I takes work to do but it rsh is not good enough then try the
following idea, which I know works. Give the users a shell in /etc/passwd
that is a setuid root program that calls chroot(), chdir(), drops the
privs and then execs a shell in the new environment. You will need to
make sure things like /lib and shared libraries, etc are visible in this
new environment. The environment can have as many or a few
tools and whatever fascism you like (this could include mounting the place
were there home directories are with the noexec and nodev options).

More than likely. It's a simpler design, hence why hubs are cheaper

killall -TERM httpd
will kill it.
It looks like you've got some SQL stuff set up or compiled into your
apache program. If you don't have SQL configured or your not using
it, why not re-compile apache ( the latest is 1.3.6 ) and don't
add any sql mods to it.

How can I configure Lynx to no ask the user/passwordof of the firewall in
each diferent server I connect?
I tryed with -auth and -pauth, but it only works in the first server I
visit.
Is posible to configure Linux to go through the firewall (with
user/password) for all the applications? In a ~transparent way, without
configuring each program with user/password. It would be something like a
'gateway' between the applications and the firewall.

Subject: How to clear CLOSE/CLOSE_WAIT states?
Date: Fri, 02 Jul 1999 15:09:35 +0200
Hi,
I have run into a problem with a WinNT application which
connected to my Linux server. The application crashed and
I see that on Linux (Red Hat 5.2 kernel 2.0.36-7) there
seems no timeout on the TCP stack for this sort of condition.
Netstat shows me:
Proto Rx Q Tx Q Local address Remote address State
tcp 145 0 linux:15000 nthost:1942 CLOSE
tcp 9 0 linux:15000 linux:12855 CLOSE_WAIT
tcp 9 0 linux:15000 linux:12785 CLOSE_WAIT
The situation has persisted for days and I can't get the port
free (there is no active server listening to that port, nor
a client connected to it since it crashed)! I turned off the
NT machine and the condition still persists. A few days ago
the same happened and the only solution was to reboot the
Linux machine which is *very* unacceptable!
Is there any solution to this? an utility program perhaps?
please copy responses to my mail address, and hope to get
this problem solved :)
TIA,
Emilio

You don't really need a whole distribution... Check out

There are quite a few tools for booting a diskless box there. I succesfully

Make sure you enable "Root Filesystem on NFS" for the kernels of the diskless

Subject: Linux Box as local PPP server
Date: Fri, 02 Jul 1999 14:19:59 +0100
Hi
I'm trying to set up a Linux box with a dial-up connection to my ISP so
that users on the local network will get access to the Internet through
Explorer/Netscape on their own (MS) machines on the local network.
The idea is to make the dial-up connection invisible so that when the
user's browser (or whatever) is fired up, the Linux box handles all the
dial-up stuff and makes the connection; similarly, when the user has
finished, the connection to the ISP is broken.
I have ISDN access but am initially just using a modem to keep things
simple.
pppd works fine on the Linux system on its own.
Samba works fine between the MS systems and the Linux box.
I've ploughed through as many HOWTOs and Newsgroup submissions as I can
find but I'm missing the key information on how to:
a.) Make the network connection between the users IP address and the DNS
supplied IP address on the Linux box.
b.)Automate the dial-up process and make it invisible to the user.
Can anyone point me in the direction of some specific HOWTOs or other
info.
Thanks

Subject: ipchains question
Date: Fri, 2 Jul 1999 08:42:43 -0500
I'm trying to get ipchains set up so that I can masquerade a win98
box via my Linux box which I've attached my cable modem to.
I use
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -s $gameboy -j MASQ
where $gameboy is the IP Address of my win98 box.
I've got the forwarding turned on on the linux box and the win98
boxes default route goes to the linux box.
I can make a connection to the internet from the win98 box
and the command
ipchains -L -M
shows that I have masquerading connections.
ipchains -L
shows that I have an increasing number of packet counts.
The problem is on the remote system where the connection is
made, it is seeing the $gameboy IP Address and NOT the address
of the Linux box. If I check the log files on the remote machine,
it shows me the $gameboy IP Address.
Is this because the $gameboy IP Address is a 'real' IP Address
and not a 192.* or 10.* IP Address... or I'm I missing something?
The $gameboy address is in the same subnet as the linux box.
I thought that the 'ipchains -A forward -s $gameboy -j MASQ' line
would tell the Linux box to use it's own IP Address when it made
the outgoing connection.
Any info would be appreciated.

I can send emails with netscape using the mail server of the university

I want to be able to send email from my computer to my university

computer to connect PPP automatically and then send me the (dynamic) IP

I read the Mail-HOWTO (twice, went through the "Linux Network
Administrators' Guide", through the BIND documentation, through
Networking-Overview-HOWTO.
I still can't figure it out !
What should I do? Do I need to give a name to my computer (other than
localhost), a domain (other than localdomain) ? How do I do this ?
Please help.
I am willing to summarize answers for those interested or even to
propose a draft of a new introductary section for the mail-HOWTO (with
all due respect to the author, it seems to me this is missing).

You need to select Network Aliasing and IP Aliasing (two different options
in the kernel setup) and install the new kernel if the old kernel didn't
have those options set. Once you do that, you can use ifconfig to
configure interfaces like "eth0:0" and "eth0:1" which can each have a
different IP address.
It's the "ifconfig eth0:0 www.xxx.yyy.zzz" step that is probably most
similar to running ifalias under HP-UX.

Have you tried adding entries for the IP addresses of the other host(s)
into /etc/hosts? Usually it likes to reverse resolve the IP's before it
will let you in. securetty only controls the login for root, it wouldn't
stop you from getting a login prompt.

You were logging in through PPP using PAP. It's not mysterious, it's
easy.

You don't use minicom to connect to a system that wants you to
authenticate using PAP. You dial it using a program called chat that is
called from pppd. You may have another mechanism, like the pon command,
for calling pppd.
I've been promising several people the secrets to doing PAP logins, so I
guess I can tell you. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the
configuration required for pon. I've only done it the once and to get it
to work, I just followed the directions included with the package.
Perhaps someone who knows pon/poff well will join in with his
instructions.
For Brokersys (the Internet provider I set up and run) we usually give
people a shell script that does the equivalent of the pon. This script is
this. Save it as "linuxppp"
#!/bin/sh
/usr/lib/ppp/pppd \
connect "/usr/lib/ppp/chat '' ATZ OK ATDT<ISP PHONE #> CONNECT" \
/dev/ttyS0 38400 crtscts modem defaultroute -mn -bsdcomp \
-pred1comp -pc user <Your USER ID>
Replace <ISP PHONE #> with the ISP's phone number, including whatever
other sequences you need to get it to work. For example, if you're
calling over a line with call waiting and the number to dial is
281-774-2741, then you would replace <ISP PHONE #> with \*70,2817742741
(You have to put a backquote in front of the asterisk because otherwise
the shell will replace it with a list of all the files in the current
directory.)
Where "<Your USER ID>" should be replaced by your user ID (it's usually
your email address without the "@" or the stuff after it).
To use this script, you need to edit two files: /etc/ppp/options and
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets.
/etc/ppp/options should look like these six lines:
+pap
-chap
lock
passive
If you're interested in automatically redialling, you use a slightly
different method that includes the -detach option and a shell script with
an infinite loop.
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets should have this line in it:
<Your USER ID> * <Your Password>
Where "<Your USER ID>" should be replaced by your user ID (it's usually
your email address without the "@" or the stuff after it) and "<Your
Password>" should be replaced by the password you use to get access.
Once you've configured all the files, then you become root and run
linuxppp.
