Date: Fri, 09 Jul 1999 02:18:37 GMT
I support a district church office as a volunteer. The office has recently
converted to a distributed staff approach. Approximately half of the staff of
10 now work from their home offices. The office has been running Netware 4.1
and I recently set up RH Linux 6.0 as their webserver. They also have been
using a DataPerfect (gasp) database that needs to be replaced with something
newer. All workstations are Windows 95 and the distributed staff have internet
access - albeit not necessarily 56K.
Being relatively new to Linux I need advice as to how I can provide both the
in-office and home-office users secure access to the database and other office
files. Should they connect via the internet vpn/ras style (is that possible?)
or use an FTP type connection or other dial-up? I'm also not certain if should
convert their database to MS Access and continue to run it from the Netware
box or if I should set up a database on the Linux box. And if so, which
database? And if I run it from the Netware box what is the best way to access
it from the Linux system?
I am aware of the IPX howto but am not certain how that relates to a
connection over the internet.
I'm sorry this is so involved but I am trying to do right by these folks and
want to keep expenses to a minimum. Any help and/or advice is sincerely
appreciated.

Accurate counts are difficult in total wars, especially in the case of
China where massive numbers of civilians were killed.
One source: http://www.cfcsc.dnd.ca/links/milhist/wwii.html#partic
gives 20.6M for the Soviets alone, and 9.5-13.5 for the Chinese (the first
one is probably more solid than the second).
It also puts the Polish and Germans at 6M each, The Yugoslavs and Japanese
at about 2M each.
In the case of England vs the USA, it's values are
295k soldiers plus 62k citizens (UK)
vs
293k soldiers (USA)
----
Here's another set of estimates from
http://www.stokesey.demon.co.uk/wwii/casualty.html
(sorry no print references, those would be at home)
Soviets - 8.6M + 16.9M civilians = 25.5M
Chinese - 1.3M + 10M = 11.3M (probably undercounted)
Germans - 3.2 + 3.8 = 7M
Polish - .8M + 6M = 6.8M
Japanese -1.5M + .3M = 1.8M (seems to undercount civilians
deaths greatly - a-bombs alone came close)
Yugoslavs- 3M + 1.4M = 1.7M
Brits 326k + 62k = 388k
USA 295k = 295k

[I pruned a couple of .misc groups before replying.]
For Linux, check the hardware compatibility lists at Red Hat's site
(http://www.redhat.com). For OS/2, look in the \ibmcom\macs directory
for .nif files. Those are the NIC information files, one for each
brand/model of NIC. Pick a card that appears in both places.
I'm using the Intel EtherExpress 10/100 and 100-only cards with Warp,
and my Linux server (a Dell Poweredge 4200) has the equivalent on the
motherboard. Note that the Intel gigabit stuff doesn't have Linux
support.
AFAIK, cable "modems" (really a router) are configured to talk to only
one Ethernet address. This is often preconfigured to be the card the
installer brings with him. If you intend to provide the card, let them
know beforehand so they can set the NIC address. The address is
typically stored in a PROM on the NIC, and there's a label on the PROM
with the address listed as 6 hex numbers separated by colons. The first
part of the address is the manufacture's code, and the last is a serial
number, so sometimes the first part is stenciled on the card and the
last part is on a label on the PROM chip.

You could always try doing IP_aliasing and doing your IP_masq/Routing that
way. I have done that with a ppp0 link at 28.8. Works fine..

Subject: How to automate adding users (linux)?
Date: Fri, 09 Jul 1999 03:01:41 GMT
Dear Linux Gurus,
I am a newbie to Linux, so please excuse me if this is a repetative
question.
I have set up a Linux (Redhat) server to perform e-mail services (POP
and SMTP). I can add users by hand and e-mail services appear to work
fine.
I have a Microsoft NT Internet/Intranet site set up using IIS. I have
a password database running on one of my servers, and I have it setup
so that users can sign in at an Intranet login prompt (NOT using NT
security), and set a password for Intranet apps. This works fine.
Now I want a way to spawn a "create user" process on my Linux box, so
that they can have a POP e-mail account automatically created, and a
way to change the password in both places.
I assume I could create a shell script to handle the process, but I
don't know how to "spawn" it from a Web page on a different server.
I am also interested in using LDAP services, but I don't know if that
would solve the problem. And if it would, I'm not sure where to begin.
If you've got any suggestions please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Darren

This is the best way that I know to explain things.
If you want a Linux machine to print to a printer attached to a
Windows machine, then you will need Samba. All filtering, converting,
etc. will take place on the Linux machine and Samba just sends
the output through a script to the Windows machine. The Windows
machine does no processing to this file. You need to share the
printer from within Windows so that the Linux machine has access
to it.
If you want to print from a Windows machine to a printer attached
to a Linux machine, then you will need Samba. You install your
printer driver on the Windows machine and use that to print to
a network printer that Samba has made available to the Windows
machine. This output is basically a binary file that is sent
unchanged over the network to the Linux machine. There will
need to be a printcap entry for this printer on the Linux machine.
If you want Linux to print to a printer connected to a print server,
then Samba is not involved. This printer just needs an entry in
your printcap file. You should be able to print text like this with
little difficulty. If you want to print Postscript files, then you
will need to install ghostscript to convert your Postscript file
to a common printer language that your printer can understand. Again,
you will need entries in your Linux printcap file for this.
If you want your Windows machine to print to a print server, then
most likely, you will use the software that came with the print
server to set up printing to it. Again, I would think that you
will setup your printer driver on the Windows machine and then the
output will be sent directly to the print server. It won't go
through the Linux machine or use Samba.
Hope the above was understandable.

I need to give our user access to HAND FULL of selected sites on the
Internet.
How can I achieve this?
Considering if I set them up with the Main proxy (proxy X) they have full
Internet access.
Can I setup a Linux proxy server that routes requests to the Proxy X and

users to use Linux as the proxy server?
What do you recommend?

I am having trouble executing programs on a mounted NFS partition. I can
read and write file perfectly fine but when I try to execute anything I
get a permission denied message. I do not have access to my fstab file
(because the drive is mounted on boot up) but I think that the options
are
johannes:/home/david /mnt/johannes/home/david nfs user,auto,rw 1 2
1) I think that is the line. Also when I log in as root or su to root I
don't have the power to delete the files on the NFS partition. I can
easily just change back to my normal user but it is kinda of annoying.
2) I have a soft link from /home/david to the NFS partition. I was
wondering what is the difference between a hardlink and softlink and
could I use a hard link in this case and would it make a difference.

This works like a charm. Thanks for the tip. I had thought about doing
that at one point but I guess I forgot with all the other things I was
trying. For anyone else that's curious, all you have to do is install
Bind 8.x.x and set it up to do DNS caching as described in section 3 of
the DNS HOWTO (link below). This also makes surfing a bit snappier
since the DNS resolution happens on a server that is dedicated to your
LAN after the first time you resolve any particular address. I'd
recommend doing this even if you don't have the Win95 problems to deal
with. Thanks again John.

Well, I'm replying to myself here just in case anyone is curious about
how I got this fixed. Couldn't figure out a way to use ipchains to
block something only for the purposes of dial-out decision so I took
another approach and started named (a.k.a. bind 8.x.x) configured for
caching only and pointed the Win95 boxes at my linux box for primary
DNS services instead of my ISP DNS IP's. Once the initial dialup cycle
is done for these mysterious DNS requests, the address that MPREXE.EXE
is looking for (whatever it is) is cached so it doesn't need to dial out
for it after that. Hope this helps anyone else facing this very
irritating situation.
DNS/named/bind caching only setup is described in the DNS HOWTO at:

Found a very good introduction to sockets at:
http://www.thedarkside.demon.co.uk/sockets/socket-guide.htm
Now, I'm looking for a web reference to teach me how to connect and talk
to a nntp server...
Any ideas?
