There are LOTS of things different about Ethernet and Token Ring - it is
not just the physical and electrical side of life. If you really need to
bridge those two together then look at Cisco and the translational
bridging that you can do - even then it is of only limited use.
Do what the other guy says and use a router to communciate - lots easier.
Ethernet has lots of fram formats :
Ethernet II
802.3 (using 802.2 encaps)
SNAP
Novell IPX RAW or 802.3 RAW
Packet size is th next fun bit - Ethernet around 1599 bytes, Token ring has
much larger depending on ring speed !
Then you also have the problem of the MAC address being arse about face (back
to front for non aussies).
You can do it ......

I am working on system which include Solaris and Linux (RH 5.2 & 6).
The Linux boxes are mainly used for file servers. I noticed that when
shutdown is initiated the two OS do not broadcast warning messages to
each other.
Is there anyone who can help me to rectify this problem?

Subject: IP fragments sent in reverse order?
Date: 11 Jul 1999 17:21:04 GMT
Hello there,
I had some problems with my NFS not working sometimes. I found out that
in some situations my packet filtering firewall (set up with ipchains)
in kernel 2.2.9 blocked outgoing NFS requests of my client.
After about a month of pondering I think I found out why this happend.
A tcpdump of my NFS requests shows following:
18:36:31.804663 gateway.peanuts.org > wds.peanuts.org:
(frag 52607:1244@2960) (ttl 64)
18:36:31.804809 gateway.peanuts.org > wds.peanuts.org:
(frag 52607:1480@1480+) (ttl 64)
18:36:31.804932 gateway.peanuts.org.nfs > wds.peanuts.org.822116745: reply
ok 1472 read REG 100660 ids 1000/8 sz 6502
(frag 52607:1480@0+) (ttl 64)
This shows my server sending a fragmented UDP packet with the last
fragment coming first. I observed this behavior on my client too.
So what I suspect is, that the last fragments coming first (without source
and destination port) are discarded by the packet filter while the first
fragment (sent as the last) will pass but will be incomplete.
I can somehow not believe that IP fragments generally are sent in reverse
order. Can someone point out what's going wrong here?
I would accept that I have to change my packet filter in that way that
it would accept fragmented packets, if necessary - but would this help
if they come in reverse order?
Confused,

Hi,
I'm having some troubles with ProFTPd 1.2.0pre1-2 (Debian 2.1, kernel
2.2.10). I can't read or write from/to any directory besides /tmp. I can
switch to other directories and ask for a directory listing (ls). Changing
the user and group under which proftpd normally runs, to root/root, doesn't
help either. Am I missing something basic here or what?
Here's my /etc/proftpd.conf:
ServerName "ProFTPD"
ServerType standalone

# To prevent DoS attacks, set the maximum number of child processes

Subject: Help! Cannot print from RH6 to Win98 printer
Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 20:48:38 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have been trying to figure out why I can't print via Samba for several
weeks now, ever since I "upgraded" the Windows print server to Win98. I have
scanned Deja News, and all the Samba pages I could find, to no avail. I have
fixed part of the problem (can now browse my Linux PC from the Win98 box),
but I cannot seem to print.
Symptoms are: Linux side appears to print fine using lpr (no errors anywhere,
in logfiles or stderr), but nothing comes out of the Win98 printer. The ONLY
way I have able to get anything out of the printer is:
smbclient //daisy/HP -P -c "print textfile.txt"
which doesn't work terribly well, since this appears to bypass print
filtering- IOW, some textfiles print out OK, some are stairstepped and some
are one line. Postscript fails completely of course.
Before, using RedHat 5.2, Windown 95B, and a 10base2 network, I was able to
print fine, after configuring Linux via printtool to print to the Windows
printer over the network. I have since upgraded to RH6, Win98, and a 100MB
LAN with a small hub. I cannot get the test print to work in printtool with
the current configuration. File sharing works fine, both ways, between the
Linux and Win98 PCs.
I have gone through the Samba DIANOSIS.txt procedure and found no problems.
The permissions on /var/spool/samba and /var/spool/lpd/lp are world
writable (1777). I have filled in the /etc/lmhosts file with the
corresponding IP addresses and names.
My goal is to be able to print to "lp" using lpr (or whatever), like before.
Current configuration:
Linux PC name: syrinx
Win98 PC name: daisy
There is an account on syrinx for user named "daisy".
HP 870C connected to daisy, sharing enabled. HP is visible from syrinx via
an smbclient command. File/Print sharing enabled on Win98. I can print from
other Win98 PCs on the same network to the HP, so it appears to be
configured correctly on the Win98 side.

While searching through DejaNews, there were quite a few questions about
printing with RedHat 6 to a Win98 printer, and few (if any) solutions. Is
this combination a known problem, or is my configuration just wrong?
Help would be greatly appreciated. Please send a copy of any response by

Yes, although a SOCK_RAW socket would work in linux[1] too (and would be easier
for you because it is a bit higher level). Get man-pages-1.24 and read

...Furthermore, you can ask Red Hat 6.0 to use MD5 hashing, which is
much more secure than traditional Unix crypt-style hashing.
crypt(3) uses the 56-bit DES algorithm perturbed by 12 bits of "salt"
for a total keyspace of 68 bits. I may be spewing about the additional
12 bits being significant, though. What I _do_ know is that MD5 hashing
results in 128 bits, making for a problem 2^60 to 2^72 times harder than
cracking DES keys (the difference being my uncertainty of the number of
significant bits in the old keys), all else being equal, which it is
not, butnevermindthat. B->
Practicality begins to intervene here. The EFF cracked a 56-bit key
in a few days' work with a special-purpose $250,000 computer; but, even
a small number of time doublings (say 6) moves that feat out of the
realm of
practicality, given a good password rotation scheme. (6 doublings of 3
days is about half a year!) Even if MD5 is only
2^60 times harder to crack, it'd take Moore's law about 90 years to
allow a rematch with the son-of-EFF machine.
(By the way, said DES cracking machine is about to celebrate its public
birthday in a few days: it's nearly one year old.)

Since your using Slack use sudo. Slack comes with sudo. Just run sudo
ppp-go. Thats what i do, its easy and keeps secuirty. Just edit your
sudoers file in /etc and your ready to go
