Always had an itch to see how good you really were at this networking stuff?
Well, here's your chance to finally test your mettle. This problem has
stumped everyone I know and they have all been forced to relinquish their
crowns. So, it's up for grabs... anyone who helps me solve this problem,
wins all bragging rights AND the vaunted no-prize! So what is this problem?
Briefly, I just installed Redhat 6.0/WinNT dualboot and I have IP aliasing
enabled according to the scheme below (primary interface has a real IP;
first alias has a real IP; 2nd alias has a fake IP). So the problem is that
the IP aliasing seems to timeout after a while under RedHat. I'm using a
Linksys Etherfast (with the latest tulip driver) and the aliases work fine
under Windoze NT. However, after about 40 minutes, none of the aliases are
pingable under redhat. The primary interface stays functional throughout
but the aliases all seem to timeout. A reboot or poweroff doesn't change
this. The only thing that seems to help is to remove all the aliases AND
the primary interface and then reenter the primary and aliases again. It
then works again for about 40 minutes, after which time the aliases time out
once again (but the primary interface continues to work). I've tried using
both ifconfig and the netcfg from the control-panel to no avail.
So there you have it... if you can help solve this not only will you have my
eternal undying gratitude; not only will you be able to wear the Linux Guru
Crown with pride; but you'll also be the winner of the one and only no-prize
(offer valid in the contiguous united states; we are an equal opportunity
empire; local sales tax may apply).
Thanks in advance!
Rick.

they have to be ignorants. types are one of the most important
software engineering aspects (and this is not my private opinion).
would you drive a car where you don't know whether the brakes work, or
exist at all? no. but you would run a program where you don't know
that the types are compatible, yes?
static (or compile time) typing has two key advantaged:
a) type checking at compile time (and checking should be done as early
as possible. of course design time would be better...)
b) speed. knowing the type means optimisation is possible, maybe even
the dispatch is possible to infer.
if you don't like this, you can use interfaces and RTTI, which gives
you all the flexibility there is, while still doing some type checks
at compile time.

Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 08:42:49 +0200
what you need is rinetd ( internet redirection service ).
get a binary somewhere and install it
then place in the /etc/rinetd.conf file the following rule :
bindaddress bindport connectaddress connectport
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 80 192.168.0.3 80
^
firewall address
then just restart rinetd by hupping it or by rebooting
this will redirect all trafic that comes on port 80 of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to
port 80 on 192.168.0.3
note : this can also be used to redirect ports on the same computer , just
use for bindaddress and connectaddress the same IP
i hope my explanation has helped you a bit with your problem

I have RH6.0 with Apache running. Problem is that if we look our pages
with modem from outside
pages doesn't show correctly. Images are missing and such. If I look
these pages from any LAN
machine in our LAN or other, they work just fine.
Is it that the server gets bored with so slow connection and refuses to

The convention in some communities is to ignore performance
and engineering rigor. Certainly anything can be achieved in
assembly language (or in T-code, if you like) that can be achieved
with a C++ _program_, given infinite time and coding effort.
Given the constraints of a sensible _library_ interface and
equivalent-to-machine-code performance, C++ achieves what
other languages haven't, yet.
Of course some other languages will achieve parity, someday, but
only those designed by people who fully understand the strengths of
standard C++. Maybe such a language will even succeed in avoiding
its weaknesses.

IMHO way too complicated. I simply use automount: the share gets
mounted automagically when you access it, and it gets unmounted after
some time of inactivity.

No it's not. (It is! Is not! Is! ... ;-) )
Let me try to rephrase this again. I see two different things:
1. The capability to create a function that will operate in a
similar way on arguments.
This capability is often called `generosity'.
2. The way this capability is available in C++, i.e. through templates.
Generosity is very important. However, in a language like Haskell
generosity is "built in" into the type system in a very regular
way. In C++, it is tacked on to the existing C type system.
This means that a template in C++ is something "special":
1. you have to indicate it with the word `template'
2. you have to make its definition available via header files everywhere
it is used (OK, there are other tricks, and some compilers have a
"template repository", but you can't really rely on that if you
want to remain portable)
3. you cannot make a generic variable type: something like:
template <class X>
static X x;
is not possible.
4. Every "instance" of a template behaves as if it was a separate
object, instead of being the same object applied to different types.
So for these reasons, I think that C++ templates are indeed a "kludge".

Then stop posting here and take a look at *real* generosity
in a language like Haskell or ML.
If you did this, then you would realize that "templates" are only
the shadow on the wall of a much more powerful and elegant system,
namely an ML-style type system.

Well, if a three line program doesn't convince you, I can sympathise with that,
but sorry I'm not going to copy the whole Haskell tutorial here verbatim.
Go get it yourself at http://www.haskell.org .

I wanted to say it myself, but you'be beaten me to it...
Haskell and ML are *completely statically type-checked*.
(Unlike C++ templates, which are only marginally checked when
parsed, and only fully checked when finally instantiated.)
The fact that the compiler can derive all those tedious type declarations
for you only eliminates one further source of human error.

Stephan

hi,
Ive installed Red-Hat 5.2 on my Acer system with Acer Lan 315 10/100
Adapter(DigitalDS21142/3 chipset). Linux identifies it as Tulip . But
the problem is that the adapter does not autonegotiate with LAN to go

If I to do a 'network restart' quite a number of times, then at one
point it stays at 100Mbps mode and starts functioning.
Can anybody overthere suggest me of a suitable driver for this card or
any settings that i can change so that the adapter by default goes to
100Mbps mode.
Any help is highly appreciated.

This is my own reply to myself .... hope someone might find it useful
Well.... I recompiled linux kernel with all NFS options, and it worked.

Subject: Re: Connecting a Linux Box to a Unix Box
Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 20:48:47 -0500
RedHat 5.0 and 5.2 (haven't tried 6.0 yet; the box is 2000 miles away
from me right now) both failed to detect my D-Link ISA NE2000 clone.
I had to use my knowledge of Slackware and the assorted boot files
to slap the NIC in there. (The card was running non-PnP mode.
Normally I just compile NE2000 ISA support into the kernel and let it
find it at boot, but I decided to do it "the right way" for once and
start using modules...)
One of the reasons my (eventual ;) distribution of Linux will do a
"pnp" run through all the available modules and probe at boot...

I am trying to write a program that needs to parse vt100/ansi terminal
escape sequences. Any pointer to the full vt100/ANSI escape sequences
technical documention and/or any parsing source code would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
