for them. Every night, that
employee would retrieve that day's reports from the safe and transmit
them to the Germans.
The phrase "How stupid can you get" springs to mind.

It *is* possible. You're right, you'll have to use an off-the-wall port
for it, but it's possible to forward requests to Box A on the weird port
to Box B. There are problems when using FTP, though, since FTP tends to
open up other ports. If you aren't trying to serve FTP on Box B, then
you should be okay.

a no DHCPOFFER error. I tried running
dhcpcd -d -h logon-server.hawaii.rr.com eth1

dhcpcd -v tells me I am running v 1.03 since upgrading with the rrdhcpd
I tried a tcpdump on eth1, but it only tells me "network is down".
all lights are on in modem and dhcp works fine in nt box.

I have a RH 5.2 (soon to be Mandrake 6.0) box and about 15 Win98 clients
that use it for Internet, Samba, etc. They all log into it using their
Linux username and passwd. What I would like is an easy way to have them
change their passwd from their own machine without having to log into Linux
thru telnet. They afraid of the command line and don't know what to do once
that $ is staring at them. Anyway, is there a utility or a script I could
run from a webpage that would allow them to use something other than
'telnet' and 'passwd' to change their passwd. Thanks.
