I was having the same problem, not being able to connect to the local
host. What I had to do to solve my problem was go into httpd.conf and
comment out 2 module lines. LoadModule unique_id_module and AddModule
mod_unique_id.c. After doing this and restarting the httpd server I was
able to connect to my localhost. I am using Slackware and I read
somewhere that the above named modules are RedHat/glibc based that don't
work with slackware. Go to your Apache logs directory and look at the
error_log file. If you see an alert that says "mod_unique_id: unable to
gethostbyname" then this is most likely your problem.

mh, did you look at your /etc/shells ? There has to be an entry
for the shell, the users wants to use. E.g. if you passwd file
tells "user:...:/bin/bash" then there has to be an entry like
"/bin/bash" in the etc/shells file.

Some are. Many aren't. You don't know which ones before you even start.
You are starting from the assumption that you already know all
the important principles. If you actually want to learn anything,
you must begin by assuming you don't know everything yet.

If you need an analogy, how about:
"What are you looking for?"
"My keys. I dropped them over there".
"Why are you looking here?"
"The light's better here."
If you want to know why car {X} wins races, studying {Y} and {Z}
(which don't) is no substitute for a very careful study of {X}.
To assume fuel injection must be the key factor handicaps you before
you even start studying.

Eric;
It would probably be best for you to pick up copies ofthe "Linux Network
Administrators Guide" by Olaf Kirch, and "Building Internet Firewalls"
by Chapman and Zwicky.
Linux can do what you want, but because security is the issue, you need
to be well informed. A "quick and easy" setup for security almost always
leaves holes.

If you have other ISA-PnP cards and are running other OSes on the
machine too you probably should stick to the isapnp package to configure
the 3c509. Else you can use a configuration tool (the DOS-based one
delivered with the card, or the linux one from Donald Becker) to disable
PnP and set a fixed address and irq.

Your Win95b box defaults to encrypted passwords, whereas the SAMBA default
is plaintext. Either setup SAMBA with encrypted passwords, or edit the
Win95b registry to be using plaintext instead.

Uhhh...
Your question appears to mix apples, oranges, and bowling balls.
First, where are you getting the DHCP info? Is that the Linux box?
Second, what kind of machine are you logging in from? Win 95/98, Win NT,
Mac, Linux?
DHCP distributes TCP/IP address and configuration, and won't help you login
to a NetWare 4.x or earlier server because that will most likely use IPX.
So your only shot is logging into a NW 5 server running Pure IP.

You aren't trusting the time outs on the software are you?
Using Outlook Express the outgoing mail will time out and ask if you want to
wait for the server. I answer 'Wait,' and the mail will go out before the
next time out. Being used to the instant response of Internet mail over
PPP, I trusted the time out and it took me a while to realize that the mail
actually would go out. This was on my 3 node home network where I use
Outlook Express.
Once downtown on the NT network I found that Outlook (not Express) has a
setting for server time out which can be set for as much as 5 minutes. The
mail clears from the screen and goes to the outbox where it quietly waits
for either WIN95 to kick it out or, for SMTP to pick it up. (I still can't
figure who the slow-poke is).

Subject: yppasswdd, Redhat 6.0
Date: Sun, 04 Jul 1999 12:48:33 +0100
We are using the ypserv-1.3.6.91-1 package , which is shipped with
RH6.0.
All NIS daemons work perfectly except the rpc.yppasswdd.
Our NIS master holds the passwd in a file other than /etc/passwd. So in
/etc/rc.d/init.d/yppasswdd script we start the yppasswdd with the -p
option. That is, rpc.yppasswdd -p /<password_dir>/<password_file>.
Users on client hosts use yppasswd to change their password. After
entering the old and new password they get a positive reply saying that
password has been succesfully changed. And indeed, the password changes
and they can use the new one as expected.
On the server side, /var/log/messages reports from rpc.yppasswdd that
the password has been changed, again as expected.
However 'ps -auxww | grep yp' shows that rpc.yppasswdd no longer runs.
Trying to run the daemon in debug mode:
rpc.yppasswdd --debug -p /<password_dir>/<password_file>
then again using yppasswd on a client host produces the following output
on the server side console:
rpc.yppasswdd - NYS YP server version 1.3.6.91 (with CHECKROOT)
yppasswdproc_pwupdate("<some_username>") [From:
<client_IP_address>:1371]
Segmentation fault
The NIS password has been changed and pushed to the clients, but the
yppasswdd daemon stops running.
If the yppasswdd daemon starts without the -p argument, that is, using
the /etc/passwd file by default, there is no problem. However being able
to use a separate file for local host passwords and NIS passwords has a
few well-known advantages.
Any suggestions?

Subject: Re: Why are transceivers so expensive?
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Sun, 04 Jul 1999 12:43:14 GMT
Basically, it's supply and demand. Back when transceivers were commonly used,
they cost a little bit less than the going price for PC ethernet cards of the
day. But nowadays external transceivers are used a lot less, so the
manufacturers don't compete much on the price of them. BNC transceivers are
worse since they're used even less than 10BaseT ones.
I'd suggest looking at surplus places and seeing if they have thinnet
transceivers. There's also a network hardware forsale newsgroup
misc.forsale.computers.net-hardware. Someone there may have cheap
transceivers available.
Regarding diagnosing your problem. I'd try disconnecting the cable at both
ends (but keep the T connectors and terminators attached) and measure the
resistance with a multimeter. It should be about 25 ohms. Then I'd try
wiggling the connectors to see if the resistance changes. If it does, you
have a bad connector. I don't know of any ways to test a transceiver,
though.

Best thing is to delve into the source. Load er' up and start parusing.
Right now, most folks need more tools and utilities for managing the
existing networking stuff. Linuxconf is nice but it's an all purpose tool
and is still lacking in many ways. Maybe you could join that group and
contribute to the furtherance of it or start your own tools.

Well, can't help much there but you probably can just connect using "proxy"
stuff instead of direct connects when you use netscape, etc.
I for one lost Wingate as it's a proxy and doesn't support or manage a lot
of stuff that's built in to linux. I removed it, and Windoz, and put a
server up with Linux only and it provides all my connection to web, shared
printing, etc. There are networking helps on configuring a Linux box to use
cable modems, etc. Then just use the ipforwarding, ipmasq stuff and your off
sharing everything.
