That�s a cool program!
Well, I first waited, but it somehow did not work. So I used hunt to ARP-spoof the
gateway and everything worked fine.

Subject: Linux file server questions
Date: Thu, 08 Jul 1999 18:58:09 GMT
First off, we are engineering office using Autocad.
Because we are expanding and the high cost of a NT file server, we
are considering using a Linux file server. But we have some concerns.
I was wondering if any1 had any comments/experience in this area.
The first is OS crash recovery. Right now we are using 98 as our file
server and it crashes every other day, BUT we have NEVER in the 4 years
of using 9x as a file server had our server stay down because of a
OS melt down. Its just a 5 minute reboot downtime for our users.
Right now we are afraid of using a NT server and
getting a blue screen of death and the file server would be down.
There is no "safe mode" in NT. This has happened to a few NT
workstations and it took a full workstation install again to get it
going again. Anyways the boss is concerned about down time.
I have no idea as to how the disaster recovery works on Linux.
The second is domain controlled file / directory access. Does linux
have any kind directory services? Even NT has your basic domain
user groups and its easy to set a directory or file to whatever user/user
group that you want. Once we installed a PDC and domain services on our
98 server box, we could control domain rights. What does linux
have in this regard? Will Linux respect a Microsoft PDC? Or do
we need to run another machine as a Linux PDC? If so this would
mean converting to a Linux proxie/mail server and domain controller.
That would mean the experiment would be on two machines instead
of just one.
Last is a little feature that NT offers over 98 is the "who has the file open"
feature. After many many "users running around the office saying
who has the file open and every1 says not me", we want the ability to see/control
what user is accessing what files. NT offers this, but what does Linux
offer.
I can't think of any other issues of using Linux instead of NT as a network
file server. Is there any other issues that I should be concerned with? If
these 3 issues are covered, I can't see why we should stay with microsoft?
NT servers just don't seem to make any sense dollar wise and stability wise.
Any comments?
Thankx for reading....

run route to look at your routing table and make sure your ip address you
loopback address and your default gateway is setup. you should have at
minimum those three entries. Use ifconfig to setup your network card and
route to set up any gateways including default if they aren't in your routing
table. If you have any questions e-mail me.

The default configuration for newer kernels includes support for IP
Masquerading. For example, I installed Red Hat 5.0 with kernel version
2.0.32, and I did not have to reconfigure/recompile.
Find the "defconfig" ( default config) file on your system. Scroll through
it and you should easily see whether this applies to your kernel as well.
( Y = yes , N = No, in that file)

The programming documentation says that the UART is a 16C550.

How long after completing the connection are you trying Netscrap?
I've found that Netscape sometimes reports no dns (or similar message
suggesting a dead net link) for up to a minute after I dial; even
after fetchmail (which refers to my mail server by name) has
downloaded my mail. I've not had time to look into it as of yet.
The work around is to just wait a couple or three minutes after
establishing the connection.

Have you looked at the smbmount command? I doubt that the default
"mount" command would call it until you were able to recompile it.
There's a MAN page for smbmount as well as documentation on the Samba
web site.

I am having problem setting up dhcpcd on slackware
my ethernet card works Here is what i had before and what i had affter
this is what my old rc.inet1 look like
#! /bin/sh
#
# rc.inet1 This shell script boots up the base INET system.

if [ ! $? = 0 ]; then
cat << END
Your ethernet card was not initialized properly. Here are some reasons
why
this
may have happened, and the solutions:
1. Your kernel does not contain support for your card. Including all
the
network drivers in a Linux kernel can make it too large to even boot,
and
sometimes including extra drivers can cause system hangs. To support
your
ethernet, either edit /etc/rc.d/rc.modules to load the support at
boottime,
or compile and install a kernel that contains support.
2. You don't have an ethernet card, in which case you should comment out
this
section of /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1. (Unless you don't mind seeing this
error...)
END
fi
# Uncomment these to set up your IP routing table.
/sbin/route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMASK} eth0
if [ ! "$GATEWAY" = "" ]; then
/sbin/route add default gw ${GATEWAY} netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1
fi
# End of rc.inet1
and this is what it says when i did an ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.0.0.0

Hello, folks.
As a proud and vocal member of the Linux community, I am glad to see
that there is growing support for the Linux port of NetZero.
As a NetZero employee, I can shed some light on the current state of
said release.
The truth is that Linux' virtual consoles do not pose that large a
problem. Our Windows release includes a trigger that disconnects you if
you try to change your screen resolution while online. The Linux
release could very easily include a similar trigger that disconnects if
you try to switch to a virtual console.
There are two major obstacles to the release of the NetZero Linux port:
1. Linux is regarded as too small a market. *
* I realize this is a joke, and so do many of the software people here
(I'm not in software development). However, please see #2.
2. We've been stumbling so much lately over our Windows software, that
development of ports to other OSs have taken a back seat.
The truth is that we would love to capture the Linux market. I'm
an employee and I still have to pay for access at home because I use
Linux exclusively.
A letter campaign would definitely help. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the
appropriate address to send your input.
Meanwhile, I should warn you that those who are using questionable
methods to connect to our system without the banner, even though it be
through the most superior operating system on the planet, are risking
the cancellation of their accounts, as well as fiscal retribution, as
stated in our Terms of Service.
Good luck! Hopefully I'll see some of you on NetZero someday.

Well first if you were to read the sites you would discover that the
first things they have you do is to set up the network so they
acknowledge each other. You'd hardly expect to initiate file and
print sharing if they couldn't.

Subject: NT mount to Linux-Net Use.
Date: Thu, 08 Jul 1999 23:12:28 GMT
We are trying to use Net Use to mount to our Linux machine from a NT
machine so that we can make a backup of the Linux box. We get an error
saying that the machine is not allowed to connect to the Linux box. I
have included the machine in the /etc/hosts file, and edited the
hosts.allow and hosts.deny but still no luck. Am I right to assume
that we need to use Samba? Do we need to create an user account for
the NT machine on the Linux machine? Any good docs out there that
could help.
Thanks.

Subject: DHCPd and WINS: possible?
Date: 8 Jul 99 23:57:33 GMT
I'm trying to get my Linux DHCPd server to supply a WINS address to
a subnet... and I can't figure out how. Read all the docs I
could get my hands on, did Altavista searches on both the web
and newsgroups... to no avail. Is this even possible?
Thanks,
