Hmmm... to answer my own question, it seems that ip-down.local is not
being run when diald shuts down an idle link. So I wound up with multiple
fetchmails running.
Anybody have any idea why this script would not run when diald close
ppp0? For now it is running from diald.conf, but I thought it ran w/o
being in diald.conf. ip-up and ip-up.local are running...
Thanks

I've been having some interesting download speeds ever since I set up my
Linux box as server/router to my other NT box.
Ever since I yanked the modem from NT and put it in Linux, I have
experienced abnormally high download speeds on my 56K modem. Abnormally
high being the transer was peeking out around 10-11KB/sec. I was hoping
perhaps somebody here might have an explanation of this. The setup is as
follows.
Linux box w/56K modem doing ipmasq for routing.
The two are connected via crossover ethernet cable running at 100Mbps
My only thought was that somehow, because when the NT box is d/l'ing, it's
going over the ethernet cable and getting it's speeds...mixed up somehow.
However, as I write this, I d/l'ed a 595KB file in 74 seconds or 8.04
KB/sec. So the speeds DO seem to be accurate.
On Windows, I'd never been able to get over 6KB/sec! And now Linux has held
11KB/sec transfers over a period of an hour!?
Is this merely Linux kicking ass again or just my imagination?
Thanks for any ideas,
dpc

Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 01:15:56 +0100
Hi,
At work we have several Sun 3/50 X-Terminals. They run on Motorola
68020 I think.
I downloaded the specs from Sun and several other places but cannot find
the necessary software for Linux.
I am running Slackware 3.5 with X-Free86 3.3.2.
I am very much a novice with X, a real pain to try and get working at a
decent speed on a 486 which is mostly why we plan to use a 486 per
machine (or maybe even more than one 486 for each terminal if someone
tells me how its done) for the program tasks and the X-terminal for
graphics as 486's tend to have crap graphics cards.
We have tons of 486's that we could use, most of which are 100Mhz and
even a few Pentium Overdrive machines, so getting the computer side is
not a problem. Just configuring and software.
I know enough about Linux to set up a simple router, fileserver,
printerserver (all on one 486 DX4/100) so im not a total novice. But X
certainly is the most tricky part to get working.

Subject: NFS mounting linux shares with solaris
Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 00:27:29 GMT
I've been getting wierd problems mounting linux shares with Solaris (via
NFS). My linux boxes all share the /home tree for accounts. (Makes
things easier for me).
But, whenever I use Solaris machines (Both Solaris 7 x86 and an Alpha of
Solaris 2.8), after a while, strange behavior happens: I can read files
from the share fine, but whenever I try to write to one (create one), it
creates in on the server, but then I can't access it. For some reason,
Solaris thinks it's a directory. On the server, a zero byte normal file
is created.
The only way I've been able to solve it is by rebooting.
Anyone have any suggestions? The shares are with options: rw and
no_root_squash
Please respond by e-mail!

The way I look at it there are a lot of potential delays in effecting
a dns change.
Starting the clock at when the change is made on the master (a typical
user probably would start the clock earlier, but delays at this point
are not really attributable to dns), there is the time before a slave
gets the update, Ts, the time before a non-authoritative server might
query for the name, Tn, and the time before a client application might
ask again for the name, Tc.
The upper bound on Ts (slave zone check) is the refresh time on the
SOA statement.
The upper bound on Tn (ns caching) is the TTL for the resource record.
There is no limit on how big Tc (client caching) is. With most apps
and client systems, it is typically 0. For Netscape, I've been told
it is 15 minutes.
Anyway, assuming Tc is 0, we still may need to wait as much as Ts + Tn
for a name change to become effective on non-authoritative
nameservers. Some people might call this propagation delay.
Note that the delay I mention is a worst case situation. It assumes
the server that someone might use has cached the old answer for a
resource record after having obtained it from a slave server right
before the slave checks the master to see if the zone has been
updated.
Using one of the examples in Dns and Bind:
movie.edu. IN SOA terminator.movie.edu. al.robocop.movie.edu. (
1 ; Serial
10800 ; Refresh after 3 hours
3600 ; Retry after 1 hour
604800 ; Expire after 1 week
86400 ) ; Minimum TTL of 1 day
Ts + Tn = 10800 + 86400 (seconds) = 27 hours
(Of course, other zones may vary wildly from this.)

The old behavior with unfsd allowed that, if "/" was exported, then
all file systems under "/" including the root file system were
exported. The new behavior under knfsd only exports the root
file system if "/" is exported. If you have /usr, /var, etc. on
separate file systems you will have to explicitly export them.
There are plans to roll the "old style" unfsd export behavior into
later versions of knfsd (it will probably become a compile-time
option as to which behavior you want).

Welcome to the land of kernel space NFS, where men are men and
the kernels are more top-heavy than usual ;-). Not that this
is a big change; unfsd liked to go braindead and take the
portmapper with it every few days or so if you had it under
heavy use. NFS has always been an Achilles heal of Linux.
Hopefully, the knfsd will fix all this when it matures.

Change the BOOTUP variable in /etc/sysconfig/init from
"color" to "verbose". That will give you the old startup
behavior back. This is mentioned in the Red Hat knowledge
base article titled "Initscripts & Logging".

No.
I can do nfs with other computers , but can't export my own filesystem.
This probably means that I have NFS support in my kernel correctly.

Possible to serv ASP pages by redirecting HTTP through Linux?
If your curious why not use Linux for everything... I'd Like To!! However,
this web interface is a demo for clients etc who have creative needs... for
that matter so do I :o)
Machine A:
Linux box acting as router, primary web server, FTP server, pop3, smtp and
DNS servers. Masquarading
Machine B:
NT4 machine running IIS4, so can support .asp pages, Access databases and
SQL Server 7
Machine C and D:
Win95 and Win98 boxes, for design/games/etc
ADSL Box:
Quasi-Static IP address (long story), LAN connection, trying to suss out
pinhole etc so that it just passes everything to the linux box to deal with.
If anyone has lots of info about the Nokia M10 do tell!! :o)
Essentially want to run linux as main web server, and somehow redirect .asp
pages to the NT box. Is this possible in Apache as a config extension, or
does anyone have a script that can be used so that the .asp extension is
passed to a program/script/shell, which queries the NT server? Worst case
I'll write the freaking thing... just be nice to know if there are
tried/tested ones out there already :o)
Of course, I could wait for ChiliSoft to come up with an ASP engine for
Linux and query the databases on then other machine, however already have NT
with SQL etc going, so would prefer to use existing hardware/software....
My other option would be to have two IP's, and have seperate sub-domains for
linux and NT.... eg www.domain.com and asp.domain.com - however this is
not easy, cheap or practical for current situation :o(
Suggestions or comments much appreciated...
Cheers,
John

I know I've gotta be missing something rather small... I have a win 95 and a
RH6.0 on a network with 10Mbs cards. I move files fast going from win95 to
linux, whether I push or pull. But from Linux to win95 it is REAL SLOW.
Again, whether I push or pull the files. What gives?
Also, I was able to set everything up for SMB to work fine, but is there a
way to mount the win95 drive to a directory like my cd or floppy is mounted.
It is pretty annoying to use smbclient every time.
Thanks in advance,

I don't think that is a public newsgroup as I don't have access to it at
all. It also seems odd that it does not follow the normal naming
convention of most news groups, ie comp., alt., etc

You cant use or start DNS? Do you have a local nameserver running?
If so, you have to start it as root (as it binds to port 53 ; below 1024)
but you really should be able to use it as a user.
Can you do
telnet ip-of-the-nameserver 53 ? Get any response?
What is in /etc/resolv.conf? What are the permissions of that file?

Nothing special. Just the 2 routes of those nets. But you have to tell the
other machines on the net to use that interface (ip) as a gateway.
And dont forget to
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
if you use kernel 2.2.x
