Here's what I got.
A redhat linux box connected via modem to the
internet that serves the connection to an
internal network using NAT.
Here's what I wanna do.
I want to have the above linux box download my
mail from a multiple mail addresses and then when
I want to read it from a computer on the network
I can use a mail client and download my mail from
the linux box.
So how do I go about doing this?
Thanks in advance.

Look, you insufferable ass, the people of the US build the worlds
largest and most successful economy. Our farmers feed the US
population and 25% of the rest of the world. The American people
freely give of their time and money to those less fortunate.
Now as to WWII, why don't you do some research and a little thinking?

The overwhelming opinion of the Americans prior to Hitler was to stay
out of European squabbles. There was also laws against involvement.
Exactly *what* do you define WWII as? The war against Germany began
when Britain and France declared war. As far as I am concerned, WWII
began when the US declared war on Japan and Germany declared war on
the US.

American money rebuilt Europe under the Marsall Plan. I Have *no* use
whatsoever for revisionist historians. They are an insult to
history. I also have little use and absolutly *no* respect for people
who spread lies about my country and my people. Most especially
vicious ones such as these.

Redhat 6.0 / samba-2.0.3-8.i386.rpm: Time stamps on file systems
mounted with the smbmount command from this package are wrong. Threads
in another newsgroup indicate that the 95 bug fixes may be to blame for
this behavior. Disabling the bug fixes and recompiling the kernel had
no effect, however. Is there a quick work-around on this or am I going
to have to track down source for smbmount and/or Redhat's RPM source?
Apparently smbmount is not officially part of Samba. I guess Andrew T &
company have been taking some heat over this. It does seem only logical
that mounts in both directions be supported but logic rarely withstands
limited resources. I wonder if more pizza would help.......

Do you need to mount the drives, or would an smbclient command doing the
copy suffice?
We had a similair problem with a windows machine that was critical and all
the linux machine was doing was backup up data on a regular basis.
Switching to smbclient tar solved the problem, and I have a couple scripts
pulling specific individual files off specific machines using smbclient on a
regular basis with no problems (so far)

i'm running squid on REDHAT 5.2 for my LAN and anyone on the LAN can access
internet through my linux box. I tried access lists but they can provide
only ip address restriction which is not adequate. Can anyone tell me how to
configure squid so that users should give passwords before they can access
internet through this proxy server.

Subject: Dual EtherNet cards
Reply-To: whitewolf@<No_FSCKING_SPAM>.grok.ca
Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 06:34:48 GMT
Evening folks,
I am running RedHat 6.0 linux on a fresh firewall. This is only my
third day with 6.0, as I had been using 5.2 with no troubles (started
out back in the 3.0 with Red Hat..ode to Slackware).
Here's the grief I am having. I am running two 3Com 905b-tx 10/100
cards.
I have lilo configured with the correct append statements, Linux sees
the cards fine.
At this point lets use an internal network class (192.9.200.*)
T1 connections via CAT5 cable into a 100T hub1
|
\/
-one connection to a web/DNS server for outside world (192.9.200.4)
- one connection to card1 on the firewall on card one
--card one = /dev/eth0 = 192.9.200.11 = internet -> hub1
--card two = /dev/eth1 = 192.9.200.12 = internal LAN -> hub2
-card two connects to another 100T hub2, which in turn connects to the
internal network.
now, if I try and ping something inside, say 192.9.200.19 from the
firewall it just sits there. Sounds like a route problem.
But, let's make sure the card on .12 is working. So I plug the cable
from it into into hub1. I can then ping/ftp/telnet to both .11 and .12
from the webserver (or anywhere else). Now I try and plug card1 into
hub2 to see what happens. Bingo, can ping/telnet/etc .19 (or whatever
is inside).
So from this info, I figure it has to be a routing problem. Card 2
will allow access (packets/data) to it, but it won't SEND any.
I have gone over all my personal notes from the past, checked the
README's/FAQs/HowTo's/etc and can't seem to grok it.
If anyone has any quick thoughts on this please email me at:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
<sigh> And so I don't feel like a total moron, has that much really
changed from 5.2 to 6.0???
Cheers,
Scott Fraser

if you go into X and run netcfg, click the "Interfaces" button (at the
top). Then select the interface (eth0). Click the "Deactivate"
button...the active column will change from "active" to "inactive".
Click the "Activate" button and the card should be reset.

Does anyone know of a good website where Linux applications (GNU,
freeware, shareware and commercial) are reviewed by category.
http://www.tucows.com is a good site for freeware but does not provide
information on commercial applications and more categories could be
included. http://serverwatch.internet.com is a very good site for
internet servers, but it is not Linux specific.
If no such site is available, hopefully, someone seeing this request
will build such a site and make themselves some money. I've got my
hands full on other projects, so I can't.

Subject: nfsd: Problem with corrupt files and dying rpc.nfsd with Redhat Linux 5.1 +
Solaris
Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 16:07:59 -0400
Hello,
I'm running Red Hat Linux 5.1 on a PII 400 and am having some problems with
a dying nfsd process and corrupt files when I mount a linux file-system on a
solaris machine and try to copy/extract large files on the mounted system.
Basically every time I try to write a large file (~20MB)
from a Solaris machine to a Linux file-system mounted using NFS, my rpc.nfsd
process on the Linux server dies, and any files from the linux server opened
on any machine get corrupted.
My other HP machines or Windows NT machines do not seem to kill the nfsd process
when writing to the mounted file system.
Can anyone suggest what may be wrong here? I heard something about knfsd being
able to fix the problem. Can I use it without having to upgrade Linux to 6.0?
I also heard that there may be a Solaris patch that may fix my problem...
If it helps, I have some information that may indicate the problem.
My /var/log/messages on linux reports the following just before the process crashes:

Subject: Routing question for small network
Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 16:43:27 GMT
Right now I'm using IP Masquerade to share my cable internet
connection with 3 boxes. I have a Linux box acting as a firewall
connected to my modem and a Linux box and a Windows box behind that
one using ip's in the 192.168.0.* subnet. Everything works great. My
question though is this...if I wanted to have "real" IP's for all
three boxes would I actually have to have 4 IPs to connect the three
boxes?
What I mean is, right now the Linux/firewall box has 2 nics in it, one
for my real ip which is ocnnected to the modem and one with a
192.168.0.* IP that acts as a gateway to my hub which my other boxes
connect to using the 192.168.0.* IP's. Would I have to have 2 real ips
for the firewall box? One for each NIC in it plus one for each NIC on
the other two boxes or can one NIC in the firewall box use a
192.168.0.* IP and use that as a gateway between the firewall box
with the other two boxes using one real ip each, both from the net and
to the net?
Example:
Box one connected to the net: NIC 1 is connected to cable modem using
24.*.*.1 IP and NIC 2 using 192.168.0.1 IP is connected to a hub.
Box 2 is connected to the hub using 24.*.*.2 IP
Box 3 is connected to the hub using 24.*.*.3 IP
or would Box 1 have to have 24.*.*.* IP's for both NICs?
I tried to find some info on the net but everything seems to be based
on using 192.168.0.* IPs for the internal network. I don't have the
IP's to test this with so I'm not sure if there is a way to use route
to do this or not.
Thanks for any help and sorry if I managed to confuse everybody. :)

I'm running Redhat 6.0 with the updated kernel. Running the supplied

server performance -- lots of network timeouts and disconnects from both
POP and Imap clients and very slow sendmail response. This machine
serves about 50 users. It's been running for three weeks as a test
server, being used by about five users and receiving duplicates of all
mail sent to the primary server. Last night I put it online as the
primary server and have been having many problems ever since. The
machine is only a pentium 100 with 64 MB and 2, 1gig IDE drives BUT the
machine it is replacing is a 486 66 with 48MB and a 2gig SCSI drive
running OS/2 Warp 4.0 and Inetmail as the mail server. The 486 machine
has been working VERY well for 3 years under the same load that the
Linux machine is now facing and buckling under. It seems to be dropping
connections left and right -- it even dropped a telnet connection. I'm
quit puzzled since the machine had been running so well as the test
server and the ONLY change I made when I switched it over was to change
its IP address and Host name in the the Basic and sendamil pages of
Linuxconf.
Any ideas on how to tune the system or trouble shoot the problem will be
greatly appreciated.

That's not true: you cannot do // comments in C :)

I agree. In fact, a bunch can be said about typing and non-typing.
However, it's not a preference or style issue like whether to add
a space somewhere or not (not saying you said it did, just expounding
further). And it has definite implications higher up.

Correct, with a cast it's allowed.

Yes.

Fine. But too: Pure safety rarely exists.

Subject: Samba and NT HELP !!!!!!!!!!! please
Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 21:42:55 +0200
Can I make a domain logon to samba with NT ?
I use rh5.1 with samba 2.0-4 and an NT 4.0/SP5. Every time I try to
connect to samba NT has some kind of strange error in the network
neighborhood applet (rundll32 ....). After that I am able to access the
sama domain (???). If I connect from WIN95 domain logon works perfect
(startup, profiles,... etc),
but I have big problems with NT
I use plain passwords and I installed the registry hack for plain
passwords.
Can sombody help me ?
thanks a lot

Does anybody know whether it is possible to have multiple IP addresses
on one ethernet card in Linux, and if so how to do it? I've used the
command ifalias in HP-UX to do this before, but never in Linux. If I
can do this it would help me out a lot!
Thanks in advance,
Alex
