Subject: PPP slows down
Date: Sat, 10 Jul 1999 17:28:40 +0100
Hi
PPP works fine...for about two minutes. Things then quickly slow down until
eventually... no response from my ISP.
Same with Netscape and lynx.
Ping reports failures to return packets. ifconfig also reports errors.
If I set PPPD to 9600 everything works fine all the time (but is of little
use).
I stole the modem (Hayes Accura 56k Speakerphone)initialisation strings from
Windows 98 (which works fine).
If I stop PPPD and restart immediately, the same problem immediately.
However, if I stop PPPD and wait for 5 minutes (or reboot), it again works
fine for two minutes...etc.
Something to do with error correction, buffering...?
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks
John Simpson

If you are a newbie chances are that the release of the kernel you are
using is 2.2.x, in which case I strongly suggest you ignore most of the current
HOW-TOs that tell you to use 'ipfwadm'. After hours trying to set up a firewall
utility I discover that in this new kernel release 'ipfwadm' has been scraped
and that you have to use 'ipchains'. I can not give you anymore information
about how to use 'ipchains' at this time as I have only just discovered it and
have not had the time to try to set it up.
I hope this saves you the time and frustration I endured trying use
'ipfwadm' on a 2.2.x kernel. :-)

Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 09:57:59 GMT
Hi,
I can use smbclient to connect share directories on our nt server. But
the smbmount command did not work. I use the following command:
smbmount //ntserver/myshare -U steven -c 'mount /mnt -uid 0 -gid 0'
this command ask me input a password, after I typied it in, it returned
me a 'No such device'. Then I used the following command parameters
instead:
smbmount //ntserver/myshare -U steven
This time, smbmount also ask me to input a password, i in turn typied it
in again, everything looks fine, it bring me into a 'smb>' prompt, but I
can not input any command under this prompt!
Could anyone tell me what I have missed? How can I mount a nt shared
directory to my linux box?

I'm having a similar problem.
I'm using the tulip driver on my Kingmax GFA7000 PCI Ethernet card
I not the crossover cable is working because I dual boot between linux
and Win98 and the network is A-OK.
I also notice that when I display the ARP table the H/W mac address
displays "in-complete" what-ever that means.
This must be either a driver prob/bug and/or TCPIP config.
I find it hard to believe with a simple route table and IP config
that its not working.
How does one debug these problems?
Let us know of you find out what the problem is...

Reply-To: "Kenneth J. Ingram" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Does anyone now what utilities, commands or tools can be used to
release or check the getty/mgetty devices for locks?
I have this problem whereby, the third or fourth consecutive time
I dial in to my ISP using "pppd connect chat ...." it kills the
getty/mgetty.
The su and login commands get locked up and the /dev/cua1 port is blocked.
My only recourse is to reboot the machine.
At some time during the reboot the cua1 port gets unblocked and the dialup
resumes as the machine shuts down.
If any one has tips on how to best track this down I would appreciate any
useful comments, advice or tips.
Thanks

China. The reason Rome and China never fought was due to
geographical distance. They simply could not get to each
other within a reasonable fraction of a year. Remember the
definition was that it was a World War if the top X
military/economic powers were fighting. Anything excluding
China therefore would not be a World War under that
definition.
I considered that China had fallen so far by the time of
Napoleon that it was not one of the top X military/economic
powers.
You may wish to dispute this and go for an earlier date like
(say) the Spanish Armada, whatever - the exact date of the
decline of China is a matter of conjecture. However this all
goes to prove that saying if X of the top military/economic
powers are fighting, then that is a World War is utter
crap. I hope you see that even with your own example.

hello!
on some machines its impossible to compile knfsd as module with a
vanilla 2.2.10 kernel. the redhat 2.2.5 kernelsources are patched
to allow this.
three possible solutions:
1) switch back to redhat's 2.2.5
2) compile knfs into the kernel instead of as module
3) apply som patches (eg: alan cox's ac10)

===============================
John,
I am using a JetDirect (EX+) print server , so can tell you
it will work. Is it possible that the IP address of the Jet Direct is not
192.0.0.192 (default) ? I suggest doing a hard reset on the Jetdirect by
unplugging the unit's power cord, and pressing the test button for 5 seconds
or more. That will set it back to the default settings, and you should be
able to ping / telnet 192.0.0.192.
When I set up my unit, I did not have to set up a route for it - but I did
enter it's IP address (after changing it via telnet) in my hosts table.

Subject: /etc/ppp/peers/... permission denied (?)

Hi all,
I'm having trouble setting up a PPP configuration,
where non-root users can establish a PPP connection
to an ISP. (A very usual task :-)
But first for my actual setup:
Debian-2.1 with some Potato updates
kppp from KDE-1.1.1
pppd-2.3.7 or pppd-2.3.8 (tried both)
According to the recommendations of pppd's manpage
the "noauth" option for the ISP is not set in
/etc/ppp/options but in /etc/ppp/peers/netsurf.
After a fresh install of pppd I find the following
ownerships and permissions set:
drwxr-x--- 5 root dip /etc/ppp
drwxr-s--- 2 root dip /etc/ppp/peers
-rw-r----- 1 root dip /etc/ppp/peers/netsurf
The permissions of pppd and kppp are:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root /usr/X11R6/bin/kppp
-rwsr-x--- 1 root dip /usr/sbin/pppd
Note that they are both suid root.
When a normal user tries to open the connection
via kppp, he receives the famous "pppd died
unexpectedly" message after dialling out.
/var/log/ppp.log is more specific:
Can't open options file /etc/ppp/peers/netsurf:
Permission denied
I can "fix" this temporarily by opening the path to
the options file for all users:
drwxr-xr-x 5 root dip /etc/ppp
drwxr-sr-x 2 root dip /etc/ppp/peers
-rw-r--r-- 1 root dip /etc/ppp/peers/netsurf
The user can then open the connection successfully.
However, some (yet unidentified) security script
doesn't like these settings and restores the
original ones now and then at boot time. And I guess
it's right in doing so :-)
My question is: How can pppd, despite its suid bit
being set, have difficulties in reading the provider
specific options file? How can this be fixed?
Thanks in advance!
Michael
