Subject: Is this possible - IP Routing
Date: 12 Jul 1999 10:41:53 -0500
I was just wondering if this was possible:
If I had two service providers, one with a block of static
IP's (even just dedicated dial-up or ISDN link) and another as a
dynamic IP, full time link (such as a cable modem).
Now, if I have dialup users, can I give them the IP addresses from
service provider 1, but route all traffic through service provider
2? Can I have all DNS/reverse DNS work properly?
Thanks in advance.

Hi folks,
I upgraded the default kernel of my RH5.2 (2.0.36) to 2.2.10.
there was no problem compiling and installing it. But when I boot the
machine I get the message net_pf_4, net_pf_5 not fount by modprobe. I
looked for modules or even files with similar name under
/usr/src/linux-2.2.10/.... but I found nothing.
Of course nfs, dhcp and several other things don't work either, but I
think those problems depend on the error modprobe gives at bootup!
Any suggestions?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanx,
Stephan

I'm having a similar problem with RH5.2. I tried to manually enter
the ipfwadm and ipchains commands and get a shell error message
that these commands are not found, even after I have recompiled
my kernel specifically to do IP Masquerading... If I find anything
I'll keep you posted and please do the same for me. Best regards, --

I'm attempting to set up IPmasq on my linux server. This is the first
time I've done such using a 2.2.x kernel, and it's causing me some
problems. I'm using the 2.2.5 kernel.
That said, here's the problem. According to all the documentation I
can find about IP chains, I'm supposed to compile w/the option
CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL_CHAINS, but I've never even SEEN that option. If
anyone out there could tell me explicitly how to get IP chains working
as much as I need it to, I'd be forever grateful.

These modules are for the IPX and AppleTalk protocol. Just ignore them
if you don't use these, or put
alias net-pf-4 off
alias net-pf-5 off
in the /etc/conf.modules files

Date: Mon, 12 Jul 1999 16:31:01 GMT
I'm relatively new to Linux, and am enjoying many of the security benefits
that are built into it. One of the things I'd like to be able to do is
limit access to files and/or resources by time/date.
For example, I'd like to give my children access to the modem to dial-up
the internet. But I don't want them to have free reign! It would be nice
if I could set some permissions in Linux saying that they could only use
the modem from 6:00-8:00pm, and all day on weekends, for example. This
would keep them from surfing the web when they should be doing homework!
Is this possible under Linux? If not, is there a 3rd party utility or
program that would allow this?
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Try using rwall. If you want it always to be executed with
shutdown, write a script which first does rwall and then
does shutdown. You have to have the package including
rwall installed.
However, utilities like rwall can create security problems,
so think about whether or not you really want it.

Date: Mon, 12 Jul 1999 14:42:01 GMT
Hi there !
I was trying to connect 2 Linux-machines over the serial port and be
able to network these to via TCP.
But for some reason, it did not function.
First I get the error : network is down, wenn I want to ifconfig ppp0,
but the right serial port is used , I think (ttyS01, which for some
reason is maped to ttyS2 - netconf only offers me the joice between
ttyS1 and ttyS2, and ttyS1 is the mouse)
The second problem is when I got frustrated and wanted to try plip0
instead, it told me, that the device does not exist (must I load some
module into the kernel ?) And how do I specify the IRQ and address to
work with plip0, because the defaults are not right for me.
thanks for everything.
Michael.

Since you're running a packet filter, you should definitely compile the
kernel with the IP_ALWAYS_DEFRAGMENT option turned on. This will force the
stack to defragment packets before they are screened by the packet filter.
Otherwise you stand to lose data, as seems to be the case here.

I have a W95 box networked to a Linux RH5.2 box. The Linux box can
access the W95 files perfectly using smbmount. The W95 can telnet into
the Linux box and browse the Net concurrently with the Linux box (to
which the modem is connected).
The Linux box shows up in the W95 box Network Neighbourhood but double
clicking on it gives the following error:
\\linuxbox is not accessible
The specified computer did not receive your request. Try again later.
Running testparm on the Linux box gives the following error:
Badly formed boolean in configuration file: ""

I have set everything in smb.conf to readable, writable etc but I can
not get past this error.
Any ideas?

For some inscrutable reason when using the v2.2.x kernels
the option to select the rtl8139 NIC only appears if you
select "Prompt for development and/or incomplete
code/drivers" when configuring the kernel. Yes, I know it
used to appear without this, but now it doesn't. Go figure.

You may need to set CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y to see the other option.
When you 'make xconfig', you run linux/scripts/kconfig.tk, which prompts
you for the option values. The script permits you to save the configuration
to your own file. If you do so, and then edit the file, you will see all the
options along with the values you've set for them. Probably a similar
arrangement obtains under 'make menuconfig', etc.

If you use masquerade, it becomes possible. The problem with doing it
without masq is the fact that the IP addesses that are internet known
(static given by an ISP) will come back through the wrong portal into
your network.
message out from known IP, you route to fast port, response from net
will come back through slow port.

Once again, I've done this. In order to use the IP masq'ing stuff,
you must set CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y, so I did. Any other thoughts?

Hi,
I have win95 and redhat 5.2 linux (dual boot) on my PC. I used to have an
ISDN connection at home. Both win95 and linux used to obtain the dhcp
information successfully from the router (which runs the dhcp server).
Recently I moved to DSL. I have been working OK with win95 for the
past couple of days. However when I tried to boot in linux for the first
time after DSL was installed, it failed 'Using DHCP for eth0'. The DSL
router is running the dhcp server.
After dhcp failed during boot, I tried to run dhcpcd -r, but somehow I never
see the daemon in the 'ps ef' output. When I run dhcpcd -d it dumps core
immediately.
Can someone point me to the right things I should be looking for ? Where
can I find any logs as to what exactly failed ? /var/log/messages doesn't
seem to give any useful info.
Thanks.

The NFS v3 implementation in Redhat 6.0 appears to be broken.
This would be more tolerable if it knew it was, but it doesn't.
Simple solution for now, turn off NFSv3. I did it by modifying
the startup script to run "rpc.mountd --no-nfs-version 3".
Then everything works.
