man crond
Basically it means "cron daemon", from the Greek word "cron", and is used
to automatically perform regular (or irregular, as the case may be) actions
at set times, days or even months.

Subject: Network Setup -- Win98 box and Linux
Date: Wed, 07 Jul 1999 16:30:58 GMT
Hello,
I am setting up a network between my Win98 box and Linux box,
and am having just 1 problem, the 2 machines aren't talking to
each other! Here's the setup.
I have 2 NICs installed, with a crossover cable running between
them. The cable looks correct, I bought it brand new.
Win98 IP - 192.168.0.2
Linux IP - 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask on Win98 - 255.255.255.0
Netmask on Linux - 255.255.255.0
Broadcast on Linux - 192.168.0.255
first question:
What should be the proper Gateway address for the Linux box
and Win98 box out of this configuration?
second question:
what is the proper route command for the Linux box, and does
the Win98 box need to have a route command added, or any other
"hidden" files need to modified to reflect the route? I say hidden
because the hosts file on Win98 is not within their GUI.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

I never said the U.S., per se, had to be involved.
Hmm. So you're saying that without any participation by any country on
one side of the world, it's still a _world_ war? Nice, very nice.
Or, put another way, would you call a war that didn't involve _any_
European countries a world war? Uh huh.
Always good to know where our respective prejudices lie :).

Date: Wed, 07 Jul 1999 14:37:56 GMT
My first reaction to using a X-based firewall is: don't do it. There are
way too many security implications involved. You are clearly a relative
newbie, so at this point you wouldn't even know where to start plugging
holes. And believe me, there are quite a few...
I'd suggest trying a different distribution if Red Hat doesn't do what you
want. Personally, I run and recommend a CLI Slackware machine as a
firewall.

Hi Mihai,
I'm not so sure it's a problem with 2.2.5 at all. I upgraded my kernel to
2.2.10 and the problem still persists... I agree, though. I think something
has caused this to break in the 2.2.? kernel. I'm thinking of going up to
2.3 but I'm not so sure if that's a good idea since this is a production
machine... But, I'll probably end up doing it over the weekend and if it
works, I'll post an update :)
Adios,
Rick.

Date: Wed, 07 Jul 1999 16:29:35 GMT
I am making a Linux "router." I have two network cards in my Linux box.
One is 10.8.80.6 netmask 255.255.255.0 and the other is 10.8.70.6
netmask 255.255.255.0 I have one windows box off of each card.
10.8.80.20 and 10.8.70.20, on the respective networks. How do I talk
from one windows box to the other? Do i have to forward IPs? Would
this command work: ipfwadm -a m -S 10.8.80.6/24 -D 10.8.70.6/24?? Or
will it conflict with my current command ipfwadm -a m -S 10.8.80.6/24 -D
0.0.0.0/0 that forwards my windows box to the Internet? Can you forward
one IP to two different ones? Any experiences? Any help will be
greatly appreciated!! Thanx in advance!!

Subject: How to control when pppd demand dials out.
Date: Wed, 07 Jul 1999 17:09:15 GMT
I have several Win95 boxes masqueraded behind a linux box which is set
up to use the pppd demand option (i.e. dial on demand). Win95's
Multiple Protocol Router service (MPREXE.EXE), wakes up about every 10
or 15 minutes and makes a DNS request. Since the Win95 boxes are
configured with my ISP's DNS addresses, this is an "out of LAN" request
and therefore causes the linux box to dial out. I have hosts and
lmhosts set up with all names for addresses on my LAN and localhost so
MPREXE.EXE must be looking for something else (perhaps sending my SSN
and bank balance to noprivacy.microsoft.com or something ;o).
Without going as far as using something like diald to manage the
connections, how could I keep pppd from demand dialing in response to
these specific DNS packets and still allow other DNS requests?
Thanks!

I would like to configure my RH 6.0 system for use an an anonymous FTP
server. Yes, I have the anonftp RPM installed, but I'm not clear on the
permissions needed to allow/restrict user access.
Basically, I want to create a read-only directory, e.g.:
/pub/outgoing
and a write-only directory, e.g.:
/pub/incoming
The write-only directory would not allow reading, or even listing, of the
files. My intent is to use this directory for work-related files that I
don't want the world to see.
I've looked through the FAQs and mini-FAQs, but don't see how to arrange
the kind of setup described above.
Pointers to info, please? Thank you.

So let me see - excluding Europe and going for the bigger
countries I can think of from the top of my head...
Canada was involved, India was involved, Japan was involved,
China was involved, the Soviet Union was involved, South
Africa was involved, Australia / New Zealand were involved -
and it was a mainly European war...
What was this about the intelligence of US posters?
And of course it only became a World War when the United
States of America (with no other country) became involved.
What was this about the attitude of US posters?

These error came out as the result of "ifup" in network-scripts that
suppose to initialize the network card and the setup the routing. It fail
to setup the default gateway with the error "SIOCADDRT: Network is
unreachable". Interestingly I can execute the exact same command later
when the startup process is done.
The way I found the error was by sticking some echo commands generating a
log of what ifup do. I even changed the behaviour so ifup try to setup the
gateway several times. But it didn't help.
Thank you.

I may be dead wrong on this, having only set up two NetZero accounts

runs on only Win & MAc's. One of the setups I did was for a Win box
